Katie Waters is a Foley Artist who enhances stories by performing the everyday sounds you hear in TV shows, movies, podcasts and video games. She captures live audio as she creates many different elements in a soundscape to perfectly match what’s happening on screen - everything from the sound of someone pouring water into a glass, walking down a hallway in high heels or hitting a tennis ball.
Katie says that when she starts a project, it's necessary to immerse herself into the world the characters are living in, in order to deliver the best sound - sliding it in as a layer of the soundtrack.
She’s an active member of the Motion Picture Sound Editors organization and is a full-time Foley artist at Noisefloor, a post-production audio facility in Chicago.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Katie about how she discovered the art of Foley, the process of finding the right items and props to create the sounds she needs, and the most challenging, satisfying, weird and fun sound projects she’s worked on to date.
