Rory Shea (she/her)

Rory is an NYC-based sound designer and audio technician from Morristown, New Jersey. She graduated from Boston University in December 2025 with a BFA in Sound Design.

She is known for her humor, attention to detail, and ability to create thoughtful, vivid, and sometimes campy designs. A fluffy friend or two is sure to be found at her tech table or console (see left)!

Rory is comfortable in QLab, Vectorworks, ProTools, Logic, Dante Network Controller, TheatreMix and line-by-line mixing on digital and analog mixing desks.

Outside of work, she enjoys karaoke, board games, playing the drums, and petting as many dogs as possible.

You can follow her on freesound.org for the latest and greatest in free sounds.
