Welcome to The Closing Credits Podcast! I’m your host Kristina
Morss and today, I am joined by supervising sound editor,
re-recording mixer, and sound designer David Acord. He’s worked at
the famed, Skywalker Sound for over 18 years with credits ranging
from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Clone Wars, Guardians of the
Galaxy, and Paul Thomas Anderson films such as The Master, Inherent
Vice, and Phantom Thread. In this episode, we talk about how he got
into sound design, what do all those job titles mean, working with
directors, and why it's important to be a team player.
