Anthony Mancini
Audio Engineer
Anthony's interest in music and audio began at an early age. As a teenager he studied music both privately at the Ontario Conservatory of Music and at high school where he was able to hone his skills as a guitarist and also experimenting with many other instruments. By the age of 15 Anthony was performing regularly at bars and clubs throughout Ontario in numerous bands from the Niagara area. He recorded his first album at 16 in a local studio which sparked his interest in the recording arts. He soon set up a demo studio in his parents basement where he cut his teeth as an engineer recording demos for friends and local bands.
After high school Anthony decided to pursue music further, enrolling in the music program at York University in Toronto where he studied music history, counterpoint and composition. York's liberal music program exposed him to many new things, including experimental music, jazz and world music, and left him with a solid musical foundation rooted in theory and musicianship from which he would later build on.
After leaving university Anthony continued playing and pursuing the recording arts, working with different musicians and producers both in the Niagara region and Toronto. He later attended Fanshawe's Music Industry Arts program where he was able to study with famed producer Jack Richardson (The Guess Who, Alice Cooper) and Grammy nominated engineer Kevin Doyle (Alana Myles, Glen Gould, Kiss and Andrea Boccelli to name a few). He left Fanshawe at the top of his class, awarded Best Audio Product and Best Engineer both years he was there. As a musician he was garnering success as the guitarist in the band MilesAbove, who where a regular fixture in the club scene throughout southern Ontario and also had moderate success in the UK, Japan and parts of Europe with their last 2 albums.
As an audio engineer Anthony has worked extensively both as a live sound engineer and in the studio as a recording and post production engineer, sound designer, editor, producer and composer. He has worked on numerous series that air nationally on both network and cable tv in Canada, the U.S. and abroad, as well as on many corporate projects, documentaries and films. Recent credits include audio post production for the series "Dream Car Garage" (Speed Channel) for which he also arranged and recorded the 2008 Theme music, "Don't Forget Your Passport" (OLN) and "Canada In The Rough" (Global), the sound design, 5.1 mix and complete orchestral score for the movie "Home Beyond the Sun" (Garden City Pictures), sound design and mix for numerous movie trailers, DVD elements and promotional projects for Cloud Ten Pictures (producers of the "Left Behind" series) as well as corporate work for clients such as Dofasco, National Steel Car, Niagara Parks Commission and Ontario Power Generation.
