Royce Lagarde

Who I Am

I am a professional audio engineer and sound designer with a degree in Audio Production and a proven track record of delivering high impact audio for commercial and narrative projects. My career is built on the philosophy that clear and intentional sound is the invisible bridge between a story and its audience.

What I Have Done

The core of my professional history lies in advertising campaigns and commercial production. I have extensive experience recording and editing voice overs, crafting bespoke sound design for brand storytelling, and ensuring that every element of a mix serves the narrative. I specialize in a dialogue first approach, ensuring that every word is surgically clean and perfectly placed within the stereo field.

Technical Experience

My technical foundation is built on surgical dialogue restoration, noise reduction, and atmospheric sound design. I utilize a Nuendo based workflow specifically for its superior post production toolset and seamless integration with DaVinci Resolve via AAF and Fairlight round trips. While my background is rooted in engineering, I also bring a background in classical orchestration to my projects, providing organic piano and woodwind driven scores for documentaries and films.

What Makes Me Stand Out

Having worked on various ad campaigns, I bring a level of professional polish and broadcast ready standards to every project. I am an engineer first, which means I ensure that your dialogue, sound effects, and score are mixed to hit precise industry loudness targets. I offer the unique combination of a surgical editor’s ear and a composer’s heart, allowing me to handle the entire audio post production chain for a film or series with technical empathy and creative precision.
