Location Sound Recordist Scotland, UK

Douglas Rorrison

I am a Scottish location sound recordist/mixer based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

I own and maintain my own industry standard sound recording kit. I provide location sound for a range of projects, be it feature film, large events, or corporate/commercial content.

With a degree in Sound Design from Edinburgh Napier University, I have the skills to be a part of your project from the pre-production to the final mix.

“Douglas is a trusted collaborator whose work in the location sound department is consistently reliable and of high quality.

What sets Douglas apart is his confidence in his craft and his willingness to speak up when it matters—something we value greatly in a team member.

He’s respectful, professional, and, most importantly, a genuinely nice person who’s easy to get along with on and off set.

We recommend Douglas without hesitation and continue to do so to others looking for a dependable and skilled sound recordist.”

-Kyle McGuinness, Production Hoose

“After only a handful of shoots with Douglas, I can confidently say this: I love working with him. Not to put too fine a point on it, he is exactly what I need and want in a sound professional. He is friendly, professional, adaptable, and highly collaborative. Most importantly, his work sounds excellent too.

Personally I can’t wait to have him on the next shoot I can, as it’s always a relief when sound is easy and in safe hands.”

-Mike Webster, DoP

Douglas worked as my A1 on almost 2yrs worth of projects for clients ranging from BrewDog (and ancillary brands) to CrowdCube, ABC News and countless internal projects. He can work in any setting, from on-location wilderness shoots to black tie events.

As a sound department crew member, there’s nothing you can’t ask him to help out with and he has my full endorsement.”

-Jared Cotton, Redtail Media
