AUDIO

Audio is my thing. recording, editing, mixing, syncing, everything, all with equipment specialized for the situation. Some of my work — including multilayered production, scene audio, voiceover and music composition — below.

Self-guided audio tour, Mt. Hope Cemetery, Raleigh, N.C. Visited a beautiful, historic home to record longtime tour-guides’ voices for the production. Mixed for outdoor headphone listening. Intro narration is me. Gov’t client. Reduced-quality sample track.

Shot and edited in a day, Dial Media teamed up with sound engineer Ben Brown to bring you the Audio-Technica AT2022 experience. Put your headphones on.

Demonstration of one of Audio Technica’s cool stereo microphones. All sound effects and narration are me.

This project was a collab with Dial Media, whose video skills are +++.

I’ve captured loads of stereo field recordings like these, which are great for lifting production value in a video.

A couple more examples below of stereo field recordings that can add cinematic value to video — or just provide a relaxing listen. (Put on headphones!)

When a student archaeologist was dropped off in a Montgomery County cotton field in 1937 to investigate a problematic Indian mound, there’s no way he could have known the project would last 50 years. Joffre Lanning Coe would develop academic archaeology in North Carolina and establish the state’s only historical site dedicated to archaeology at Town Creek. But just down the road, a town doctor was busy becoming one of the most prolific artifact collectors of his generation. Clifton Dowell earned his Certificate in Documentary Arts from CDS in 2007. He works as a journalist in Raleigh.

I also do voiceover and compose music for film, and did both for the great documentary “Trace” by Clifton Dowell. He gave me an idea of the sound he was after: folky but now, with atmosphere, so I tracked with my dad’s old Silvertone acoustic, added sparse percussion, and subtle synth.

This film premiered at the Full Frame Theater in Durham, N.C. via the Duke University Center for Documentary Studies in summer 2018.

Additionally, I record and edit podcasts, which you can check out on this site as well.

Oh, and I love doing phone-tree voiceover. Here’s an example, as you’d hear it over the phone. If this tone works for you, let’s talk.
