Foley artist
Post-production soundmaker
A Foley artist creates sound effects for film, television, and other media by performing and recording everyday sounds in a studio.
Named after sound pioneer Jack Foley, these specialists reproduce footsteps, rustling clothing, breaking glass, and other ambient noises that sync with on-screen action: The Foley artist walked on gravel to match the actor's steps.
