I am Tony El Khoury, a Lebanese sound designer and supervisor with over a decade of experience delivering feature films, Netflix/streaming series, documentaries, and international TV campaigns. I founded Melgard Sound Studio in 2012, where I lead end-to-end audio post-production—from sound design and dialogue restoration to ADR supervision, foley, and final stereo/5.1 mixes for cinema, broadcast, and streaming. I’m known for meticulous detail and consistently strong client feedback, and I’m proactive about learning new software, improving workflows, and using AI-assisted tools intelligently to save time while preserving cinematic standards. I thrive in collaborative environments, guiding teams of editors and recordists, coordinating schedules, scopes, and budgets, and ensuring deliverables meet loudness, format, and platform specs. My work spans feature films, Netflix series, documentaries, and international TV campaigns across the region and beyond. I’m fluent in Arabic, English, and French, and I’m passionate about ongoing challenges in sound design, dialogue restoration, ADR, Foley, and immersive 5.1 mixing for cinema and streaming.
