Dan is a director, producer, owner, mediocre golfer, entrepreneur, and father. You could say he’s a modern-day renaissance man, but we’d rather you didn’t.
He’s been involved in a number of award-winning projects, but has yet to win just one 6 Degrees Whack-a-Mole competition.
Carolyn has her roots in camp. She loves the leadership, teamwork and work ethic required to tackle whatever nature (or the latest emergency record) has in store.
She loves team sports (no surprise), Friday beers, and pop country (we are working on this!). If you need someone to trust as you light your first fire, trace a set of switchbacks, come across a rogue squirrel or find the perfect tree for a bear hang, talk to Carolyn.
She can also be trusted to treat every music and sound project, big or small, with the same level of care and attention to detail. That camp value works like trail magic at 6.
Christian came to 6 from the world of acting. Excelling in the disciplines of theatre, voice and film & TV, Christian has been fearless in his pursuit of performance.
He has devoted himself to the Calgary Arts community through his numerous stage appearances, including winning countless Critics Awards and Bettys, along with numerous awards for radio and TV/Film productions.
As a casting director at 6, Christian is able to pull from an intimate knowledge of the local and out of market agencies to find the best possible talent for every project.
As a voice director, Christian specializes in scene based projects, including radio plays, commercial radio and animation. Outside of the sound proof walls of the studio, you will find him spending time with his lovely wife and two beautiful sons.
Andrea (An-dray-ah) is our resident voice director, composer, and producer. She has fearlessly pushed herself to excel in all three vocations, as she holds a very high bar for herself and 6 Degrees. Starting at 6 shortly after finishing her masters at Western University, Andrea has committed herself to growing the studio, developing new talent, and maintaining a no bullshit meter on human resources and word clocks. Most days you will find Drea working away in her composition suite with a lukewarm Americano Misto and her bernedoodle, Tug, at her feet.
Alec should have been born in LA. Not in the messed up, grinding, lost-soul side of LA, but in the neighborhoods of great storytellers like Spielberg, Scott and Cameron. Alec’s first language is music and he speaks fluently in a dialogue of themes, emotional intent, story arc and melodic motifs. Starting to score for picture before he could watch an R rated movie, Alec intimately understands the role of score in film – as a support to the visual, and knows that at times the best way to be heard is by not being heard at all. Alec has piled up the awards over his young career, from Sports Emmy nominations, to AMPIA Awards, and numerous acknowledgments in film, television and commercial production. In his spare time Alec enjoys cattle wrangling, blacksmithing and re-runs of jeopardy – all kidding aside Alec loves spending time with his family, binge watching Hans Zimmer tutorials, and all outdoor pursuits.
Robyn see’s her life as one continuous screenplay. She picks her roles and portrays them with depth and nuance. One day she casts as the talent coordinator, the next as the company therapist and the next as manager of an intensely focused, glasses-on-the-nose office administrator.
In our opinion she’s pulling Tony Award winning performances on a daily basis and should bow before she departs the shop. In her free time she enjoys watching Bravo! (who doesn’t) and is currently taking night classes to become a certified Charcutier.
John is full of passion, care for his craft, and with over 25 years of experience, his resume includes award winning post and commercial production, as well as a collection of Emmy’s.
He consistently works to find the best sound, effects, vocal EQ, and mix balance without ever settling for less than perfection.
John has a great sense of humour, loves fine wines, and recently became a new dad.
Peter Irwin has been a part of the 6 Degrees fabric for the past 5 years. Starting on the fringe, Pete methodically threaded his way into being a centrepiece in the 6 picture.
Pete is thoughtful and calm in the fire and adaptable to all things technology. His sound design chops are one of his calling cards, as he interprets how scenes should feel as much as what they would actually sound like.
In his spare time, Pete likes to golf, ski, day trade pharmaceutical stocks, and spend time with his wife and their dog Branford.
James was lured from the salty shores of west England during the depths of the pandemic. Not the most alluring origin story for entering our 6 world, but James has shown he has a stiff upper lip for handling adversity and change.
In between his times hunting pheasant, enjoying a nice drive on the motorway to the mountains, and brief chinwags with his fellow officemates, James has proven to be a proficient engineer and wily sound designer. He’s also Italian!
