My name is Garett Symes, and I am a trained video and audio engineer based in Vancouver, Canada (PST) that has been working in the podcasting space since 2022 as an editor, copywriter and general admin/support. In addition to this, I am a music producer and sound designer. I am well-experienced in using content hosting services, transcription services, as well as all AV programs and softwares (DaVinci, Logic Pro, Pro Tools) required to achieve a high-quality product, regardless of the medium. What I can offer you is essentially end-to-end, professional post-production. You send me the files (video/audio) and you have to worry about nothing at all past that point. A professional quality product will go live on all platforms on your selected date!
