About

Hi, I’m Evan Tantian Shyan, a freelance audio engineer and sound designer with years of experience shaping sound for trailers, TVCs, idents, short-form videos, films, audio tours, audio dramas, and art installations. I edit, design, mix, and record voiceovers for diverse projects and collaborate closely with directors, producers, and vendors to craft immersive sonic identities. I thrive in cross-disciplinary teams and love bringing creative visions to life through sound.

I routinely manage on-location sound, camera operations, and on-site audio setups, while coordinating talent, vendors, and post-production partners. My work spans in-house campaigns, museum exhibits, and broadcast media, and I enjoy mentoring freelancers and exploring how sound enhances storytelling in art and culture.
