Sound designer and editor Colin Ryley joins Greg Staffa to reveal how sound helps bring movies and television shows to life. He explains the work behind Foley, dialogue replacement, sound effects, background noise, and the countless audio details audiences often never realize were recreated during post-production.

Ryley also discusses his journey from music to film and television, the creativity required to invent convincing sounds, and the differences between working on horror, live-action projects, and animated series. He also shares stories from his work on projects including Super Team Canada, ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series, and Dr. Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish.
