Chris Burt is an Auckland-based sound designer.

Since setting up his own studio The Inside Track in 1992, Burt has worked on dozens of projects — and won awards for his sound work on everything from In My Father's Den to TV movies Siege and Jean.

“We’re just trying to help tell a story, which is why I see sound designing as an art rather than a technical exercise. Sure we do technical things to get there but ultimately we’re enhancing the story and the drama.”
