Cla`ris´o`nus: (Latin) a. 1. Having a clear sound.

Thanks for visiting my web site! I'm Charlie Ethridge, a location sound mixer with over ten years of experience mixing sound for television. I specialize in high-definition production, network news, sports, Reality TV, and corporate video. Whether you need sound for a film-style production, a live shot, run & gun, sit-down interviews, a press conference, a commercial, or whatever else might happen in the field or the studio, I'm your man for location sound. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, but I also travel around the United States and abroad. I'm well equipped, prompt, and have a great attitude! I'm set up to be highly capable, flexible, quick, and mobile.

Some examples of the shows and networks that I work for include ABC World News Tonight, NBC Dateline & The Today Show, CBS 60 Minutes & 48 Hours, What Not To Wear, Trading Spaces, Wife Swap, the Biggest Loser, Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Dr. Phil Show, the Speed Channel, NASCAR Angels, ESPN, The Golf Channel, BBC, HGTV, CBC & TSN Canada, NBA Entertainment, and America's Most Wanted. I've done sound at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, inside death row, on the field at the World Series, and out in the desert covered with killer bees. I get the job done!

I'm insured, organized as an LLC, and am a member of the Arizona Production Association, in addition to other organizations. If you want to see my résumé, book me, or talk to me about anything at all, you can call me at 480.688.3882 or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!
