Production Sound Mixer

Alex O'Meara

Grand Rapids, MI · Available for regional & national productions

About

Production sound should help the set move smoothly and make the story feel natural. I bring a calm, practical approach to each shoot, with the gear and preparation needed to capture clean dialogue in changing locations.

I work across narrative, documentary, commercial and corporate projects with a focus on dependable tracks that hold up in post.

Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I support productions throughout West Michigan and travel across the Midwest when the project calls for it.
