Sound Recordist Melbourne

Experienced Sound Recordist, Melbourne

Melbourne-based sound recordist and boom operator with over 16 years of experience across feature films, documentaries, TV series, commercials, and branded content.

Since 2009 I’ve been recording location sound across Australia, from inner-city shoots to some of the most remote locations in the country. I bring a calm, focused presence on set and a broadcast-ready kit built for the demands of modern production.

Why work with a Melbourne sound recordist who knows the craft?

Experience you can rely on. Over 16 years as a location sound recordist in Melbourne, with credits across major Australian and international productions. Known for being adaptable, low-stress, and easy to work with on set.

Versatile across formats. Scripted drama, fast-paced TV, documentary, TVC, and corporate content. Comfortable as boom operator or sole recordist depending on what the production needs.

Melbourne-based, available nationally. While I’m a local Melbourne sound recordist, I regularly travel for shoots across Australia and internationally.

Client Testimonials

“I wanted to let you know that at many times during post production, my editor was singing your praises. He said the buzz and atmos tracks and general audio quality were top notch, and super helpful for him to work with. He’s been able to really do some cool sound design from the suite. So, thank you so much for this.”
