This week my guest is award-winning, freelance foley editor and mixer Sophia Hardman.
Sophia studied Sound Technology at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and started out her career at Twickenham Studios as an intern 9 years ago.
Since then Sophia has worked on a wide range of projects, from high-end TV dramas to Oscar-nominated feature films. Her credits include THE OUTFIT, HOUSE OF GUCCI, THE LAST DUEL, BELFAST, NO TIME TO DIE, ENOLA HOMES, THE TOURIST, STATE OF THE UNION and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH.
We talk about the strange and unique language of foley, the differences between a foley artist and a foley editor, what it means to create impactful, unexpected sound effects, why she made the move to freelancing after working in-house at post house, how she chooses projects to work on and how she stays across technical / technological trends.
