      Recording Engineer/Dialogue Editor

      Before moving to California, I was a Recording Engineer, Audio Editor, and Dialogue Editor at GM Voices Studios in Atlanta which required me to record, edit, and mix both voice-over dialogue and music, format the finished product to the client's specifications, and then deliver it to the client. GM Voices is one of the busiest industrial voice-over recording studios in the country. The studio has an average monthly output of One Million words or 65,000 prompts which are recorded in approximately 360 sessions and a roster of over 900 voice talents in over 100 different languages! My employers at GM Voices tell me they consistently depended on me to be the problem-solver of the GMV Production department as well as the engineer they prefer to oversee any high-importance clients, sessions, or projects. For example, I was GMV's AND the talent's preferred choice for engineering and directing a 10 year old boy through a VERY difficult 150,000 word Text-To-Speech script. Show less

      Recording Engieer, Dialogue Editor

      I am currently a part time Recording Engineer at VoiceTrax West in Studio City where I regularly engineer sessions for auditions, podcasts, classes, audiobooks, national radio and TV spots, video games, animated series, and much more! Talents that come in to record auditions often request me as their engineer because I've been told I help them elevate their reads with a relaxed and fun attitude and clear and creative direction!
