Available to hire
I’m Alfie Skinner, a confident sound post-production assistant based in Bristol with a passion for unscripted film and television. I bring hands-on experience in Foley recording, post-production sound mixing, tracklay preparation, and sound design, along with professional on-set and post-production work. I also hold a full, clean driving licence and enjoy collaborating across departments to help tell stories through sound.
I earned a BA (Hons) Filmmaking from UWE Bristol (First Class) and have trained with award-winning dubbing mixers. My toolkit includes Avid Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, and IZotope RX, plus practical know-how with recording studios and dubbing suites. Eager to relocate and continue growing in film and television sound, I combine technical skill with a collaborative, studio-wide mindset to bring projects to life.
