Rian/Hunter Production

What Rian/Hunter Production does

Rian/Hunter Production is a privately held, Virginia-based audio post-production company founded in 2016 by Trent Toner and Katie Boyle. Operating as an LLC with 1–10 employees, the firm delivers three core services: sound design and mixing, voiceover casting and recording, and expert location audio restoration and clean-up. Work is produced from their Virginia Beach headquarters (opened 2019) and a newer Richmond, Virginia studio (opened April 2025), with engineering staff including a Senior Audio Engineer / Re-Recording Mixer. The technology stack centers on high-end noise reduction and audio clean-up tools, a vetted multi-language voiceover roster, and a true room-within-a-room acoustic build in the Virginia Beach studio.

The company serves enterprise clients across media and entertainment, advertising, and a broad cross-section of consumer-facing industries. Named clients include Disney, Pfizer, Capital One, Walmart, Amazon, Cisco, PwC, Golf Channel, Molson Coors, UPS, Geico, Tinder, Johnson & Johnson, and Apoquel. Service lines cover major motion pictures, nationally-broadcast television, Super Bowl commercials, video games, podcasts, and interactive media. Differentiators emphasized by the company include the founders' 30+ years of combined experience, the ability to restore location audio that competitors reportedly cannot fix, and a curated voiceover roster covering more than a dozen languages.

The business model is professional services with project-based, quote-only pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with inbound leads generated through the website, social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), a Vimeo reel, and a free 10-second audio clean-up sample offer. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no channel partner or reseller model. Ownership and operational control remain with the two co-founders.

Others

Direct peers

Broad incumbents

Overlaps with Rian/Hunter on sound design and mixing for motion pictures, but operates at vastly larger scale with proprietary facilities and broader portfolio.

Comparable on audio post services but operates at much larger, multi-service scale.

Emerging players

Comparable to Rian/Hunter's voiceover casting/recording service but at a fundamentally different scale and via a self-serve marketplace model rather than a curated boutique roster.
