G'day!
I hate doing these, remember the 3rd person 'band blurbs' everyone used to do? Well I'm going to try and be a bit more personable than that ;) Here's a little about me:
I've been working in sound for almost 20 years now, based originally in Sydney Australia, and now in London UK. I started young, so am far from the crusty old soundie stereotype.
My skills and experience should speak for themselves - I've worked on Grammy winning albums, terrestrial TV broadcasts both live and 'As Live' across multiple continents, traveled the world with film crews recording documentaries, mixed and mastered what feels like a million different projects now, and I still love the craft and the people. I'm very pleased that in almost all cases I end up being wanted on subsequent projects, and I think thats because my priority is people. Helping the whole team win is a priority, it doesn't matter if I managed to pull off an incredible setup or the perfect mic placement if in the process I make the talent or producers uncomfortable. The goal is to help everyone do their best while also doing my best, I'd like to think I accomplish this quite well.
You can find some of my credited work on IMDb under Phill Metcalfe (sound dept), and I'm currently working very broadly across film and broadcast spaces, alongside podcasts, audiobooks, livestreams, and just about anything else with a mic attached.
