About
I’m David Drake, an award-winning re-recording mixer based in London with 17 years of experience across high-end television drama, comedy, and documentary. I love working at the intersection of creativity and craft—guiding the mix in attended sessions, listening closely to directors and producers, and translating feedback into clear, character-driven sound that supports performance and storytelling.
My background also includes extensive dialogue and sound effects editing, plus the workflow and technical planning needed to deliver on schedule. Whether I’m leading a session at a post facility or supporting independent productions, I bring a collaborative, solutions-focused approach—while also mentoring junior team members to help everyone do their best work.
