Sound Designer of the Year for Simon Baker

USA - The UK's Simon Baker, of London-based theatre sound specialist Autograph Sound Recording, won the Sound Designer of the Year award at the recent 2003 LDI show in Orlando, Florida. A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Baker spent three years as sound supervisor at the Royal National Theatre before joining Autograph in 1999. Since arriving at London's leading sound design and equipment supply company, Simon has quickly risen to become one of the world's most highly respected sound designers. Among other productions, he recently co-designed the West End smash Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Autograph chairman Andrew Bruce and is currently co-designer on Raymond Gubbay's productions of Peter Pan and Pirates of Penzance at the Savoy Theatre, along with Autograph's managing director and fellow sound designer, Terry Jardine.
