Richard Gott

I’m a freelance location sound recordist based in Wales, with nearly a decade of experience working on observational documentary, current affairs and corporate productions.

I’m a member of BECTU, and an associate member of the Institute of Broadcast Sound. I hold an NVQX3 certificate in Health and Safety, I’m CRB checked (Criminal Records Bureau), I have public liability insurance, I hold a journalist visa for the USA, valid passport, full UK driving licence and I’m jabbed up to the eyeballs for travel to other parts of the globe! I have a basic level of conversational Welsh and fit in easily to any team. To help production companies comply with data protection law, I always securely shred printed schedules once they have served their purpose.

I’m available for broadcast or corporate productions and can work ‘as based’ from North Wales (Caernarfon), Mid Wales (Machynlleth) and South Wales (Cardiff/Swansea), making work across Wales, North West of England (Liverpool, Manchester), Birmingham and the Midlands down to Bristol, hassle-free. SEE LOCATION MAP ABOVE. I also have places to stay in (and reason to visit) London and Southampton.

My location recording kit comprises: SQN 4S mixer, Sennheiser MKH60, MKH30 for MS stereo, MKH 816T, Beyer M58 stick mic with radio link if required and 2xMicron Explorer radio mic kits with Tram laveliers. Extra bits of kit can easily be hired in. CONTACT ME FOR MY RATECARD.

I have experience of working in the following locations abroad: USA (New York and Wichita), China (Beijing), Brazil, Senegal (Dakar), Spain (Madrid and Seville), Russia (Moscow), Poland (Rudnik Nad Sanem and Krakow) Turkey (Istanbul and Cappadocia), Macedonia (Skopje and Ochrid).
