I’m Ashish Lakra, an audio engineer with 4+ years of experience spanning film, OTT, live sound, studio production, and AI-driven audio workflows. I work across the full post-production journey—audio editing and restoration, ADR and dubbing, Foley & SFX, QC, and multi-language mixing—while keeping broadcast and theatrical quality consistent. I also support AI-oriented audio tasks like music annotation and audio data labeling, focusing on accurate tempo/genre/mood/instrumentation tagging and strong quality control. From live concert soundchecks to Dolby Atmos mixing and multilingual dubbing direction, I enjoy turning details into clear, natural, production-ready audio for platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5, Jio Hotstar, and ETV.
