Ethan Foss Design Ethan Foss is a theatrical sound designer creating an aural experience through soundscape, effects and music. This is done with subtle ambiance,

He supports the emotional arc of the story by utilizing the natural human response and behavior through sound. My name is Ethan M. Foss & I reside in Rochester, MN. I have a true passion for audio technology. I have been working in the audio industry for over 15 Years. I started in 2001 working at a local church as the Audio & Visual Technician, then in 2004 I started working with local theatre co

mpanies as the Sound Board Operator & in 2011 I started working as a Sound Designer for a local theatre. In 2007, I started at Mesa Community College in the Music Business, Sound Design, & Audio Production Technology degree programs. I graduated in December 2013 with a Certificate of Completion in Audio Production Technologies, interning at The Black Box Theatre. I am still pursuing the Certificate in Music Business & Sound Design as well as the Associate of Applied Science in all degrees. While at college I learned about Sound Design, Sound Recording, Live Sound Reinforcement & Audio Editing. While not currently taking classes at school, I am taking video courses on Lynda.com in the subject area of audio & music. I am interested in audio production, sound design, audio engineering & audio recording as it will allow me to combine my passion & love of sound & music. It will also allow me to utilize both my educational background & hands on training. Though I have many years experience in the theater & performing arts industry, I pride myself in being versatile & being able to fill multiple roles in the entertainment industry. I find that working with audio is more of a hobby than a job. I thoroughly enjoy mixing audio, designing effects, recording artists & editing tracks. For me, keeping the enjoyment & love for this work is what makes it into a career path. My motto is "The greatest career, is that which was a hobby" - (Unknown)

Final class project for Sound Design 2, even though I am working on 2 other videos now in class. This one is the required class final video.

We got the cinematic trailer for 2 Legacy of the Void with no audio to it. I added all sound effects with sounds from Community College library or they were recorded by me and edited.

No music or voices were added at this point, but am hoping to get my brother to do the voice over for me so I can add that into it later.

Screenshots are what I get to look at for hours on end while deciding how to make it sound.
