SUPERVISing sound editor/RE-RECORDING MIXER/SOUND DESIGNER
“Crafting Sound That Tells A Story”
A very talented multi-instrumentalist with expertise in guitar, drums, piano, and the trumpet, by the age of 19, Daniel McNamara inked a record deal with Next Generation Music LLC, collaborating with acclaimed music producer and former president of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Recording Academy, David Ivory. In 2014, Daniel began venturing into work as a sound editor and designer for his entrepreneurship, Sound Divers. Daniel's shift towards post-production audio work led him to enroll at Los Angeles Film School, where as a student, he was accepted by The Recording Academy for its prestigious Academy Gold program as an intern in its Production Sound track. Daniel's impressive talents caught the eye of Sony Pictures Entertainment, which quickly brought him aboard their post-production audio team where he has flourished ever since and worked on such notable projects as ABC's long-running drama series The Good Doctor and Sony's blockbuster animated feature, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the latter of which won Daniel his first Golden Reel Award.

TESTIMONIALS
Rob Getty (Sound Supervisor) - Young Love (HBO MAX)
It was a real pleasure working with Dan. We had very little time for the sound edit, but Dan crafted a lush soundscape for the project. He created multiple original sounds for the show based on the spotting notes. Dan has as an excellent understanding of sound effects and how to support the story with out drawing unnecessary attention to the sounds he creates. Not only does Dan grasp the fundamentals of supporting the story with sound, but his exuberance and general positive personality makes it a pleasure to work with him.
