Summary
Sound design is the emotional heartbeat of a film, TV show or game.
A soundtrack has the ability to make you feel scared, to be uplifted, to bring you to tears, to build tension and release joy. At the NFTS, we marry together training in the technical skills of sound design with a passion for telling stories through sound.
At the NFTS, you’ll get to work in industry-standard facilities and learn all aspects of audio post-production, developing the techniques and creative awareness required to work as a professional sound editor, sound designer and dubbing mixer.
You will also have the opportunity to use your skills to tell real stories, collaborating with students including composers, production sound, editors and directors on a range on genres across film, television and games.
Course Facilities
NFTS Sound Editing suites are fully equipped with Apple computers, Protools, key industry plugins, LCR or 5.1 monitoring from PSI, and S1 mix controllers. Our Dubbing Theatres are kitted out with Industry standard Avid S6 and S4 mixing consoles. The studios are Dolby approved, with JBL Monitoring and ProTools Digital Audio Workstations. Our largest Dolby Atmos dubbing theatre is based in the original Anvil recording studio, where many famous scores were recorded, including those for the Hammer Horror films.
We also have a dedicated Music Recording Studio for recording live music and foley.
