StretchLearn Course
From a celery-stalk bone-crunch to a licensed effects pack, learn the working foley artist's full pipeline.
Course Overview
This hands-on course teaches the craft of foley and custom sound-effects design from the ground up, using gear and props you can source for under a few hundred dollars. You will run spotting sessions, perform the three foley categories (footsteps, moves, specifics) in sync to picture, and clean recordings in a DAW. By the end you will have a metadata-tagged personal SFX library and a licensing-ready effects pack.
