SOUNDS BY KATIE
ABOUT
Here's Katie between takes performing a food fight scene that involved a lot of wasted pie! Layers recorded: whip cream, oranges, blueberry pie filling, and a wet chamois.
Other facts fun or maybe not: Midwestern. 5'2", I wear a size 6 shoe, I can eat kimchi & artichoke hearts straight from the jar. Big fan of hot sauce or anything spicy. I love movies like Rushmore, Booksmart, and Ford Vs. Ferrari. I like walking and when I was a kid my dream job was to play in the WNBA.
KATIE WATERS she/her
My passion for Foley started during my post production classes at Columbia College Chicago. After graduation, I freelanced as a Foley Artist. I currently work on the staff sound team at Noisefloor, a post sound and original music facility in downtown Chicago. I record sound effects on their Foley stage. If our team ever needs an extra hand, I will supervise sound on films and edit hard sound effects and ambiences/backgrounds.
I have performed Foley for feature films, video games, short films, podcasts, episodic series, and commercials. I'm on the look out at antique stores and garage sales for anything that makes a unique sound to add to our prop collection. When I start a project, it's necessary for me to immerse myself into the world the characters are living in in order to deliver the absolute best sound to slide right in as a layer of the soundtrack.
