Sound Designer, Commercial Spot (Volunteer)

A punchy, high-energy commercial spot for an independent production is seeking a Sound Designer to bring its sonic world to life. This project blends urban grit with a touch of surrealism, focusing on a new lifestyle brand. It's a great opportunity to expand your portfolio with creative soundscapes and build connections within the Chicago film community. You'll be responsible for creating, sourcing, and implementing all sound effects, Foley, and ambient elements for the 60-second commercial. This includes collaborating with the editor and re-recording mixer to ensure all sonic elements complement the visual narrative and final mix. We're open to all experience levels, from emerging talents to seasoned pros looking for a passion project. The ideal candidate will have their own sound design software and access to a decent sound library. A reel or examples of previous sound design work are required for consideration. Post-production is scheduled for October 2026, with an estimated commitment of 3-4 weeks, flexible hours. While this is a volunteer position, we offer a collaborative environment, a fantastic crew, and a credit on a project that will make some noise.
