Foley artist
A Foley artist is a professional who creates or recreates everyday sounds that accompany visual media like films and TV shows. They add sounds such as footsteps, rustling clothes, or object movements to enhance the audio experience, making scenes feel more real and immersive. Using specialized tools and materials, Foley artists record these sounds in sync with the footage, often performing them live during post-production. Their work ensures that the audio aligns naturally with the visuals, improving overall storytelling and audience engagement.
