1. Foley Artists

.
A Foley artist is responsible for adding sound effects to the film after production. This includes things like glass shattering, paper crinkling, and floorboards creaking. They watch the footage and determine which sound effects to add, making the film's sound effects more natural and in sync with what is seen on the screen.

2. Sound Designers

.
Sound Designers are brought in to work with the director during the planning of a film. They help to create a thematically consistent soundtrack that meets the needs of the film. As it is a difficult task to maintain a coherent and fixed sound over the course of a story, sound designers play an important role in making sure the soundtrack is cohesive and effective.

3. Sound Editors

.
Sound editors are essential for creating a great soundtrack. They are the ones responsible for synchronizing all of the audio elements into the picture, such as dialog, Foley, and general effects. After all of the elements are matched up, the sound editor brings it all together and sends it to the re-recording engineer for a final level check.

4. Field Recordists

.
Field Recording and Boom Operators also play an important role in audio post-production. These music technicians help the production sound mixer by capturing sound, operating the boom mic and preparing and positioning radio or clip microphones. They are also responsible for setting up mics in the best positions, so that the rest of the audio post-production team can capture the highest quality dialogue and sound effects. When done correctly, this is one of the most important audio post-production jobs of the bunch. Starting out with high-quality sound means saving costs when it comes to re-recording.
