CLIENT
TESTIMONIALS
"Ryan provided sound design and music for our feature film. His sound design is superb, it is everything we wanted and then some. It helped tell the story and added in ways we hadn’t thought about in places. His music is exactly what we were looking for and captured the essence and time period perfectly. One of the easiest collaborations I have had the pleasure of working with. I cannot praise him enough."
PAUL MANN

"Ryan's presence on set and within our team is invaluable. His diligent work ethic and commitment have solidified his indispensable role within our project as head of location and post production audio. Initially we hired him to address challenges within one of our episodes, Ryan adeptly resolved all issues with precision. I highly recommend Ryan for his unwavering reliability and consistent delivery of exceptional results."

"Ryan Kerr records top quality sound plus he's a great guy to work with. He definitely comes recommended."
Deva Smith
Producer at Stramash Films
(PREVIOUSLY AT LS Productions, STV Creative)
"Ryan is a class act on set and in post-production. Always ready to go, never complaining and delivering crisp, quality sound in even the most trying location shoots. His work as sound designer is equally stellar - creative, responsive and collaborative - ‘waiting on sound’ is not a term you can use when he is around. I first worked with him on the set and post of my Neo-western psychological thriller, shot in Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands, and have used him on every project since. Your sound is in great hands with Ryan."
Marii Stoltsen
FREELANCE PRODUCER & PRODUCTION MANAGER
(MENTOR AT CREATIVE MENTOR NETWORK)
"One of the best sound designers I've ever worked with. Ryan was quick, reliable and improved the projects massively, bringing his own unique flair to them. Couldn't recommend enough.”
Kris J. Cummins
PRODUCER & FILMMAKER
bbc social/LITTLE MAN IN A CUP PRODUCTIONS
"Ryan Kerr brings a wealth of experience, relevant references and stylistic approaches to Sound Design, balanced perfectly with an understated, heads-down approach to meet deadlines. His utmost professionalism and adherence to post production workflow and deadlines makes Ryan an asset to any production. I would not hesitate to work with Ryan."
