Letter to the producer

Dear Producer/Studio Team,
In today’s film landscape, audiences expect more than great visuals—they expect total immersion. Dolby Atmos has become the industry benchmark for delivering that experience. What you need is not just someone who can use the technology, but someone who understands how to translate your story into a three-dimensional sound narrative that elevates the entire film.

That’s where I come in.
I Don’t Just Mix in Atmos—I Tell Stories With It
Atmos is far more than overhead speakers. It’s a storytelling tool.
I design mixes that:

Guide the audience’s attention
⦁ Support emotional beats
⦁ Enhance pacing and tension
⦁ Transform environments into characters of their own
⦁
Your film becomes bigger, deeper, and more cinematic, without ever distracting from the narrative.

Experience That Guarantees Translation Everywhere
One of the biggest challenges in Atmos mixing is ensuring the mix translates properly across:
⦁ Theatrical Atmos rooms
⦁ Home theater systems
⦁ Streaming platform renderers
⦁ Soundbars
⦁ Headphones (binaural downmix)
⦁
I specialize in creating mixes that retain their impact and clarity on every playback format, ensuring your film sounds its best everywhere your audience experiences it.

Technical Precision Meets Creative Sensibility
Producers hire me because I bring the best of both worlds:
Technical mastery
⦁ Dolby Atmos Renderer & Production Suite
⦁ Pro Tools HD, Nuendo, and Resolve workflows
⦁ Spatial object automation
⦁ QC in multi-speaker and binaural formats
⦁ Meticulous room calibration practices

Creative instincts
⦁ Dynamic, emotionally driven sound placement
⦁ Clear, warm dialogue—even in complex scenes
⦁ Balanced worlds where sound isn’t overwhelming, but enveloping

The result is sound that is immersive but never gimmicky, powerful but always serving the film.

I Save You Time, Fix Problems Early, and Elevate Your Final Mix
I work efficiently and collaboratively with:
⦁ Directors
⦁ Picture editors
⦁ Supervising sound editors
⦁ Composers and music departments
⦁ VFX teams

I identify sound issues early, streamline the workflow, and deliver mixes that often require fewer revisions, because the creative intent is honored from the start.

Your Film Deserves the Atmos Experience It Was Meant to Have
If your goal is to create a film that:
⦁ Stands out in theaters
⦁ Competes with top streaming originals
⦁ Wins awards for sound
⦁ Leaves audiences talking about “that moment”
⦁
…then you need an Atmos engineer who treats sound like a storytelling partner—not an afterthought.
I would love the opportunity to bring that level of detail, imagination, and technical excellence to your project.
Let’s make your film unforgettable.

Sincerely,
Joshua Gonzales
Sound Designer and Dolby Atmos Sound Engineer
