View Odyssey Foley Effects full features, audio demos, and reviews:

"Much of what constitutes this library are wild sounds that Richard and I recorded because we didn’t have Foley yet. We would usually perform our ‘pre-Foley’ sound effects in acoustic spaces like rooms, halls, or wherever would make them sound most natural and useful in perpetuity across different projects. I wish a library like this was available when we started!” – Mark Mangini

What is Foley? Foley is technically the act of recording sound effects performed in-sync to picture, using various props and surfaces, often on a Foley stage. These are the generic sounds of common items a character might interact with in a scene, or not captured during filming.

In the case of Odyssey Foley Effects, these 4,500 world-class recordings were captured in natural acoustic environments by Mangini and Anderson to fill out temporary mixes while creating the sound for hundreds of feature films and shows. Craft your scenes with both common and distinctive sounds of everyday actions — from footsteps, cloth rustle, and body grabs to chair slides, coins, aerosol spray, butterfly wing flaps, and much more.

Odyssey Foley Effects is the latest individually available library curated from The Odyssey Collection: Complete – which features the complete private library of Mangini and Anderson built throughout their careers in sound for film. Learn more about The Odyssey Collection here.
