AUDIO PRODUCTION DEMO REEL

1 - Radio promo project

Promo production

For this project, I took multiple voice talent recordings and applied compression, EQ and reverb effects to make them stand out and sound different. I then layered sound effects and music, as well as station imaging sounds, to add depth to the radio promo.

​

2 - PSA project

Sound design

In this project, I utilized professionally recorded sound effects - wind, trees rustling, fire crackling, plastic bag rustling - and mixed them together in Pro Tools to create an outdoors-style environment in a public service announcement about wildfire prevention. I combined these with recordings of two different male voices to create dialogue.

3 - Depth of Field podcast - Olga Loganova

Audio enhancing

The recording of this interview Patty Williamson did with Olga Loganova took place in the studio at Moore Hall 315B, where there is soundproofing that reduces background noise. The recording was done with Adobe Audition. In post-production, I applied compression and EQ to make the talent’s voices stand out better and make their volume more consistent, and edited out “ums” and “ahs” to make the conversation flow smoothly.

4 - “Passing the Mike” podcast (CM-Life)

Active listening

In my interview with Riot Course, I asked a series of interview questions pertaining to life on the road and recording music, coming up with new ones as the conversation went along. I listened to what the band was telling me and used that to decide which of my questions to ask next, in order to help the interview flow along. In this example, I asked what the songwriting process is like.

5 - 60-second newscast: Delta College faculty votes to unionize

Public speaking

I read a news script which I wrote using information I gathered for the story from an interview with a Delta faculty member. My anchor read was recorded in Adobe Audition, and edited to include a sound byte from the interview subject, which I introduced.

6 - Audio news package: Vin Trofeo’s

News package production

This project was more advanced than the 60-second newscast mentioned earlier. Not only is this a longer news package (clocking in at 2 minutes), it also includes natural sound, which I recorded separately from my interview with the owner of Vin Trofeo’s restaurant. I used a portable recorder to capture ambient sound inside the restaurant, and had this playing up and under in post production.
