The sound of wicked

In 2024 I was very fortunate to be invited to join the Simon Hayes team in the shooting of the Wicked, & contribute a small amount to films recording. It was an opportunity I loved to be a part of, as I was able to get an up-close experience of HOW the film was being worked on, & the detail that went into capturing the amazing performances you see on screen, & that is a literal explanation, as what’s heard in the final film, was captured in-take, on-set, in the moment, which is a phenomenal effort which the audience has resonated with! Give the video a watch & get a feel for the magic.

Wicked: Part 1, has been announced as a BAFTA nominee for best sound in 2025
