About

I'm George, an experienced sound assistant with working across TV, film and commercials. I possess technical understanding of the many aspects of working on set and enjoy problem solving on the go and work well under pressure with a calm demeanour whilst maintaining a positive, can do attitude.

I split my time being a sound assistant as a freelance PSC Sound Recordist in order to support my young family and I seek the opportunity to utilise my experience whilst developing new skills as  to further sustain a career in TV.

I have a background in post production audio as I studied Sound Design at the University of Hertfordshire gaining a 2:1 and after graduating worked in a boutique audio post production studio in the heart of Soho.
