Foley, Sound Design, Mixing

Tilman Köhler on SoundBetter

From commercials and image films to feature projects, I enjoy building sound worlds that fee

My work focuses on film sound in all its facets — as a Foley artist, sound designer, mixer and music composer, I shape the sonic identity of visual storytelling. From creating detailed, expressive Foley performances to designing immersive soundscapes, composing original scores and balancing complex mixes, I aim to bring depth, clarity, and emotional impact to every project.
