The prop wall and shoe collection on The Foley Job stage in Burbank, California

Meet the crew

The feet, the hands, the ears.

A small crew with a very loud resume — two Emmy winners, six MPSE Golden Reels and a C.A.S. Award on one Burbank stage.

Tara Blume, Emmy-winning Foley artist, on the Foley stage in Burbank, California

Tara Blume

Foley Artist · Co-Founder

An Emmy Award–winning Foley artist with five MPSE Golden Reel Awards, Tara Blume has been performing for as long as she can remember. She began training and performing professionally as a dancer and singer at just five years old, eventually earning a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music for voice, where she went on to study Music Production & Engineering.

It was at Berklee that Tara discovered Foley — the perfect collision of performance, sound, rhythm, and storytelling — and immediately fell in love with the craft. After graduating, she moved to Los Angeles, landed her first Foley gig, and never looked back.

Today, Tara is the co-founder of The Foley Job, where she leads the stage side of every Foley package — gathering, collecting, and foraging anything imaginable, making their stage a heritage collection of surfaces and props — bringing a performer's instinct, a musician's ear, and more than two decades of experience to every project.

Over the years, she's been incredibly fortunate to have her work recognized with an Emmy and five MPSE Golden Reel Awards — though what she loves most is still the same thing that drew her to Foley in the first place: the synergy she feels in performance, a thrill that has never once faded.

Ryan Maguire

Foley Mixer & Editor · Sound Supervisor · Co-Founder

With more than two decades of experience in post-production sound, Ryan Maguire has built a career defined by technical excellence, creative instinct, and an unwavering commitment to the story.

His extensive body of work spans virtually every genre and format, with credits including Spongebob, GLEE, The Incredible Hulk, and Dexter. From animation and comedy to drama and action, Ryan brings the same meticulous attention to detail and cinematic approach to every project.

Early in his career, Ryan had the opportunity to work alongside some of the industry's most respected sound professionals, where he was quickly immersed in demanding and complex sonic environments. Those experiences shaped his philosophy: great sound isn't simply about making a project sound good — it's about understanding the story, anticipating the needs of the production, and creating a soundtrack that elevates what audiences see on screen.

That combination of experience, problem-solving, and passion has earned Ryan a loyal clientele and long-standing relationships throughout the entertainment industry.

In 2015, Ryan's work was recognized with a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing for Houdini, starring Academy Award winner Adrien Brody. Today, he brings that same Emmy-winning standard to every project — combining veteran expertise with a collaborative approach to deliver exceptional sound, thoughtful creative solutions, and a finished product that stands out.
