SKILLS

Throughout my professional career and college courses, I have had the opportunity to work with a huge amount of software and hardware. Some of my skills include:

• Music Composition: From electronic music to full orchestral productions I have made immersive, adaptive music for video games as well as for picture. I am capable of composing tracks of any intensity whether it be action or ambience to fit the mood of the project.

• Sound Design: Our world is full of sounds. Our media environments need to be as well. With a strong attention to detail, I fill the soundscape of my projects to make them realistic when necessary with a strong focus on immersion. By utilizing field recordings, foley and synthesized sounds I carefully craft all of my sound effects with your project in mind.

• Voice Acting/Directing & Demo Production: I have recorded several voice actors (including myself) to be the supporting voice for games and narration.

• VA Demo Reel Production: I have worked with several voice actors to help bring their demo reels to life with carefully crafted music and sound effects as well as scriptwriting, directing and mixing.

• Audio Implementation: I have been using FMOD for over 10 years now to implement audio into the projects I work on. I also have an intermediate knowledge of programming that helps me communicate with developers to work out the most efficient way to handle the sound engine in their games. I take a very collaborative approach between the sound and dev teams on every project.

• Music Production: With a background in audio engineering and music production, I am skilled in all aspects of recording acoustic instruments including tracking, microphone placement, mixing and mastering. I have recorded over 40 bands working as either an engineer or producer.

• Backing Vocals: One of my specialties is my ability to pick out harmonies and layer them to suit the production. I have performed in numerous bands and stage shows arranging multi-part harmonies to support the lead vocalists.

• Mixing: I have mixed multiple projects in studios with SSL and Sony mixing consoles. I have vast knowledge of signal chains/analog gear and do a huge amount of in-the-box mixing and sound processing.
