Available to hire
Hi, I’m Jack Heidelman. I’m a Senior Audio Producer with 8+ years of experience leading high-volume audiobook production from casting through delivery. I regularly manage 10–20 concurrent titles, owning schedules, budgets, and vendor relationships to ensure on-time releases.
I’m known for building scalable workflows, maintaining high creative standards, and collaborating with publishers and rights holders to align production with release goals. I direct casting, recording sessions (studio and remote), oversee editors and proofers, and drive process improvements that boost efficiency and consistency across large catalogs.
