Tom Smith

Sound Designer

Hello, I'm Tom, a Sound Designer & No. 1 based in York, UK.

I have over 8 years of experience working in theatre, first as an in-house technician, then freelance Sound Engineer, to now focusing on design.

I love working with live music and foley, and I'm interested in using game audio technology to make theatre sound more reactive and interactive.

If you need sound design for your project, I'd love to talk;
you can get in touch with me by email at tom@tomsmithsound.uk.
