Job profile of a foley artist: Interview with Max Bauer

My name is Max Bauer, born on November 22nd, 1964 in Munich. I was a drummer and sound engineer and became a freelance foley artist in 1995 after a 3-year assistantship with foley artist Mel Kutbay. Foley artists are mainly active in the post-production of films. Occasionally also on radio. In specially equipped recording studios, they synchronize action and movement sounds (in real time to the running image) that have to be re-recorded for artistic or technical reasons. They invent sounds, compose effects and create details for sound design.
