Ethan Madding: professional boom pole holder, dial twister, and record button pusher, less commonly known as Sound Mixer and Designer. I was recently asked what I wanted to bring to the world of sound. My response was “Root Beer Jelly Beans.” What does that mean? Absolutely nothing at all, but it was the spontaneity of the statement that was my real answer. I want to provide fresh, surprising, and genuine individuality to every project I work on. No matter the size of the project, or the challenge presented in the design, I will always give 110% when working on your story. Your story takes priority. Before I was a dial twister and button pusher, I was a story teller, and it's your story I want to be told with innovation, care, and authenticity.
