People don’t believe that’s how he makes his living. “The most ridiculous job in the world”

“I have the most ridiculous job in the world,” says a TikTok user who posts content on an account called @reelfoleysound. “People can’t believe they’re paying me to stomp my feet, but that’s how I pay my bills,” TheSun.co.uk reads.

The woman who publishes content under the name Reel Foley Sound works in a television and film studio. Its task is to stomp – various substrates are selected for this, e.g. grass or wood – depending on what sound is required in a given production. In this way, it imitates the sounds of footsteps, which are then used in programs and movies.

He makes his living professionally stomping. “Why is this a real job?”

In one of the recordings she posted on TikTok, she shows how her work looks like on a daily basis. “Why is this a real job?” she wrote in the caption to the video showing her stomping her feet, tapping her feet rhythmically on the floor.

There is a large screen attached to the wall where he works. Behind it is a microphone on a stand, pointing down towards the woman’s feet. Walking actors or actresses are displayed on the screen. The woman has to track their gait to accurately reproduce the sound of footsteps. When the character on the screen takes a step – the tiktoker woman also puts her foot on the ground. On the floor, in numerous recordings, we can see different background scenery: the above-mentioned wood, grass, stones, etc. Depending on the background, the tiktoker has to try to vary the intensity of the sound of footsteps. Her job is not always easy! – he admits in one of the videos.

There are also recordings where he has to stomp in high heels or imitate the sound of footsteps of a person in the forest. She is very popular on TikTok – her recordings get up to 100,000 views, and followers leave thousands of comments on many videos. Many of them do not believe that this is how they make a living. Some people really liked her job. “I want your job!” – they write in the comments.
