Hi, I’m Saba Shonia, a Production Sound Mixer and Sound Designer with experience across feature films, documentaries, TV series, commercials, and video games. I’m passionate about capturing clean on-set dialogue and authentic ambient sound, even in challenging locations, and I work closely with directors and post teams to keep audio consistent across episodes and scenes. In post, I’ve contributed as a dialogue editor, Foley mixer, sound designer, and final mixer, using tools like Avid Pro Tools and iZotope RX to deliver clear, natural vocals and immersive soundscapes. I’m fluent in Georgian and English, with intermediate Russian, and I enjoy collaborating with international crews to bring stories to life through sound.
