Techniques for Creating Sound Effects

Foli Artists use a variety of techniques to create custom sound effects for TV shows, movies, and video games. Some sounds are created using body movements like sniffing or blowing into a microphone, while others require the use of props. The Foli stage is equipped with a wide range of objects in the prop room, such as suitcases, chains, wheelchairs, and even hand grenades. However, not all sounds can be replicated with props, so Foli Artists get creative by using unexpected objects like celery for bone-crunching sounds and feather dusters for bird wings.
