Our Story

Over the last decade, Vancouver Island has become a busy hub for the film and TV industries. Alongside film studios, location services and many other partners, Audio Post VI has grown with the industry, honing our skills and building a deep body of work spanning many aspects of sound recording, editing, and mixing, establishing our facility as a go-to studio for ADR sessions on Vancouver Island.

In addition to our quality of work, our south/central Island location in the Cowichan Valley has drawn clients and projects from Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum, Courtenay, Comox and even Tofino. When in-person sessions are not required, we are available to join your team remotely via Source Connect, Zoom or your method of choice.

Whether short film, full-length feature, episodic television, documentary, podcast or audiobook, sound is a critical and often overlooked aspect of entertainment media production. We are here to help! Over the past decade, we have been working with videographers, directors, authors, and others to bring out the full potential of their productions. Sometimes that’s as simple as providing a clean, clear voice over, narration or ADR recording. Other times, it’s a dialogue edit, sound design or full sound mix for theatrical release or broadcast.

We have extensive experience working with problematic location recordings using the best audio restoration tools available, removing environmental noise and clicks/rustling from lavalier mics, ultimately improving intelligibility and adding clarity and impact to the dialogue. This has proven invaluable to our production partners, many of whom produce TV in the outdoor adventure/docu-reality genre where audio is often captured in challenging environments. Our expertise in this area has won recognition for Best Sound Production from the Outdoor Sportsman Awards and a 2023 Leo Award for our work on Aitamaako’Tamisskapi Natosi: Before The Sun.

We have had the privilege of working on many other Indigenous led projects featuring Hul’qumi’num (Khowutzun), Saulteau, Dene, Inuktitut and Cree languages. These range from children’s music, audiobooks and educational assets to APTN’s highly successful TV series “Moosemeat and Marmalade,” which recently wrapped up its 7th and final season. These projects have been very rewarding on many levels and we hope to be part of future projects with established and emerging First Nations producers and directors.

As a small, independent company, we are happy to take on new clients whether they need a quick voiceover recording session or mixing for an entire series. Please reach out by phone or email to discuss your work and we will be happy to provide an estimate as well as any advice we can offer to help prepare you for sound success!
