Available to hire
Hi, I’m Marty Lester. I’ve spent more than three decades in audio, working across recording studios, TV, film, radio, and live events. I own Everywhere Audio in Austin, where I handle recording, editing, mixing, and mastering for TV, radio, web, animation, and film, and I also do location sound for radio and SXSW comedy podcasts.
I’ve led multi-room studios, managed equipment and staff, and collaborated with producers to deliver immersive audio experiences, including 5.1 surround projects and Dolby processing. I’m passionate about solving audio challenges, keeping gear well-maintained, and helping creative teams bring performances to life.
