Saving you time, money, and headaches by editing your podcast, video, shorts, and audiograms so all you have to do is hit publish. And yes, I'll remove all the ums and uhs. Have an audiobook already recorded and need it mastered to ACX standards? Just send me your files and I'll edit along with the script and deliver the files as required by Audible's standards. However, I am not a voice actor and do not provide narration services, only editing please! Got a super specific, niche podcast topic? Go for it. I've worked on podcasts about pregnancy to space business and everything in between. I'm bound to find the best moments to highlight for you and your audience. Need original music for your project or podcast as well? I can handle that as a composer and a cellist. I can provide anything from an orchestral score to a track made entirely by synths like a Juno-106. But what about a soundscape for your podcast or meditation app? I also offer sound design to create a calming and welcoming environment for your listeners to get lost in. Don't know where to start? Let's chat and talk about launching your podcast from audio/video gear, podcast hosts, and figuring out a cadence that works for you. But what about your budget? I offer project rates so you know what to expect for every episode. __________ Technical Capabilities - Video Editing Software: Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve - Audio Software: Cubase, ProTools, Adobe Audition - Audio Processing: RX de-noise, de-plosives, de-esser, EQ, compression - Musical Genres: Orchestral, Americana, Video Games, Johnny Harris
