WASHINGTON, D.C. -- NAB Show New York will uncover the meticulous and innovative work of Foley artists in bringing to life everyday soundscapes for a distinctive on-screen effect. The team behind FX’s “Fosse/Verdon,” which garnered 4 Emmy Awards and 17 nominations, will participate in a discussion on Wednesday, October 16. NAB Show New York is held October 16-17 at the Javits Convention Center.
The show’s Foley team, responsible for mimicking the patter of footsteps, the swish of costumes and the creak of floors, will offer insight on their craft in the session, “All About Fosse.” Post Magazine Editor in Chief Linda Romanello will moderate the discussion between Alchemy Post Sound Lead Foley Artist Leslie Bloome, Lead Foley Mixer Ryan Collison and Foley Artist Joanna Fang.
“Foley sounds add depth to film and assist in further immersing audiences into the experience,” said NAB Executive Vice President of Conventions and Business Operations Chris Brown. “This unique session will reveal the unexpected methods behind creating enhanced ambient sound effects and the overall postproduction procedure that bring motion pictures to life.”
Leslie Bloome has worked as an independent Foley Artist for nearly 30 years at many of the industry’s premier Foley stages, including Sony Picture Studios and The Saul Zaentz Center. Accumulating over 400 feature film, TV, animation and gaming credits, Bloome has been nominated for several MPSE Awards and won an Emmy Award for his work on “Cartel Land.” Leslie also performs live theatrical Foley, including a sketch on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

His credits include “Midnight in Paris,” “Chicago,” “The Wire” and “The Wrestler,” among others. Previously, Collison worked as Foley mixer at Sound One in New York City.

In 2016, she was recognized by the Television Academy as the first openly transgender woman of color to win a Primetime Emmy for her sound work on A&E’s “Cartel Land.”
