In this episode, Sound Designer & Re-Recording Mixer Kunal Rajan takes us inside the sonic backbone of cinema — the craft audiences never see, but always feel.
From designing emotion and silence to handling high-pressure mixes before release, Kunal breaks down the art and engineering behind film sound at the world’s highest levels.

This conversation explores:
• What a sound designer truly creates
• Why “sound engineer” is a multi-speciality umbrella
• His journey through Chennai, Singapore & Hollywood
• How indie horror shaped his early filmography
• Sound design as the final creative step before theatres
• Why major films need months of dedicated sound work
• Sound as emotion, silence as power
• OTT vs Theatrical mixes — loudness, dynamic range & listening spaces
• AI in sound (including recreating Vivek sir’s voice for Indian 2)
• Blending Indian loudness culture with Hollywood subtlety
• Working with Kamal Haasan, Atlee, Jon M. Chu & Karthik Subbaraj
• Practical advice for creators on mics, rooms & sound libraries

A deep dive into the invisible craft that shapes storytelling.
For sound professionals, filmmakers, and anyone who wants to understand how cinema truly “sounds.”
