Bob Pomann is an American sound designer whose work has been used in films, and in animated television series, including Doug and Little Einsteins. Pomann has also produced thousands of radio and television commercials, including award-winning ones.
While still in high school, Pomann was handpicked for an internship at Wendell L. Craig Inc. Thrust into doing promotional radio for film for Paramount, United Artists, and MGM, eighteen-year-old Bob turned out CLIO-nominated radio spots for the films King Kong, in 1976 and For Your Eyes Only, in 1981.
From there Pomann began doing sound effects for the original Saturday Night Live shorts with the legendary original cast, which included Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman, Michael O'Donoghue, and Gilda Radner. Pomann's Saturday Night Live work in turn led to his working on Michael O'Donoghue’s NBC television special, Mr. Mike's Mondo Video.
In 1980, Pomann was the sound designer for the National Lampoon comedy album, The Official National Lampoon Car Stereo Test & Demonstration Tape, working closely with the writer of the material, Ed Subitzky.
