Sound for Film with Bill Donnelly
Bill Donnelly has spent decades at the sharp end of professional audio, from Foley and sound design on major film and TV productions including Band of Brothers, to recording live sporting events on location for ESPN. Based in New York City, where he built and runs his own recording studio, Bill has worked with members of Wu-Tang Clan and brings a career's worth of real-world experience across music, broadcast, and post-production. In this episode, he breaks down what it actually takes to build a career in sound for film and TV, how Foley and sound design work on major projects versus smaller productions, and what the day-to-day reality of working across studios, sets, and live events looks like.
