What Our Clients Are Saying
Joe Camareno, Producer / Director (DGA) Celtino Entertainment Group
I have worked with Dean Robaina of Synergy Sound Post Audio on two series, Linked by Love (narrative) and Linked by Love: All Kidneys Are Pink (docu-series). He did Sound design, editorial, clean-up, stereo and 5.1 mix. He is working on a feature of mine, Edith & Harvey, and is doing all of that as well as creating an M&E file for dubbing options on the distributor side. His delivery has always been on time and in some cases, earlier than expected. He is professional and based on my experience in working with him, has a high work ethic which makes him the first call on my list for post sound work.
Erick Szot, Owner, Producer, Show-runner of Gym Shorts
Dean Robaina has been the one consistent and positive aspect of the post production of my sitcom "Gym Shorts". We started working together after releasing the pilot episodes and I have not had to worry about anything post sound related since. It has been a blessing. Dean has done ADR when needed, dialogue cleanup, all sound design and the final mixes for Gym Shorts. Sound is so important to a production and Dean is one of the reasons I feel confident putting my sitcom on Amazon Prime. Collaborating with Dean has been a great professional experience. I feel comfortable giving him extra responsibility, asking for his opinions and getting professional recommendations when I've need them. The job is always timely, and his rates are reasonable, especially considering the great work and experience you are getting. On a personal note, Dean has a fun, friendly, thoughtful personality, he is family oriented and cares about who he works with. I honestly can not say enough positive things about Dean Robaina and his work. Thank you Dean for all you've done for Gym Shorts.
Andres Irias, Miami based Director/ Writer/ Producer
I heard about Dean Robaina through another film maker who has and still is working with Dean on his own short films. From the get go, I heard nothing but great things about him. From his personality, to his talent and work ethic, on paper… Dean seemed like an instant perfect hire. Upon connecting with Dean, I noticed my friend was right on everything he spoke about him! Dean and I instantly connected when it came to the language and respect for the craft that Post Production Sound Design and Sound Mixing requires. I knew right then and there that he was the missing piece of our short film. Dean came on board to the Post Production Sound Mixing of my short film #Ladyfinger. He had an attention to detail that required lots of patience, but he delivered with not a single complaint when it came down to the final mix. His personality and mine naturally connected with each respecting what we were trying to achieve with the film, and his talent only enhanced the film’s experience. Since his mix, reception to our film has sky rocketed and it’s all thanks to Dean! I firmly believe that the industry needs people with both talent, and a personality that makes the experience for both parties all the more respectful and enjoyable, and Dean is exactly that. He loves his work and his execution is one of pristine professionalism. After his result on #Ladyfinger, I made it clear to him that I wish to continue working with him, and thats a fact. Next time I have a short, a series or a feature, I’ll know who to contact… Dean Robaina!

Erica Ashley, Erica Ashley Entertainment
With great honor, I would like to provide bragging rights to Dean Robaina. I have had the
pleasure of working with Dean on several projects. Dean completed sound design and music
composition on three projects that I’ve produced – Saudade (A Webisode Series), Beauty Queen
(Music Video), and Black Girl (PSA). Working with Dean has been a memory that I’ll forever
cherish. Not only was he an expert in his craft, but he was professional and collaborative in
suggesting creative flow to the overall vision of the music genre and sound quality. Dean
showcased creative problem-solving and patience, which led to all three projects receiving
abundant recognition from film festivals and networks such as PBS. With his ability to give an
organic sound to make the scenes come to life, I know that it won’t be long before he rises to
even more superstar status in the world of Entertainment.

Dr. Socrates Zayas
Recently I reached out to Synergy Sound Post Audio and I told them I had a vision for a project I wanted to get done, but I needed it done immediately, because I had a business meeting and was leaving town for a week. The catch was I needed it captured and completely edited and uploaded to me in 72 hours. Not only did the owner and CEO of the company (Dean Robaina) respond immediately, but he himself showed up in the 103 degree, South Florida sun and got this thing done! Need I say more? ! Yes, one more thing BOOM! If you have a vision, a project that needs high quality production and you need it quick, Synergy Sound Post Audio is IT!
