Duru Yildiz

I’m Duru (she/her), an East Midlands–based sound designer and composer who started out as a film sound editor in Istanbul and has since built experience across theatrical sound roles. I’m a BA Film Production (Sound) graduate from Arts University Bournemouth, and I’m especially focused on sound design, live sound operation, and music-driven storytelling—bringing both technical reliability and creative detail to every production.

I’ve worked as an assistant sound designer and touring sound operator, and I’m progressing into leading roles in fringe theatre. Alongside theatre work, I’ve contributed as a sound designer and production sound mixer on multiple film projects, and I enjoy the full workflow from editing and programming to mixing for performances—whether that’s AV-over-IP/Dante setups, radio mic management, or hands-on venue system installation.
