Hi, I’m Brian Smiths. With over 26 years of experience in producing shows, interviews, live broadcasts, and podcasts, I bring a deep knowledge of recording, editing, and delivering compelling audio experiences. I’ve collaborated with many hosts to book guests across multiple shows and have led teams to achieve top ratings and industry awards.
I excel at teamwork, conflict resolution, and turning ideas into polished performances. My hands-on background with single and multi-track editing, plus tools like Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, and Audacity, keeps me adaptable in fast-paced environments.
