Wildsound Studios was established by Mike Idioma -
one of the most-renowned sound engineers in the Philippines.
HOW WE STARTED
With the help of his wife Timi, his brother Manny, and close-knit friends Alex Tomboc and Karen Tiangco, the company started in 2003 as a live sound production and rentals group, providing materials and services for shoot recording needs. The 3-floor apartment of the Idioma's at P. Lopez, Mandaluyong served as the first company office with the equipment in one floor and another as the location for commercial shoot.
In 2007, the company's clients grew in number and the demand for a mixing studio arose. The group decided to the request of the clients, thus, the Makati office was established. Since then, Wildsound continued to offer its clients two major services:
the live and post production for audio.
While the company enjoyed its success, there were also challenges that came along the way as it is true with every business. Some key players left for another country, some to shifted career paths, growing government demands... But amidst all the struggles, applicants came in almost from everywhere around the country. Through the successes and lapses, certain changes were made and improvements on the side of management and administration, operations and procedures were carefully planned and realized.
