I am a freelance sound editor and sound designer with extensive experience in network radio sound engineering. I work in Pro Tools and use Waves Diamond effects package with a full suite of noise reduction plug-ins, and I also use Clarity as a very effective noise reduction tool. I worked for the BBC in network radio for many years and have excellent speech editing and sound design skills. I enjoyed the huge variety of people I worked with, from celebrities to members of the public. I'm a team worker and I am happy delivering broadcast-ready audio to tight deadlines. Recent projects include working as Sound Editor on the podcast series Would Like to Meet for Documental Productions. After taking time out to care for a relative, I am now working with the presenter on developing a new podcast series. I have designed sound for radio drama and documentaries. I worked on The Archers and Silver Street (an urban radio soap). It was great to find my input on plot, character and continuity was valued as much as my technical work. I write short stories and articles. I enjoy visiting art galleries and museums, regularly visiting London to catch up with art exhibitions and London theatre.…
