Marc Carlton Audio

Hi! Thanks for visiting.  I’m a free-lance sound artist and audio engineer originally from the East Coast.  Between working both in-house and freelance I’ve handled a multitude of audio responsibilities, including sound recordist, sound designer, composer, mix engineer, voice director, and audio producer.  I’ve contributed to a wide range of projects, including video games like the Guitar Hero franchise, several Wii, iOS and PC titles, broadcast tv programs on PBS, and several short films including an official selection at both the Cannes Film Festival and the Slam Dance Film Festival.

Check out my blog!

The below video demo reel is a short compilation of several sample games and films I’ve produced audio for over the past few years.
