'A Jack of many connected trades, and a master of them all'
ENGINEERING AND AUDIO / VIDEO EDITING: With years of experience, and all the required specialist software and professional hardware in my studio, I can perform all kinds of audio editing, podcast production, mastering, restoration and general audio improvement to bring your project up to commercial quality. I have a lot of experience in editing and improving vocals, and I also specialize in restoring bad quality audio of any kind.
MUSIC: With a career of over 20 years working in writing, recording and producing high quality original music, I can ably create powerful and effective work in diverse genres which will compliment your project perfectly. From live classical guitar to retro synths to world instruments, I can create the ideal music for your project.
VOICE OVER / NARRATION: I have a classic British accent and have worked on a wide variety of V/O projects, from corporate introductions to children's stories. My voice also lends itself well to English language learning material. I perform all work in my studio including editing.
TRANSCRIPTION: I am a highly professional Transcriptionist. I am experienced in Full Verbatim, Clean Verbatim and Edited forms of transcription, and will follow any formatting and deadline requirements you may have.
With my background in audio engineering I am able to enhance and repair the audio if ever necessary, for easier and quicker transcription (if there are ever any sections of lower audio quality)
MORE ABOUT MY MUSIC PRODUCTION: As someone who is passionate about producing sounds that are truly original, I am able to evoke any desired emotion or atmosphere required for your project and to the high standards of professional studio quality. Along with this, the originality and 'heart' I put into my work will really help make your project stand out as unique, and will shine with a 'fine art' quality.
My talents range from being able to create intricate acoustic guitar parts (which I am highly skilled at) through to full-blown multi-instrumental soundtracks and Sound Design, worthy of being used in film or modern video games. I am also comfortable in creating contemporary Rock and Pop music, right through to Modern Folk or Classical. I am also skilled at creating atmosphere sounds and ambient music.
Drawing from a lifetime of inspiration, personal music experience and a vast palette of sounds and instruments; the expressive chords and strong melodies I can compose for your project are guaranteed to have the required effect on those that hear them, and will compliment and enhance your finished work.
To accomplish this work I have a small but powerful studio set-up in which I can record a base selection of live instruments, and also create with 'virtual instruments' digitally - which are practically indistinguishable from their physical counterparts, using high-tech playable 'sample libraries'. This means that you can achieve the full professional sound that you need for your project to be successful, but on a relatively smaller budget.
All aspects of this work can be completed by myself in-house, including composition, live recording, digital / midi recording, final editing, mixing and mastering - and I will only bring in additional musicians or other workers when specifically needed for a project that requires it. This is another way I can keep costs down for my clients, whilst still ensuring very high artistic quality and audio quality.
Because I have life experience ranging from playing in rock bands to writing for film (and even composing commissioned classical pieces for a funeral!), I will be as comfortable working on an all important 'front-and-center' theme tune for a TV series as I will be creating a simple-but-effective 'fun' piece for a short advert or youtube video.
With all technicality aside, I can tell you honestly that my greatest asset is my unique and potent imagination, and my strong artistic vision. How much of this I will need to draw upon will depend on the scope of your project, but it is the foundation of what makes my work stand out and is something I can always depend on.
It's important to me to build a good relationship with my clients, and I will work closely with you and any other existing freelancers you work with to make sure you get the results you want.
I'm very responsive and easy to work with and I always put my heart and soul into every project I work on - no matter how big or small, so I look forward to hearing from you!
