I am Göksenin GÖKSEL, a senior audio producer, sound designer, voiceover artist/director, and university lecturer based in Istanbul, Türkiye. Over 30 years I have built a career spanning radio storytelling, audio documentaries, multilingual audio guides, podcast development, and creative audio pedagogy. I founded CETUS Sound Design Studios and YODIVIKI, Türkiye’s first dedicated audio content platform, and created initiatives with international reach. I combine hands-on production with entrepreneurial leadership to craft engaging audio experiences across borders.
In academia, I design and teach advanced courses at Kadir Has University, shaping the next generation of audio producers and podcasters. My work spans from museum audio guides for major institutions to cross-border radio collaborations, and I develop methodologies that bridge classroom learning with industry practice. I am passionate about audio storytelling, sound design, and mentoring professionals through complex multilingual productions.
