Let me preface this by saying that dialogue cleanup is a huge part of my jo,b both in post and for my podcast work, it happens every day, and I have the necessary tools to pull the best out of damaged or poorly recorded audio. I am an accomplished Post-Production Sound Engineer with more than 25 years experience in the Advertising, TV Broadcast, Digital Content Creation & Documentary making industries, bringing with me a diligent and flexible attitude to all aspects of my job, whether track-laying, mixing, recording and directing voiceovers or producing sound design. I have a successful track record delivering high quality and varied broadcast material for many of London's biggest agencies, media companies and production companies, working on high profile brand campaigns and both short and long-form broadcast material. Having worked directly with advertising agencies and related companies in and around the UK, I understand instinctively how they operate and am completely adept at making sure that their people-facing experience is pleasant and trouble free. I have considerable experience in directing voices and voiceover sessions and pride myself at being able to communicate effectively and expediently to ensure I attain the best results while creating a positive and relaxed working environment. I am equally at home track-laying an unattended session or at the helm of a time pressured, attended studio session and feel no pressure maintaining a balance between creativity and expediency.
