"Sefi Carmel is one of the finest sound engineers I've had the privilege of working with. He is a brilliant musician with an amazing ear--but most importantly, he's a joy to work with. He's always game for a new idea, and always good for a laugh."
Ryan Cunningham
Vice President, Creative
"When we were creating the film Legacy of Lies, we had to switch between three different sound studios until we found Sefi. Very few people have the skill to create Foley and sound design for fight scenes and action, especially when it involves sparring partners with bare torsos. Working with the details, even capturing the sound of body impacts during a fight, is an art. When Sefi crafted our sound design, the entire action sequence was transformed with new textures, elevating the film to a completely new level in sound quality. I also want to highlight the speed of their work. With our tight deadlines, the studio managed to deliver on time, and the quality control for Lionsgate was approved on the first pass. I highly recommend Sefi. It's not about the amount of equipment but the mastery of the team."

"I wanted to drop you a brief but sincere couple of lines of thanks for all the hard work you put into making the music behind Economy Gastronomy such a success. Despite having a new brief thrown at you seemingly every other week you behaved always with courtesy and professionalism. And you really nailed it. The music is outstanding. It was wonderful to have your talents on the team. It goes without saying, that when I next need the right tunes, you will be the first person I will call."
Paul Tasker
Series Producer
"This is the best music this channel has ever had!"

"I am over the moon with the music you have written for “The Shadow”. It adds a million dollars of production value to the film."

"As a producer, I have had the privilege of working with Sefi Carmel in the role of Sound supervisor for the past four years. Throughout this time we have worked on a number of projects, both live and pre recorded. I have found Sefi to be diligent to the extreme, with a willingness to work long and irregular hours whilst ensuring precise attention to detail. His creativity knows no bounds and his ability to work within programme briefs and budgets should be commended. Sefi's diplomacy, strong leadership and excellent communication skills ensure that work is completed logically and on time. He has also demonstrated an extensive knowledge of equipment and emerging technologies, which have helped maintain the highest broadcast standards and proven invaluable in emergency situations.If you need a Sound Supervisor, who is eminently capable, a pleasure to work with and a creative tour de force - then Sefi Carmel should be your first call."

"Sefi Carmel is an artist of sound. A person who truly knows his craft and is able through the sound design to capture the essence and the heart of a film. His integrity and commitment to projects is second to none whilst his deep knowledge and understanding of sound makes his work masterpieces. Sefi is a humble and enjoyable person to work closely with and I would hope to work with him on my future projects as he won 2 awards for the work he did on Ahlaam. A true maverick in Sound Design."
Mohamed El Daradji

"Sefi is a master of all things audio. I have had the pleasure of working with Sefi for over five years at Steam Motion & Sound. His musical knowledge is second-to-none and his ability to create beautiful scores and design immersive soundscapes never ceases to amaze. As well as his technical and musical skills, he's also great fun to work and socialise with and he's a good friend who will always go out of his way to help you. Highly recommended."

"In my roll as a Senior Technical Director at BSkyB I have had the pleasure of working with Sefi Carmel for the past five years. Over that time Sefi has demonstrated his exacting skills with live sound production, audio QC, sound editing, music bed creation and sound effects building. Through out this time his level of professionalism has been one of the corner stones of our Sound Dept. His knowledge and 'ear' have enabled us to push forward with our programmes and sound design. It has been a pleasure to work along side him on the numerous programmes and projects commissioned here. Sefi would be an incredibly strong asset for any live or post production company and have no hesitation in giving him the very highest recommendation."
