President
serge@audioz.comFunny, witty, daring, and always curious, Serge has been a part of the Montréal post-production scene for over 30 years now. In an effort to keep the hustle and bustle of downtown Montréal away from his studio, he aimed up, waaay up! to the 26th floor of the Stock Exchange Tour, where he orchestrates and conducts a team of talented artists with gusto and panache.
General Manager / Sound Engineer
johan@audioz.comJohan Chacon was born in 1400 (Ref.: www.genealogieonline.nl) lived a full and loving life before passing away at young age. Luckily for us, in 1977 he reincarnated in El Salvador, immigrated to Quebec when he turned 10, became a brilliant sound engineer and fathered 3 adorable children. Life coach to many of us, he lifts all humans above his own persona and inspires Audio Z’s operations on a daily basis with his integrity, compassion and legendary kindness. HBO content specialist, zen podcast commuter and trust us, he is no gringo when it comes to mojitos and refried beans.
Casting and production coordinator
annick@audioz.comA tranquil, yet powerful force of nature, Annick takes on her projects with reassuring calm and serenity. But beware, under that sweetness and those feline eyes lies a keen jogger running straight towards any challenge, and a punk rocker at heart living life all in!
Casting and production coordinator
stephanie@audioz.comWith her infectious smile, good humour and enthusiasm, Stephanie sets the mood; all while handling our clients requests with poise and grace.

Casting and production coordinator
vanessa@audioz.comA mix of vibrancy, joie de vivre and a wicked sense of humour, all lovingly contained in one single person. It never quite feels like work when she’s around. When she’s not juggling the busy life of a producer, you can find her whipping other people into shape, trekking, or downing the occasional draft beer. Santé!
Sound Engineer / DOP
mathb@audioz.comBehind Mathieu’s calm and charming disposition, lies a rebel in disguise. The kind that might stroll the streets of Montreal at night on his skate board, dreams of jumping out of airplanes, and might just drink Gin straight out of a bottle; probably all to the beat of ‘Born to be wild’. A talented musician and sound engineer, Mathieu joins Audio Z freshly graduated with a Master’s from the prestigious McGill University Sound Recording Program.

Technical Director
axel@audioz.comAn audio geek in the purest sense of the word, Axel moved to Montreal to make his mark. Embodying the multidisciplinary definition, he can tactfully and efficiently answer all your questions. We can often find Axel in his natural habitats: in front of a computer, on a tennis court, or even with a pizza in his mouth while practicing his guitar “chops.” It’s safe to say he’ll keep you entertained.
Technical Support and distribution
charles@audioz.comThey say all roads lead to Audio Z… euh Rome. After many roads travelled, Charles comes to our studio with an expérience as varied as his colourful t-shirts.

Hospitality specialist
mathieu@audioz.comA natural host and entertainer, Mathieu warms up our reception area with his contagious laugh and dark sens of humor. An unassuming fashionista, he’s the only one in the studio brave enough to pull off a decent hat. We’re not talking baseball caps here; we’re talking fedoras, pork pie hats, Panama hats, hats that are notoriously hard to get right. One day you might mistake him for Humphrey Bogart, the next for Walter White.
