Professional Sound Design & Post-Production for Film, TV & Animation

Robert Newman - Sound Designer

I am a freelance sound designer, editor and recording engineer based in Brighton & Hove, UK. I work across film, television, advertising, and online content collaborating with directors and producers to make their projects sound as good as they look.

Since 2011 I have collaborated with studios and creative teams in both the UK and Canada, contributing to projects ranging from mainstream television drama and children’s animation to corporate and branded media.

I focus primarily on sound design for animation, crafting expressive, story-driven sound that brings animated worlds to life. I specialise in building sonic environments from the ground up, using sound to support narrative, character, and emotion.

Alongside animation, I am an experienced dialogue, ADR & SFX editor for live-action film and television, where precision, consistency and attention to detail are essential. Working across animation and live-action allows me to approach every project with a balance of creativity and technical care. I take pride in delivering high-quality, carefully crafted sound while working efficiently and collaboratively.

I work remotely from a professional Pro Tools setup at my home in Brighton, with the flexibility to travel for on-site work when needed. I am conveniently located a 15-minute walk from Brighton Station, making commuting to central London very straightforward. I hold dual UK and Irish citizenship, as well as Canadian permanent residency, allowing me to work freely across the UK, Europe, and Canada. I am also a full member of AMPS (The Association of Motion Picture Sound).

Whether you’re looking to enhance your next production with rich, expressive sound design or need a reliable engineer for dialogue and voice work, I bring creativity, technical skill, and thoughtfulness to every project I take on.
