Liam Cavanagh
MA Sound Design
How's it going!
I'm Liam, a freelance audio producer based in the northwest of the UK.
I facilitate sound design services for filmmakers in sound production and post-production, focussed on providing Foley art, location sound/field recording, and sound effects recording.
A short while ago, I successfully completed a master's degree in sound design at Leeds Beckett University, where I had the great fortune to work on some truly inspiring projects, while meeting many influential and creative people along the way.
As a highly passionate, dedicated, and motivated person myself, I believe in working together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, and so I’m continually striving to improve my techniques, expand my skill set, and find new opportunities to grow as a professional, as well as an individual. Each of my projects, both solo and collaborative, have provided me with this growth and allowed me to establish myself within this competitive industry.
For any more information regarding myself, my experience, portfolio, or how we can collaborate on an upcoming project, don't hesitate to get in touch!
Nice one!
