THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE SOUND
Meet Tiny du Preez.
The specialist experience behind The Padded Room.
Tiny began his professional sound engineering career in 1991, working across television production, recording and post-production before moving into commercial broadcast studios including Urban Brew and Urban Rhythm Factory.
His career spans sound design, dialogue, Foley, ADR, final mixing and broadcast production, with contributions to recognised South African films, television dramas and factual entertainment. Experience on productions such as The River, Smoke & Mirrors and other daily television shows has given him a practical understanding of demanding production schedules and the importance of consistent sound from episode to episode. His background also includes voice recording, directing voice artists and coordinating studio schedules during busy broadcast periods. Through The Padded Room, he continues to collaborate with production teams and specialist sound facilities on film and television projects.
