AUDIO PRODUCER / SOUND DESIGNER
Worked with several independent screenwriters coordinating and producing TABLE-READ throughs of scripts as well as audio plays.
With a table read, writers find out early on what works, what flows and what needs tightening, honing or adapting.
With some, I also added Foley and music to enable a showcase version - and have also made some into AUDIO PLAY/PODCASTS.
I organised and coordinated the projects from start to finish; from proofreading and editing the script (or making suggestions) to finding the talent, booking the recording session(s), engineering the recordings, also edited the audio and refined and mixed them.
