Available to hire
I’m Andrea Simula, born in Rome, with over 25 years in broadcast, audio, and video production for television and music. I’ve held senior roles across audio post-production, live music broadcasting, news, editing, and content distribution for Rai’s main channels, working with both modern analog and digital equipment. I design and install audio systems for recording, production, and rehearsal studios and configure DAWs, testing and finalizing audio/video setups.
Before the pandemic I spent time internationally—CEO of Millepora S.A. in Costa Rica, explored Foley sound effects studios in Patagonia, and collaborated with Latin American artists. Today I own a portable studio and can work remotely worldwide, continually refining skills in acoustics, signal flow, and multimedia delivery.
