About Lou
Hi there! I'm Lou Baron (she/her), a producer and production manager in NYC.
At duotone audio, I manage end-to-end sound production for brands, films, podcasts and museums.
I gravitate towards roles with an emphasis on production management and new work development. In other words, I'm equally invested in the structure of a budget and a script...and the stories they tell. Though I'm curious about all kinds of subject matter, I particularly thrive working in educational, arts & culture, and scripted, sound-rich spaces.
Past companies I've worked with include SiriusXM, American Public Media, and Gotham West Studios. I have a strong background in host collaboration, talent booking, cutting tape (Pro Tools, Audition, Descript) and producing on (very) tight deadlines. Forever indebted to, and in love with, college radio.
Lou's Portfolio
I produced, wrote and edited this episode of daily kids podcast Moment of Um. I worked with APM's distribution partner ABF Creative to create multiple episodes that would cross-promote their kids affirmation podcast Charm Words. This is one of them!
Other episodes I wrote and produced include: "Do Flowers Fall in Love?", featured on the NPR app for Valentine's Day, and "Why Do Cupcakes Have Wrapping on the Bottom?"
I edited a cut for the feed of this special episode of The Slowdown - an interview and reading with US poet Laureate Ada Limón. For all episodes released between July of 2023 and January of 2024, I copy-edited poem transcriptions, fact-checked pronunciations, worked with host Major Jackson in recording sessions, and edited select episodes of (15+) in Pro Tools.
I researched and co-wrote this half-hour episode of the kids & family science podcast Brains On with producer Rosie duPont. We answered a real listener's question, "Is hypnosis real?" by diving into the field of pediatric hypnosis: what it is, what it isn't, and how it can help kids.
Ambie-Nominated, 2025.
For duotone and DAVID the agency, I served as an audio producer on this Ambie Award-nominated Clash of Clans podcast. It's a fictional riff on a true crime show in the world of the game, and racked up millions of views within 24 hours of launch.
I assisted in the casting process, managed SAG talent paperwork, monitored recording and mix sessions, wrote detailed takesheets for 10+ characters, and facilitated communication throughout several rounds of original music, sound design and mix revisions.
