• Coordinate closely with the boom operator to plan mic placement, coverage angles, and backup options for each scene.
• Scout locations ahead of shooting days to identify noise issues, RF interference, and coverage challenges before they hit the schedule.
• Deliver sound reports and properly labeled audio files to the editorial department at the end of each shooting day.
• Communicate with the post-production supervisor and picture editor regarding any audio concerns, double-system playback needs, or ADR flags.

• Minimum three to five years of credited experience as a production Sound Mixer on film or episodic television sets.
• Proficiency with professional mixing consoles such as Sound Devices 688, 833, or Zaxcom Deva, and wireless systems including Lectrosonics and Zaxcom.
