AboutI am sound recordist and sound designer with ten years’ experience, based in Bath but regularly join projects in London and across the South West. Throughout my career I have worked primarily in location sound for commercial, television, film, podcast and branded content projects. I also offer post-production services, such as designing and mixing as well as using industry standard software such as Izotope RX to repair audio. I’ve enjoyed working in diverse environments from on a mountain and frozen lake above the Arctic circle in Sweden, to studios and corporate environments in central London and cities in Europe. I hold a full clean UK driving license and have a car and van, and am more than happy to travel nationally or internationally. With my friendly can-do attitude and experience, I work easily with any crew, project, client and subject matter.
Previous clients include BBC, NHS, Financial Times, Google, Nike, JP Morgan, Truespeed, Open University, Umea University, Black Dog Films, and 4Music. I’m interested in the natural world and have been enjoying incorporating this into my work in recent years. In 2022 I joined a three-year project called Guided by Nature, for which I was responsible for the sound design, SFX and VO recording, and mixing of a range of audio guided walks. These walks tell immersive stories about climate change, and were released in an app for a national park in northern Sweden. This involved capturing sounds (including the noises made by wildlife and the cracking of frozen lake ice) on location, editing and recording all dialogue, and creating and mixing sound effects to support the storytelling. |

"Mark is always efficient, professional and a pleasure to work with on set. He does post-production as well, so really sees a project through from start to finish. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Simon Lex - Blind Rhino
"Mark embraced the challenges of producing a film for one of our corporate clients! They were new to film with limited knowledge of the process involved however Mark completely put them at ease. He remained very patient and professional even when they didn’t follow protocol and still managed to use his technical expertise to produce work of an extremely high standard. I look forward to working with him on the next project."
Keith Dennard - PropView TV
"I can't recommend Mark highly enough, he did a fantastic job on our four day shoot for PLAZA (a short film). Mark is not only very talented but he also has great problem solving skills, especially when encountering some tricky sound issues. We were lucky to have him on board. He is lovely to work with, extremely professional and did a hands down brilliant job, will definitely work with him again!"
