about

About Me

My name is Salvador Galante, and I am an aspiring sound designer focused on foley, audio editing, and sound creation for games, films, and video content. In June 2026, I completed my Audiovisual and Multimedia bachelor's degree at Escola Superior de Comunicação Social, where I developed skills in audio production, audiovisual workflows, 3D, and creative multimedia projects.

I enjoy working with recorded audio and sound libraries to create immersive and impactful sound, as well as editing and shaping audio to better support visual storytelling.

I have experience using Reaper as my main DAW, along with basic knowledge of Pro Tools. I also have experience with 3D modeling in Blender. In addition, I am currently learning Wwise and MetaSounds/Blueprints in Unreal Engine to further develop my skills in interactive audio and game sound design.

My projects include sound redesigns, audio post-production work, voice recordings, and sound editing exercises. I have also worked as a boom operator on academic short film projects. In my work, I always aim to improve clarity, detail, and overall audio quality while continuing to develop my skills and explore new techniques as a sound designer.

What I do

From redesigning game and film audio to recording on-set sound. Here's how I work.

Sound Redesign

Recreating and redesigning audio for games and film trailers from scratch, using synthesis, libraries and processing to match the visual and sonic identity of each project.

Foley & SFX

Creating original foley sounds and custom SFX using recorded audio, libraries and synthesis. Focused on clarity, realism and impact in every detail.

Audio Post-Production

Editing and shaping audio to support visual content — dialogue editing, SFX layering, filtering, pitch shifting and mixing for film and video.

Boom Operator

On-set audio capture for academic short films, ensuring clear dialogue and clean sound recordings throughout production.

Voice Recording & Editing

Recording and editing voice performances to enhance their expressive and emotional qualities, adapting tone and delivery to match narrative and atmosphere.

3D Modelling

Basic experience with Blender for 3D modelling, complementing audio work with an understanding of visual production pipelines.

Short Films: Boom Operator

Academic Short Film

Boom Operator & Video Editor · DAW: DaVinci Resolve

Film

Worked as boom operator and video editor on this academic short film. Captured on-set audio to ensure clear dialogue and clean sound recording, and later edited the video into the final cut.

A short film about two friends waiting for another to join them for sushi. When she arrives late, they watch tutorials on how to eat sushi properly — until the food turns out to be very spicy, shifting the tone into something more tense and unsettling.

Academic Short Film

Boom Operator & Audio Editing · DAW: DaVinci Resolve

Film

Worked as boom operator and assisted with post-production audio editing. Captured on-set audio ensuring clean dialogue throughout production.

A short film about an elderly man recalling memories of his youth, inspired by the poem "O Recreio". Themes of nostalgia, time and childhood.

Voice Recording

O Quinto Império: Fernando Pessoa

Voice Recording & Audio Editing · DAW: Pro Tools

Voice

Recorded a voice performance of Fernando Pessoa's poem "O Quinto Império", adapting it into an emotional and immersive audio experience. The recording was edited and shaped to enhance its expressive and epic qualities, reflecting the tone and themes of the poem.

3d work

3D Projects

Academic 3D modelling and animation projects developed in Blender.

Blender 3D (Academic)

Animation of a LowPoly City

3D Modelling & Animation · Blender

This 3D project was developed with the goal of creating an animation and building a low-poly city. Throughout the process, all the assets were created by us, including the buildings, objects, and different environment elements, allowing us to develop our skills in 3D modeling, composition, and design. The project also aimed to explore the creation of visually simple yet detailed environments, using the low-poly aesthetic to give identity and consistency to the final animation.

Some of the assets

Realistic Microphone 3D Modeling Project

3D Modelling · Blender

This project was developed with the objective of recreating a real-life object as realistically as possible using 3D modeling techniques. The main focus was on achieving accurate details, textures, lighting, and proportions in order to make the object closely resemble its real-world version. For this project, I chose to create a microphone, modeling each part to capture its realistic appearance and overall design.

Kitchen Recreation Project

Interior 3D Modelling · Blender

This project was developed with the objective of recreating a real space from our own home in 3D while maintaining as much realism as possible. I chose to recreate my kitchen, focusing on accurate proportions, lighting, materials, and details to make the environment closely resemble the real-life space. The project allowed me to improve my skills in interior modeling, texturing, and realistic scene composition.

Result

3D Animation Showreel Project

Animation · Blender

This project consisted of creating a set of animations and combining them into a showreel. The goal was to demonstrate a variety of 3D skills within a single final presentation. The showreel included character animation, object integration into real video footage, particle systems, and node-based workflows.
