TESTIMONIALS
Alumni Success Stories
"ASE made the
difference"
"ASE taught me all the skills I needed to get to where I am today, and with the addition of my Pro Tools qualification, I was a step ahead of the rest.
I have recorded ADR for productions such as Game Of Thrones, Tomb Raider, West World, Alien, Black Sails and Hannibal, to name but a few.
I have won 2 Emmys for my work on Black Sails and have recently been nominated for a CAS
award for West World."

"A Winning
Career Start"
"My time at ASE will always be treasured, between my fellow students and the lecturers, the impact it had on my career was massive.
Fast forward a couple of years, I now run own successful audio post production recording studio based in Northcliff, Johannesburg, Back Beat Productions. Iโve done work for ABSA, Chicken Licken, Vodacom, TED Talks, Standard Bank, USN, and VW to name but a few. All thanks to ASE!"

"Operate with
confidence"
โIโve had the privilege of working on a lot of projects which involved me mixing for the likes of South Africaโs greatest musicians; Amanda Black, Kelly Khumalo, Lady Zamar and the late Oliver Mutukudzi.
All this happened after enrolling at The Academy of Sound Engineering and getting the foundation and guidance to make it to where I am now. Being around lecturers like Anderson โMickeyโ Mabitsela and Cristo Hattingh has helped me to operate with confidence and start my own company"
