Hello.

I’m Shane O’Connell, a Brooklyn-based sound designer, re-recording mixer, and all-around audio problem solver. For more than a decade I’ve created immersive and compelling sound for projects ranging from short films and national ad campaigns to award-winning podcasts.

​

I’m best known for the acclaimed sci-fi comedy podcast Mission to Zyxx, included on Vulture’s list of “100 Great Podcasts Worth Listening To.” I serve as sound designer, co-creator, and co-producer on that series and on its forthcoming spin-off, The Young Old Derf Chronicles, which won the 2025 Tribeca Festival Fiction Audio Storytelling Award. The same narrative instincts, meticulous sound design, and fluency with formats from stereo and surround to ambisonics guide every project I take on for picture and podcast alike.​
