For many Fringe artists, the focus is on script, staging, and performance. But there is another tool that can elevate your show and surprise your audience: sound. Foley artistry, the live creation of sound effects using everyday objects, can transform a performance, adding dimension and energy in ways that lighting or props alone cannot achieve.

“The best work is being done on Fringe stages. You can’t get more inventive, you can’t get more raw, and it’s everything that pushes my theatrical buttons,” Britt Lafied, SoHo Playhouse Managing Director.

Bringing a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is not just about showcasing creativity; it also involves detailed planning and teamwork. For independent artists used to managing everything themselves, Edinburgh can feel quite challenging.
