About James Bretz
Sound editor | AuddityLLC | USA | PennsylvaniaI’ve worked and studied around audio for about 15 years, starting as an apprentice at a recording studio in Buffalo, NY. After many travels I settled into sound editing for picture in 2009 for P-51 Pictures in Bellingham, WA. Here I’ve remained working with a trusted crew at P-51 and starting freelance work under my company name Auddity. I’ve had an interest in sound from a very young age. I enjoyed sitting in quiet trying locate and determine what I was hearing from far away. I’ve also enjoyed unique mixing techniques and instrumental tones in music. I enjoy creating soundscapes to motion picture or animation as a way to enhance the viewers experience. I look forward to working on projects that allow a creative challenge. -Running Nuendo-
