Creative Sound Post Production
Welcome to coda audio, the home of sound re-recording mixer Ken Galvin.
With over 30 years experience in sound post production, my passion lies in bringing cinematic worlds to life through immersive, meticulously crafted audio.
I have had the privilege of collaborating with creative teams on a diverse range of award-winning feature films, television dramas, documentaries and factual television for screens, big and small.
About Me
With over 30 years of experience in sound post production, my focus is always on delivering world-class soundscapes across feature films, TV dramas, documentaries and factual TV.
Recognised with an HPA nomination and six Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) awards, my work is driven by a mix of technical precision and creative storytelling. Over the years I’ve collaborated with talented sound teams and acclaimed Irish and international directors on numerous Oscar, BAFTA and MPSE Golden Reel winning and nominated features and shorts.
In the studio, managing ADR and voice recording sessions for high-profile network series and features is second nature. I have worked on complex sessions with seasoned actors, as well as guiding fresh talent through what can sometimes be a daunting process.
Whether it's long-form TV drama series or short-schedule factual production, adaptability is key. I've mixed hundreds of hours of factual, format and lifestyle broadcast shows, including fast-turnaround, same-day transmission projects.
My first love was radio. I started working in local radio while still in school and eventually made my way to RTÉ, splicing tape and wrangling early digital systems. There, I produced radio ads and mixed radio documentaries and TV commercials and promos.
These days, I’m a big podcast fan. I’ve been a jury member for the Irish Podcast Awards on several occasions. Being very aware of the mediums immersive story-telling potential, I can bring a detail-driven approach and polished production values backed by years of big-screen experience, straight to your earbuds.

We have worked with Ken countless times for over 20 years. It has ALWAYS felt the right choice - it’s not just that he’s extraordinarily talented (he is !), it’s not just that he is a calm presence with clients and great company with colleagues (he is !) … But above all it’s because he genuinely cares about doing the best job on the baby that you’ve nursed to the final leg of post production. Give your project the love it deserves: call Ken!
