TV sound editors roundtable: ‘Adolescence' and ‘Secret Level'
As Adolescence supervising sound editor James Drake and Secret Level supervising sound editor Matt Yocum tell it during our Meet the Experts: TV Sound panel, their work might be intrinsic to what we experience on screen, but they have a confession. 'It's not a very glamorous job,' says Drake. (Watch the full panel above. Click each person's name to see their individual discussion.) The BAFTA nominee for Boiling Point elaborates, 'A lot of people don't realize that so much of what they hear is done by people alone in little studios, hidden away in the dark.' Even if the everyday realities of a sound editor's career are not as ritzy as other Hollywood roles, he shares, 'There are a lot of people who do the job who care intrinsically about the sound' and 'use sound to engage the audience and help tell the story.'

How Zoe Saldaña helped shape Pixar's upcoming film 'Elio' Yocum emphasizes that many viewers don't realize that sound editors do more than incorporate production sounds from principal photography into the final edit. Rather, they often must 'come up with sounds for sometimes these fantastical things and other times things that are more based in reality.' The Emmy winner for The Last of Us provides an example of the popular club scenes in TV shows and film to reveal, 'There was no sound during any of that, just the two main characters talking,' meaning the music, ambient noise from the bar, and beyond were all created and added after the fact. Both sound editors have worked on dozens of film and television projects and say that they tremendously enjoy getting to revisit series after some time away. 'You spend a lot of time over the course of a project getting intimately familiar with the workings of whatever the universe is that you're currently in, and you're a part of shaping the logic and the approach and the sonic character and the emotion,' and 'when you get to come back to something in a repeat sense,' you get to 'expand on those ideas,' describes Yocum. Drake concurs and stresses that sound editors bring their own life experiences and entertainment consumption to these projects, especially shows that unfold over years. He says that when you get to return to a series for a second installment of episodes, 'Your life has changed, and there's new plug-ins around, and you've heard new shows or films and they've given you a little spark of excitement. … You're experiencing new things as you go along.' Watch the full panel above to hear Drake and Yocum discuss the moment in their lives in which they both knew they wanted to become sound editors and their favorite part of the sound editing prep process.

‘Arcane' writer Amanda Overton describes reworking the end of season one so that a second season could be allowed to develop
When Arcane was first being mapped out as a series, the initial plan was to only do one season in the Piltover-Zaun region. When the decision was made to do a second season, Amanda Overton and the show's writing team had to do a major rewrite of the last two episodes of that first season. 'The idea was we're gonna get to really dig into what leads up to the war and the build up to the war in Season 2. That decision was made after the writer's room of Season 1 ended and then we came back and we're like, OK, let's write a season two that builds up to the war,' she tells Gold Derby during our recent Meet the Experts: TV Animation panel. Arcane, which can be streamed on Netflix, takes place in the universe of the online multiplayer battle video game League of Legends. The show centers around two cities: the prosperous and ideal city of Piltover and the dilapidated and sleazy undercity of Zaun. As the disturbance between the two places gets more heated, sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) begin becoming aligned on opposing sides of a looming war over differing beliefs and mysterious occurrences. The series picked up the Emmy for Best Animated Program for its first season back in 2022. More from GoldDerby As Joel returns to 'The Last of Us,' cinematographer Catherine Goldschmidt explains what went into killing him off TV Animation roundtable panel: '#1 Happy Family USA,' 'Secret Level,' and 'Arcane' 'Secret Level' creator Tim Miller explains how he gets writers to create short stories based on video and role-playing games The writer's room always knew from the beginning that they wanted the relationship between Vi and Caitlyn to be their OTP (one true pair) couple for the series. But Overton wanted to draw out the establishment of their romantic attraction to make their romance epic. 'You really have to earn that relationship getting together. I think we did things in season one to make that attraction they had to each other explicit. We made that conscious choice to take the entire series as we knew it to get them together so we could feel like they had the same sort of treatment that most couples like that would get.' One of the more difficult things in developing the show was keeping track of all the world-building that a series like this requires. 'It's a huge scope game and it's a game that changes all the time. It's kind of like they're always iterating on the game. It's not just one set story. It's something you always have to keep your pulse on in order to make sure that what they're doing in the game would reflect properly in the show.' This article and video are presented by Netflix.
