I’m an audio engineer focused on mixing, mastering, and detailed voice cleanup for spoken-word, music, and cinematic audio. My priority is clarity and warmth - removing noise and distractions while keeping performances natural and human. What I help with: • Cleaning and restoring spoken-word audio (breaths, clicks, noise) • Mixing and mastering music and cinematic audio • Turning rough or poorly recorded files into clear, professional results How I approach projects: I focus on clean, natural results using professional restoration and mixing tools. I work quickly but carefully, review every pass by ear, and make adjustments until the audio feels right - not just “technically clean.” For time-sensitive or ongoing work, I can often turn around clean edits within hours of receiving files. I’m always open to feedback and revisions - getting the result right matters more to me than rushing a deliverable out the door. I’ve spent years behind the board and in front of the mic, which gives me perspective from both sides of the glass. I understand how performances feel to the person recording them, and I shape sound in a way that connects emotionally - not just technically. Whether you need a full mix, spoken-word cleanup, dialogue polish, audio restoration, or rough recordings turned into something release-ready, this is my lane. What I’m locked in on: • Mixing and mastering that sounds modern, clean, and translates everywhere • Audio restoration and cleanup (noise, hiss, harshness, room issues) • Vocal tuning and pitch correction when needed • Dialogue and spoken-word polishing People work with me because I’m fast, communicative, and detail-obsessed. I care about how things feel, not just how fast they get done. If you need your sound to hit harder, feel cleaner, or stand out in a crowded space, I’ve got you. Fast turnaround. Clear communication. Results that actually translate.
