Bio

The man behind the mic

Adam Parsons is a location sound mixer specializing in on-set audio for commercial, documentary and broadcast television productions. As a former professional musician, Adam has always had a love for audio on both a creative and technical level. His specific interest in the relationship between sound and picture led him to study film at Ryerson University, where he graduated with a BFA in Image Arts.

Over the last decade, Adam’s work has brought him to the farthest reaches of the globe recording in extremely difficult environments. He has camped the deserts of the northern Uganda, mixed audio among Roma Gypsies throughout Eastern Europe, followed rock legend Chuck Berry around the United States, and sweltered in the coffee bean jungles of South America. During this time Adam has recorded audio for Travel Channel, History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Biography as well as hundreds of broadcast commercial clients.

Among his numerous credits are “Vikings”, “Dangerous Flights”, “BBQ Crawl”, “Restoration Garage”, “Meateater”, “War Story”, “ESPN: E60” as well as several feature documentaries including the award winning “A People Uncounted” and “The Mystery of San Nicandro”. The last feature film he mixed, “Sleeping Giant”, won best Canadian Feature at TIFF 2015 as well as several Cannes and CSA nominations.

The best part of Adam’s job is traveling to new environments and embarking on new experiences. When not on set, he’s often outdoors and is often lucky enough to be able to travel and explore professionally as well as for recreation. In 2017 Adam is flying to Chernobyl, Ukraine to film a documentary about the abandoned structures left behind after the nuclear disaster. It will be a career highlight as well as a new adventure to capture!
