Available to hire
Hi, I’m Veema Bhantoa-Newman. I’m an audio engineer with an MSc in Audio Engineering and more than 10 years of experience across orchestral, live band, soloist, spoken word, and storytelling projects. I enjoy the full spectrum of the sound production process—from recording and editing to mixing and mastering—and I thrive in collaborative studio environments.
After taking a career break to undertake my Masters and raise a young family, I am looking to re-establish my career in the audio industry. I bring strong technical skills, a calm approach under pressure, and a commitment to helping performers realise their best work.
