Critical Role production
Chris Willmott was responsible for manual sound production of Critical Role campaings, Talks Machina, Crit Recap Animated, All Work No Play, Between the Sheets and Mini Primetime. As well as, doing additional Sound Design and Music Edits for the Mighty Vibes and the sea shanty promo for Uk'otoa boardgame.

Chris brief made two appearances in and  episodes of Talks Machina. He also made a sound pedal for that is able to add an ambient effect on Ashley's voice, reflecting her roleplaying an AI named M.O.T.H.E.R.

In August 2018, Vinnie Singh, the head producer at Critical Role Productions, said that their studio did not have "super-expensive" microphones, the fact that lots of them pointed directly at the cast and Chris has a "great feel" for the show and is manually mixing it the entire time remedied the lack of quality equipment.

Brian Foster said about Chris: "Chris literally sits at the sound board with headphones watching a monitor, with each of his fingers on a fader, adjusting levels in real time without taking his hands off the controls. He does this for any of the shows he mixes for us, and it really is a sight to behold. He doesn't set levels then check out, even for a few minutes. Part of what makes him so valuable is his attentiveness and standard of quality throughout an entire program."

Personal life
In July 2019, Chris got engaged to his long-time partner, with whom he had been together for 9 years.
