Foley Artist

A foley artist is someone who creates sound effects for things like movies or TV shows.

Sometimes they have to re-create sounds if an actors sound was lost or too quiet.

They use a foley-studio or foley stage to record the sounds because the room has the right sound-proofing and adjustments to allow the sounds to be recorded properly.

They can also record sounds to go with the real sounds to allow the sound to be louder and more noticeable.

An example for the types of sounds they make is the sound of feet walking because the sound is usually drowned out by other sounds.

One of the most common ways to make the sounds is using your mouth to make noise, record yourself doing the actual act that you are trying to get sounds for or using inanimate objects or foods to make noises with like a balloon.

They also make noise for reverb or echoes that are in certain types of rooms if the actual sound doesn't give off that effect.
