There is a difference between sound mixers and sound editors - sound editors create sound effects while sound mixers determine how to best use and balance those effects. A foley artist physically creates replacement sound effects for films using props. To become a foley artist requires qualifications like a degree in arts or music as well as technical skills in sound recording, postproduction, and manipulating sound for video. Personal skills needed include visual and listening abilities, working well under pressure, communication, organization, and handling deadlines.
