Sound Designer | Foley Artist | Audio Mixer
Based in Vancouver, BC
About
Steven Tsia is a Vancouver-based sound designer for narrative and documentary film, covering the full post-production pipeline from dialogue editing and foley to the final mix.
He grew up with a camera in his hands and discovered how much sound shapes the emotion on screen. That understanding led him to sound design, where he crafts sonic narratives that move audiences and deepen the director's visual storytelling.
Recent credits include foley for the horror feature Knight Terror and sound design for the short film Strain. He brings the same attention to the craft whether working independently or within a full production team.
Steven is available for projects in Vancouver and remotely, and looks forward to hearing about yours.
DEPTHS is a project by a multi-disciplinary, multi-generational, and multi-cultural team of artists under the collective Audio Essentia. This project took 4 months of learning new techniques, teamwork, and sleepless nights to bring this 35-speaker audiovisual experience to audiences.
Throughout this project, I learned that there is always a solution to a problem, no matter how tight the deadline may be - Our team faced many bugs, setup changes, and new techniques/softwares to learn (such as Qlab). No matter how challenging the situation became, we found creative/obscure ways to overcome each obstacle.
The project ran at LOBE Studios as a solo showing, and returned for festival runs including IndieFest in Vancouver, BC. We are currently in discussion to bring the project to other venues in Canada with revised visuals and sounds.
