Justin made my project come to life! Aside from being extremely easy to work with he understood the vision and sound I was hoping for. We worked remotely which can be difficult for some but he mastered my album to perfection on the first attempt. I now feel completely confident that the songs I put out can compete with major label artists and I have the comfort of knowing I can turn to Justin for any upcoming projects. I'm absolutely in love with his mastering!

I’ve worked with Justin on a number of projects – I can’t speak highly enough about his work!
From sound design to Foley to mixing, his work is Hollywood standard. In fact in my last film I had the chance to work with an Academy-Award winning sound mixer (Dave Van Slyke) and Emmy-nominated composer (Bob Lydecker), and Justin worked seamlessly with them, in charge of all sound design and Foley. We ended up winning the TBUFF festival for Best Picture in large part because the sound design really created the atmosphere for the film.
Since then, I’ve worked with Justin on many other projects – Thank you, Justin!!

Justin is a highly skilled and creative sound designer. He works quickly, but does not sacrifice quality or creativity for speed. For our film 'Cosmetics,' he brought both creative ideas to fill out the sonic world and practical, refined solutions to any issues we encountered. In short, I recommend him highly and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again on future projects.

I will definitely recommend Justin to any fellow filmmakers and creatives who are looking for post audio work. He did a really great job on this project, and I am immensely grateful. I truly appreciate how responsive he was and willing to accommodate my limited budget and resources. He was also a great teacher and taught me a lot about the whole process of audio post-production. I've learned so much during throughout this project and can't wait to apply these lessons to my next film!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Justin Van Hout for game sound design and effects on our
soon to be released IOS game, Bang Goo Frog. Justin was contracted for 15 effects, and he more than
satisfied our expectations. He was excellent when it came to interpreting our descriptions for the kind of
effects we wanted, and more than gracious with any revisions we had. Turn around was very fast, and
he made himself open and available for dialogue about direction and satisfaction. We are so excited to
see our game come to life with the sounds he created!
Justin was a consummate professional, who we would love to work with again. He was very reasonable
with his charge for the work he produced. We would highly recommend him for any sound design and
effects, for games or otherwise.

Justin worked closely with me during the creation of the sound design for the film, and the 3,000 miles between us was never an issue. Great work!

Wow! So improved. Even with what you could do it sounds way better!

This mix sounds absolutely great. You really did a good job refining the dialogue and I
think as a whole the film sounds much more professional. We are very thankful for your
awesome contribution and hopefully this helps the film get in front of more viewers, and
ultimately helps the Fox River.

Justin's audio work was not only fast and professional, but he created a soundscape which brought my entire film together. Will definitely be working with him again.

When I found Justin our short film was in desperate need of someone who had the delicate ears of a princess-wizard and the ferocious knowledge of an audiophile beast. Justin was just that, and more.
With enough research, you can find someone to take good, or at the very least, decent care of your post-audio needs. If you're lucky, you can find someone to do a good or even great job. With luck, I was able to find Justin. However, luck is not the only reason I will absolutely request his audio services in the future. The reason I will call him again, and the reason you should contact him if you're curiously reading this testimonial, is because of his attitude. He accepted our notes, requests, and questions with the grace worthy of Prince next in line for the thrown, and consistently delivered the corrected changes with the speed of a caffeinated scampering lizard. His attention to detail, and skill at fixing some of our straight-out-of-the-garbage audio kept me constantly impressed, and I was humbled by his impressive patience with our onslaught of notes for weeks on end.
His faith in our project, and dedication to showing his best work so it could show ours leaves me eternally grateful for his involvement in The River Bride. After working with him for several weeks I can promise you two things: 1. Justin's consistent, accurate, dedicated and skilled treatment of your project and 2. That he did not pay me to say any of this. I said it because it's true.
We are absolutely in his fan club... even though he loves the Packers.

Justin not only knows how to create amazing sound, he is fast, passionate about his work and knows what he is doing! He has made the episodes sound professional and more engaging than I could have ever imagined. The episodes wouldn't have been this great without him!
