Hi! I'm Dale from Vancouver, Canada. I specialize in music composition, arrangement, & production, voiceover narration, and sound design. I have my own company called Skogen Studios, providing these services on a freelance/contractual basis. During the last year I was involved as the composer and sound designer for "Eve: Dance Is An Unplaceable Place" a Virtual Reality (VR) dance production. The performance continues to tour around the world and has recently been awarded the VR Grand Prize at the Kaohsiung Film Festival in Taiwan and earlier the 2019 Grand Prix at the Laval Virtual showcase in France. From 2014-2018 I was based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. During this time I had some great opportunities working with clients throughout the Middle East. I've been fortunate to voice projects for some well-known companies including the Airbus Group, Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways, Mercedes-Benz Middle East, Infiniti/Nissan Motors, Cadillac Automobile Company, Kinder Chocolate, Meraas Development, Pizza Hut, and Google AdWords. My fees/day rate varies depending on the size of the project as well as my role(s). Please feel free to get in touch and we can figure out a plan to make it work! --- **Employment and project experience** **Skogen Studios** _Managing Director/Owner_ August 2018 - Present Vancouver, Canada Visit _Website not available.
