Eric N.

English male narrator and voice-over specialist.

Hi, I'm Eric N. MY BACKGROUND I specialize in providing audio/video solutions, leveraging over 30 years of experience in information technology, including many software/educational presentations, and many years in audio/video editing before joining Upwork. My analytical skills and hands-on approach enable me to deliver tailored strategies that meet diverse client needs. VOICE-OVER, VOICE ARTIST, NARRATION As a male, fluent English Canadian speaker, I ensure clear and professional delivery. I have created audio files from supplied scripts to be used as voice-overs for narration, education, meditation, drama, and story-telling. I have completed two YouTube script narrations and can produce ACX standard recordings. AUDIO FILE CUT AND SPLICE - using your files or searched and sourced for you Seamless transitions or looping, from your timestamps, your required lengths, and consistent volume levels. CREATING AUDIO FILE - from multiple songs and sources For example, as a competitive ballroom dancer and DJ, I've created over 25 MP3 files of ballroom dance music. Each 30-minute compilation includes 15 songs (3 each of slow waltz, tango, Viennese waltz, slow foxtrot, and quickstep). Each song is edited to 2 minutes long, including a 5-second fade ending. Some songs are trimmed to remove extra verses while maintaining rhythmic consistency. All tracks are adjusted for consistent volume levels. For ballroom dancing, I modify songs to match specific BPM ranges by slightly speeding up or slowing them. The final product is a single merged file combining all 15 edited tracks. Ballroom studios use 2–4 of these files for practice sessions, replacing their own 30–60 song playlists. MULTI-TRACK AUDIO FILES I create ballroom competition simulation files with layered tracks (e.g., announcements by the Master of Ceremonies (me), dance songs, background music, and applause). These files are used at ballroom dance studios on their practice nights to help 15–20 couples train for their upcoming competitions. Also, I have created audio files with scripted meditation voice-over and background music. CREATE MASH-UP SONGS For example, I mashed up a 20 second motivational 'song' for a young baseball pitcher that he plays before a practice or game. It includes 20 seconds of a main song with parts of 3 other songs and sound effects as well. VIDEO EDITING TO INCLUDE TITLE PAGES AND TEXT I add titles/text to videos to enhance storytelling. Examples include ballroom dance videos on my YouTube channel and baseball videos with volume adjustments and unwanted segments removed. I am here to help. Let's discuss how I can contribute to your project and achieve your goals.

Alexandre B.

High-Performance Coach for Founders | Focus, Systems & Execution

Québec, Canada
$100 per hour
38 jobs

Most high-performers I coach aren’t lazy, they’re climbing the wrong mountain. I help founders, entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals regain clarity, build consistent execution systems and create meaningful momentum without burning out. The business may be growing and the goals may be getting hit, yet something feels off. The wins feel hollow. Priorities compete. You’re working harder while questioning whether the direction still fits who you are. That isn’t simply a motivation problem. It’s often a clarity, alignment and execution problem. HOW WE WORK Before our first session, you’ll complete my North Star Assessment, a guided clarity process that uncovers your goals, motivations, strengths, blind spots and sources of misalignment. From there, Forge OS tracks patterns in your focus, energy, habits and execution between sessions. This allows us to coach from real behavior instead of assumptions. MY COACHING FRAMEWORK • Clarity — Identify your Right Mountain • Focus — Eliminate competing priorities • Systems — Build sustainable habits • Execution — Create structured accountability • Momentum — Compound meaningful wins CLIENTS TYPICALLY LEAVE WITH • A clear 90-day direction • A simplified execution plan • Stronger habits and consistency • Better focus and less overwhelm • A business or career aligned with their strengths • Systems they can maintain independently I frequently work with founders, executives, creatives and ADHD professionals navigating inconsistency, overwhelm, major transitions or a loss of direction. WHAT I BRING • 17+ years of entrepreneurial and coaching experience • 2,000+ hours of coaching • 100% Upwork Job Success and Top Rated status • 100+ verified five-star reviews across platforms • 10 businesses built across Canada and Colombia • Coaching in English, French and Spanish Engagements typically run 4–12 weeks with clear goals, focused sessions, execution reviews and structured accountability. The objective is practical progress, not endless coaching dependency. The goal isn’t to build a life or business you need to escape from. It’s to build one that feels worth continuing. Send me one sentence describing where you’re stuck, and we’ll quickly determine whether working together makes sense.
