Hi, I’m Dona Richardson. I’m a sound professional with 25+ years in the commercial post‑production industry. I record, edit, mix and design sound for television and radio commercials, trailers, promos, music videos, and other short-form productions. I run a full 5.1 capable home studio and love bringing ideas to life with audio. Over the years I’ve collaborated with networks and agencies across Los Angeles, including FOX, Netflix, NFL Network, ABC and more. I enjoy the craft of shaping audio to complement visuals and tell compelling stories, from on-air campaigns to cinematic soundscapes.
