Job description

Seeking a talented Sound Designer for an upcoming independent music video project in Nashville. This is a 1-2 day project, likely focused on post-production sound work in November 2026, with a rate of $500-800 per day. The music video is for an indie pop artist, featuring a dreamy, slightly surreal narrative. We're looking for atmospheric soundscapes and creative foley work to enhance the visual storytelling, moving beyond just mixing the song. We want the sound to feel integral to the world we're building, rather than just a layer on top. Key responsibilities include creating original sound effects, designing atmospheric elements, and mixing all audio components (dialogue, music, sound effects) to achieve a cohesive and impactful final track. Candidates should have their own professional sound design software and access to a library of high-quality sound effects. Experience with music video projects or narrative shorts is a plus, but we're open to all levels of experience if your reel demonstrates creativity and a strong ear. Please share your reel or a portfolio of your best sound design work. We're looking for someone who can bring a unique sonic vision to this project. We'll provide the final mixed music track and all necessary visual edits.
