Sound Designer, Toivo Kallio (Returnal, Angry Birds: Reloaded)

(TSAP S04E13)


In this special in-person interview, Sam chats to our very own
Toivo Kallio! Toivo is not only a highly talented Sound Designer
at Rovio Entertainment, he also kindly lends his skills editing
and mastering our podcast episodes! 


They discuss his journey into audio, his talent and affinity for
the art of Foley, working on Returnal & Angry Birds: Reloaded
and more!


"Toivo Kallio is a sound professional from Finland who's been a
bit of a movie buff and a video game addict since the early 90's.
Toivo's ambition for sound and music really kicked in during
senior secondary school when he got his first PC computer.


Toivo's first digital sound projects were game audio
modifications that he made just for fun and at the same time
learned structural principals of game sound design. Toivo also
watched a lot of Making Of material about his favorite movies.
After a video/short film course Toivo felt that his future would
have something to do with television, film, games and other
media.


After his 6 months in the Finnish military Toivo found a website
about The Institute of Design in Lahti. Surprisingly he got in
with the first try! The four years Toivo spent there were a big
achievement for him. He graduated from the film school department
in May 2010, specializing in cinematic sound design.


Nowadays Toivo is still an enthusiast of sound and has worked in
the field of sound design since 2010. Toivo is also an occasional
voice-over actor and has done quite a lot of field recording for
television (both on location and in studio) and film productions
between 2010 and 2018. One of Toivo's biggest focuses has been
the art of Foley. In early 2018 he started as a full-time game
audio designer in Housemarque, and in early 2021 he got to Rovio
where his game sound design career continues."
