About Me
Meet Scott Davidson
I’m a post-production audio editor and sound designer with over five years of experience bringing stories to life through clean dialogue, immersive soundscapes, and original music. I specialize in VO and ADR recording, dialogue editing, SFX design, and mixing for everything from commercials, reality tv, documentaries to fantasy web series.
I spent the past five years at QuestCoast Studios, where I evolved from scenic painter to full-time sound editor thanks to the studio’s supportive “promotion-from-within” philosophy. My background in audio engineering (SAE Institute, 2012) allowed me to quickly step into roles like boom op, composer, and eventually full-spectrum post-production sound editor.
One of my proudest projects was Ready to Roll, a 27-episode DnD-inspired fantasy series for YouTube, where I composed original music, designed all sound effects, and mixed each 45-minute episode under a tight two-week turnaround. I’ve also handled detailed ADR and VO sessions, from creating nature ambiences for a documentary to rebuilding audio for MOS commercials—recreating every sound from scratch, including Foley and atmospheric layers.
Whether I’m laying in breath-driven percussion using gym equipment, capturing the lonely ring of a dropped baton in a cavernous warehouse, or ensuring a voice line punches through a loud commercial mix, my focus is always on storytelling through sound.

My Creative Philosophy
Sound is more than just an element of storytelling—it’s the emotional undercurrent that brings a scene to life. My approach to post-production audio is rooted in clarity, intention, and respect for the creative vision of every project. Whether I’m recording voiceover, designing immersive soundscapes, or editing dialogue for maximum impact, I believe in delivering clean, purposeful audio that enhances the audience’s connection without ever distracting from it. I’m collaborative by nature, detail-focused by training, and always striving to serve the story through sound.
Intentionality
Every sound choice should serve the story. From ambient textures to subtle Foley, I make sure each layer is there for a reason—either to support emotion, clarify action, or create space. Nothing is random, and silence can be just as powerful as sound.
Collaboration
Post-production is never a solo mission. I work closely with directors, editors, and other creatives to ensure the audio elevates the project’s vision. Clear communication and flexibility are central to my workflow, especially on tight timelines.
Clarity
Whether it’s dialogue, SFX, or music, clarity is king. I prioritize intelligibility in voice and precision in sound placement so nothing feels muddy or overwhelming. Clean, balanced mixes help stories land harder and feel more professional.
Immersion
I aim to build worlds with sound—whether subtle and atmospheric or bold and stylized. Through detailed layering and spatial awareness, I strive to pull the audience deeper into the experience without ever drawing attention away from the narrative.
