Jamie Sophia Pettitt
Audio Engineer
Freelance audio engineer. Sound recordist, boom op, dialogue editor. Music recording and mix engineer. Bassist. She/They.
I am a location sound recordist and dialogue editor based in Manchester and the North-West. I graduated from Futureworks University with a 1st Class BSc in Audio Engineering & Production. In my studies I experienced a range of post-production audio roles, and am always looking for opportunities to develop my skills further.
Since graduating, I have become a facilities technician at Futureworks. My roles include the maintenance of audio equipment and studios, which gives me the opportunity to continue learning, and provide technical support for current students.
I regularly work as sound recordist and mixer with Ludovico Studios. I have worked with various indie production companies around Greater Manchester, including Film on the Brain, BrewUp Productions, Sonder Pictures, KAMFilm, and Connection Film.
I am an Avid Certified Pro Tools Operator (PT210M). At Futureworks, I have access to an Avid S6 cinema studio for surround sound post-production, a professional mastering studio, and a wide range of studios and microphones for recording and mixing. I have also worked as a live sound engineer at Aatma, in Manchester's Northern Quarter, and Hope Mill Theatre.
