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. I'm also an active member of the Early Career Audio Collective, founded by Sara McCrea.
Past companies I've worked with include SiriusXM, American Public Media, and Gotham West Studios. I have a strong background in host collaboration, guest 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.
