Degree apprenticeships aren’t applied for through UCAS. They’re recruited like jobs, and February is peak application season for many employers.

Here’s how the degree apprenticeship application timeline actually works:

September-October

Research begins. Students explore employers, roles, locations, entry requirements, and start building CVs and LinkedIn profiles.

October-November

Preparation phase. Shortlisting opportunities, gaining work experience, practising interviews and assessments.

December-February (NOW)

Peak application period.

Many major employers recruit on a rolling basis and close roles early once assessment centres are full.

February-April

Online tests, assessment centres, interviews.

Offers made quickly.

Spring-Summer

Conditional offers confirmed, contracts issued, and onboarding begins. Often before A‑level exams are finished.

The OneBigNext Degree Apprenticeship Application Roadmap lays this out clearly for students, parents, and schools, showing:

* What should already be in place

* What to focus on right now

A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Career in Foley

A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Career in Foley

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hello! I'm Danny, the resident Foley artist at 344 Audio. If you're reading this, you likely already know what Foley is and are curious about becoming a professional Foley artist. But for those who may be new to this world, here's a quick rundown on what exactly a Foley artist does.

In short, a Foley artist creates sound effects for films using everyday objects and actions to enhance a film's audio experience. Foley is a technique used in post-production, where the artist closely watches scenes and mimics the movements on screen to produce sounds that sync precisely with the visuals.

While that's a straightforward description, there's no substitute for hands-on experience. In this guide, I'll share some insights and lessons I've gathered from my career as a Foley artist here in the UK.

Why Is Foley So Important?

Foley effects are more than just "background noise"; they give depth and realism to scenes, helping audiences immerse themselves in the story. Without Foley, a film can feel flat and lifeless, as many subtle sounds that we expect to hear are missing. Foley adds a layer of authenticity that complements a film's soundtrack.

Getting Started: Building Your Skills and Knowledge

Step 1: Understand the Art of Foley and Define Your Role

To start, it's important to recognize that Foley is about much more than just creating pleasing sounds. Many newcomers confuse Foley with general environmental recording like wind or rain, but true Foley involves "performing" sounds to sync with on-screen actions. It's a mix of performance art and technical skill.

Early in my career, I learned that many people on production teams don't fully understand Foley's unique role. A big part of your job will involve communicating what Foley brings to a project and clarifying its purpose with the production team.

Step 2: Learn the Core Sound Categories in Foley

In Foley, we generally work with several main types of sound effects. Here's a quick overview of the most common Foley sounds:

Footsteps: Different surfaces (like gravel, wood, and snow) convey a lot about a character's movement and mood.

Clothing Rustles: The sounds of fabric moving, whether it's a jacket, dress, or uniform.

Door Sounds: From creaking to slamming, door sounds can be edited in as sound effects but recording them on the Foley stage can be very rewarding.

Weather Interactions: Creating sounds like wind or rain interacting with characters' clothing or the environment.

Impact Sounds: Punches, crashes, and falls are vital for action scenes.

Object Handling: Actions like picking up, setting down, or moving objects like books or tools.

Animal Sounds: For scenes involving animals, Foley artists often create hoofbeats, wing flaps, and other movements.

Water Sounds: From pouring and splashing to footsteps in puddles.

Breaking Objects: The sound of glass shattering or wood cracking can sweeten the sound effects in destruction scenes.

These categories form the foundation of Foley, and mastering them is essential for creating believable soundscapes.

Alongside these sounds, you'll need to develop:

A keen sense of timing and attention to detail

An understanding of how sounds affect emotions

Creativity to improvise and create unique sound effects from everyday objects

Step 3: Develop the Necessary Skills

Sound Design and Audio Editing: Basic sound design is crucial, as Foley artists work closely with sound designers. Familiarity with editing software like Pro Tools is key. In the past, Foley projects involved teams with specific roles (recordist, Foley artists, and editors), but today, Foley artists often handle all aspects-especially on small-budget projects. Being able to record, mix, and edit your own sounds is invaluable.

Timing and Synchronization: Foley artists must match sounds precisely to on-screen movements. Capturing the timing and feel in the performance is what makes a sound believable.

Creativity and Improvisation: Often, you'll need to think on your feet to create convincing sounds with limited resources. Improvising with everyday objects is a must.

Becoming a Foley artist doesn't require formal qualifications, but it does require a blend of technical knowledge, creativity, and adaptability. Here are some of the essential skills to focus on:

Courses and Workshops: At 344 Audio, we offer a week-long Creative Foley Workshop with legendary Foley artist Pete Burgis. It's a rare chance to learn from a seasoned pro who has worked on films like Harry Potter, James Bond, Cinderella, and Aladdin.

Step 4: Pursue Relevant Education and Training

Collaborate with Film Students: Film schools are ideal for finding short films that need Foley work. These projects offer valuable experience and can lead to more opportunities.

Work on Indie Films: Independent filmmakers often need affordable sound designers and Foley artists. Facebook Groups are still a great way to connect with your local filmmaking community..

Create a Foley Reel: As you work on more projects, compile a demo reel showcasing your Foley skills. Focus on variety to demonstrate your range. Foley performance videos are also popular on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where you can show off your personality, performance skills, and recording space.

Although specific degrees aren't required to become a Foley artist, the best way would be to seek out an established Foley artist that is willing to take you under their wing...

Step 5: Build a Portfolio with Independent Projects

Internships and Assistant Roles: Applying for internships, shadowing roles, or assistant positions at sound studios can provide valuable experience and connections. At 344 Audio, we've welcomed aspiring Foley artists and sound designers as interns. Recently, our former intern Hafeed landed a full-time role in game audio!

Freelancing: Once you have experience and a solid portfolio, freelancing can be a great way to work on a variety of projects. Freelancers work on everything from commercials to indie films and need strong networking skills to connect with clients. Industry events, creative communities, and even Facebook groups can be helpful for finding work.

Most Foley artists start by working on independent projects to build a portfolio. Here are some ways to gain experience:

Step 6: Gain Experience in Studios

Many successful Foley artists start as assistants in sound or post-production studios, where they can observe and learn the process.

Final Thoughts: Perseverance Pays Off

Breaking into Foley requires patience, passion, and persistence. Foley artistry is a unique blend of technical craft and performance art, and establishing yourself in this field can be challenging. But with a strong portfolio, a commitment to your craft, and effective networking, you can build a rewarding career.

Launch your career by joining our upcoming cohort in the Creative Foley Workshop or the Audio Post Essentials course. And if you feel ready to dive straight in, don't hesitate to reach out about joining our team-we're always excited to welcome new talent to our team.

Happy foley-ing, and good luck!

I am now 17 and am looking forward to becoming a Volunteer Team Leader for the VPC when I'm 18 and inspiring cadets who may have a similar background to me. It has been great fun and I have made many new friends."

Find out about T Levels from students, teachers, careers leaders, employers and a university representative.

T Levels are new 2 year qualifications that have been designed with employers to give young people a head start towards the careers they want. A T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels and attracts the same UCAS points. They combine classroom work with an extended industry placement to ensure young people gain the knowledge and skills they need to move into skilled work, an apprenticeship or further study.

New challenge, new career, new life

"As an apprentice in the NHS, you do feel you're supported. I've never felt so looked after. I couldn't just go and do a nursing degree, so the apprenticeship gave me that opportunity to get my foot in the door."

My mum found my apprenticeship and I've never looked back

"Being an apprentice has been the best time of my life, I've been able to do things that I'm passionate about. I've been able to meet so many different people. I've built up my confidence. It's been the best experience it could have been."

Earn and learn straight from school

"I found the confidence I needed to take the apprenticeship, because I knew theatre is what I loved and where I wanted to be.There's never really a typical day. There's always different working hours and different people, which is my favourite part of it."

Valuable hands-on experience

"I wasn't a hundred percent sure what I wanted to do after 6th form. Then, my mum showed me an ad in the local paper for an apprenticeship. I want to be earning six figures by the time I'm thirty. And that's the beauty of starting young, it's all possible."
