From breaking bones to trudging through snow – it is a Foley artist's role to reproduce the everyday sound effects that are added to film, TV and games. By using a variety of unconventional props and their own bodies, the goal is to create an authentic soundscape that will enhance our auditory experience. If the Foley goes unnoticed then they've done their job well! Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to two award winning Foley artists and asks what it's like to spend so much time, quite literally stepping into someone else's shoes. Caoimhe Doyle has over 25 years' experience creating Foley sound effects and footsteps for film, television and video games. She's been nominated three times for the MPSE Golden Reel Award for her work on Colm Bairéad's An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), The Favourite, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises. In 2011 she won a MPSE Golden Reel Award and was nominated for an Emmy for her work on Game of Thrones: Season 1 and is a current MPSE nominee for work on Rich Peppiatt's Kneecap. Caoimhe collaborates with an all-female team out of The Foley Lab in a quiet part of County Wicklow in Ireland.Marita Sbeih is a Lebanese Foley artist and one of only a handful working in the Middle East. Since 2018, she has been the dedicated Foley Artist at DB Studios in Beirut, which provides audio post-production for films, documentaries, and art productions from around the globe. Pursuing a career as a Foley artist in a country with many unique challenges has been far from easy, but Marita has built an impressive list of credits for Foley and footsteps in some of the Arab world's more distinguished art-house and indie productions, as well as international projects. Most recently, she worked on Hot Milk, a UK film directed by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, which was selected for the official competition at the 75th Berlinale (2025).Produced by Hannah Dean (Image: (L) Caoimhe Doyle courtesy Caoimhe Doyle.

Cailín Callaghan is a writer and a spiritual cognitive coach. She has been a mystic since the age of five.Her childhood was fraught with peril and abuse. But she had the ability to bi-locate, to separate body and soul. And she had her spirit guide, Michael, who she later realized is “the Source consciousness from which I spring into this world venue”.People around Cailín told her Michael was merely a figment of her childish imagination. In her teens, she tried to ignore her connection with the nonphysical realm and lead a conventional, materialistic, life. She began building a career in science. The magic drained out.But a near-death experience at the age of 20 changed everything.She met Michael again, in the ‘lustrous vast of quantum imminence'. He explained how life on earth works.“From the lustrous vast, the world is clearly a dream. It cannot even touch you, much less hurt you”, says Cailín.Michael said to her: “Only the lucid dreamer can change the dream.”And she remembered her mission. She remembered she was part of a huge team with the task to enter ‘earth venue' and help humanity.“I thought, ‘I have to go back. I have to tell everybody this. If i can just make them lucid in the dream of the world, it will end suffering.'”Cailín's life today is about teaching lucidity and how we create our lives. She has coined the term imagifesting.“It's important to stop worrying, because you're borrowing from a future that may never occur”, she says.“You have to be lucid enough in the dream to observe the worry and then choose to do something much more productive in its stead. You imagine and manifest how the things you normally worry about unfold to their ideal resolution.”Then you create what you really want.“To imagifest is to summon the experience of every dimension of what you want to occur, especially the feeling you will have when it occurs.”Our physicality is part of what we are, but not the essence. The essence is immortal. Life on earth is an illusion, a game, a play, a dream.“People identifying as the dream character is what creates all the suffering in the world. They are unconsciously creating a world they don't want. And then they blame that world for being unhappy!”This also relates to strong opinions and beliefs.“When you identify with the dream character, you want to be right more than you want to be happy.”And the solution?“People being lucid in the dream of the world.”The vast of quantum imminence, Cailín explains, is the substrate in which all worlds, i.e. all dreams, take place.“There is no separation. There are points of view, and there are selves, but there are no separate selves. Truth is unity. But Source enjoys being you. That identity is perfect, because you're a godling.”We should confront what frightens us the most, says Cailín.“It's a sign post: Confront this, so you can get past it.”It's probably not such a good idea to apply this to the news cycle, however. To enhance your lucidity, you cannot get caught in the news drama.Cailín's websiteCailín's YoutubeCailín's Facebook
