Ever wondered how they make the sound effects we hear in video games? Meet Joanna Fang, foley artist for PlayStation Studios and master at creating sounds for movies and video games like God of War: Ragnarok.

She didn’t use coconuts for the horses?

This is extremely cool, and they are extremely talented. Awesome
Joanne spotted
To have not only the knowledge on material composition to produce sound, but also notice how a person moves in heels is peak!
Wait is that how walking on snow sound?
She ate the prop.
Shes eating the props
What a cool job
Thanks for being awesome and upgrading games by far for us ❤
This looks like my bedroom, I guess I can start a foley studio 😀
Bot suprised it takes a mental disorder to do this stuff
Well now I want a Foley studio
This is just …… a TOP LEVEL of foley sound design ! Wow
What is a good starter microphone to get into foley?
This gives me so much hope! I’ve always wanted to make a sound library of my own sound effects but always put off the idea as silly for some reason! There’s no better feeling in the world than to be able to sit in a quiet environment and not only listen, but study the nature of the sound of an object, analyze it and then correlate that sound with an action!
Do you really not know how many people have done the same thing before her, or are you just pretending? At least check out Robert Dudzic.
It’s not good that you’re using his talents to gaslight people into believing his is a women! Just stop it.
This is so effing cool
I used to dream of doing this.
