RICHARD KING - NATP 1988-89

"I began the NATP before I started my Master in Music Degree with a major in Sound recording at McGill University, where I studied to become an audio engineer. Since then I have recorded many film scores, including the Oscar and Grammy winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee) and The Good Shephard (Robert DeNiro). Having an in depth background in film and video gives me a huge advantage when working with audio for video."
