About Sound Recordist Henri Rapp

Production Sound Recordist Henri Rapp

I’m Henri Rapp, a Cleveland Ohio based production sound mixer and sound recordist for TV, Film, & commercial video productions. Ultimately I believe my job as a Sound Recordist is all about capturing performances; Whether that’s a documentary interview, comedian on stage, a musical performance, or actors in a narrative film…..it’s all about capturing those moments.

 

Before coming into the world of video production I initially got my start in a commercial recording studio producing music and doing audio post-production. This experience still shapes the way I approach audio today. Now having more than a decade of professional experience as a sound engineer, I ensure the job gets done right the first time. When you hire me, you can expect quality through experience coupled with an extensive knowledge base & top tier equipment. I love unique projects and the challenges that come with them. Let’s discuss the unique needs of your production today!

I believe my past work as a production sound mixer speaks for itself and shows a passion for quality work, knowledge & education on recording techniques, and the ability to integrate into complex workflows. Having experience in nearly every production style as well as a background in a commercial recording studio environment producing music and doing audio post, this experience informs the how I fundamentally approach each production. Nothing is more rewarding than the projects with unique requirements & the challenges that come with them.

Ultimately I let my work speak for itself. Here’s a selection of projects with largely different workflows:
