Best Sound Design Studios in Singapore (2026)

Introduction

The 7 studios below design, record and mix sound from Singapore in 2026. Five are audio post studios that handle sound design, voiceover, Foley and mixing for film, television, streaming and advertising. One is a production and post facility with sound in-house, and one is a sonic branding agency.

Singapore’s audio post work follows the city’s role as a regional production hub. Streaming series and regional campaigns need mixes in several formats and voiceover in several languages, and some studios here now mix in Dolby Atmos. Mocha Chai Laboratories describes itself as Southeast Asia’s first Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certified studio, and Doppler Soundlab installed what Amphion called Asia’s first Amphion Dolby Atmos studio. Much of the advertising audio work happens inside production and post houses as well as at specialist studios.

Studios were chosen for their services, the clients and work they publish, and evidence of a working Singapore studio. Many sound studios publish little dated work, so the list stops at 7 and several entries carry a note to confirm current details. It is unranked, since the right studio depends on whether you need a film mix, commercial sound design, voiceover or a sonic identity.

7. Sixième Son Singapore

Part of Sixième Son · Beach Road · sixiemeson.com

Sixième Son is a French sonic branding agency that opened its Asia hub in Singapore in 2022, led by managing director Florent Adam. It designs a brand’s sonic identity and adapts it for digital, social, broadcast, events, product UX sounds and call centres.

Clients named at the Singapore launch include Samsung and PETRONAS. The Singapore office started as a small consulting team, with sound designers elsewhere in the network, so ask where the composition and production will be done.

What to look for in a Singapore sound design studio

Start with the format. A feature or streaming series needs a dub stage or a certified Atmos room, stems to the platform’s specification and a record of passing technical QC. A commercial needs fast turnaround, several cut-downs and mixes to broadcast loudness. A sonic identity needs composition and brand strategy more than mixing.

Ask about languages early. Singapore projects often need English, Mandarin, Malay or Tamil versions, or voiceover for several Southeast Asian markets. Check whether the studio casts and directs voiceover in those languages, and whether it can record remote sessions with talent abroad.

Check the rooms and the people. Ask which room your mix will be in, whether it is calibrated for the format you need, and who the mixer and sound designer will be. Many studios here have small teams, so availability around your delivery date matters.

Finally, agree how sessions and stems will be handed over. A finished mix produces Pro Tools sessions, stems, M&E tracks, music cue sheets and versions for each market. Agree file naming, where the deliverables live and who keeps the sessions once the job is done.

How Fabric helps sound design teams

Fabric gives an audio team one workspace for sessions, stems, scripts and client feedback, with AI search across all of it. The page for music creators covers how audio teams keep sessions and references together.

Sessions and stems sit in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and shared team folders always show the latest versions. There is more on this in why audio sessions end up scattered and in the guide to organising audio project files.

Uploaded recordings are transcribed, and search results jump to the timestamp where something was said, which helps when a producer needs a particular voiceover take or interview line. Scripts and cue sheets sit next to the audio they belong to.

For approvals, mixes and versions can be published as a web page with password protection, and clients can leave threaded comments through a shared link without an account. Reviewers can comment on scripts and PDFs, and leave timestamped comments on audio and video.

Password protection is included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.
