Audio Docs

I’ve been making audio documentaries and features since 2006. As an independent audio documentarian and sound artist, I most often use a Zoom H5 portable audio recorder or Sound Devices Mix Pre 6 recorder, RODE NTG-2 shotgun mic and Electrovoice dynamic omni mic, but I also like to experiment with hydrophones, ambisonic mics and contact microphones. I like to edit on ProTools or Reaper, and also have experience editing and mixing on Audition and Dalet. Contact me for audio documentary and narrative podcast story editing and development quotes. In addition to my paid work, every year I take on a limited number of sliding scale and pro bono clients as a story editor and consultant for projects led by creators under-represented in the audio industry.

I am also open to audio documentary and sound art commissions and multidisciplinary artistic collaborations.

Here is a selection of my audio documentary work:

Visiting Day is a short animated documentary for The Local featuring interviews and sound I recorded and edited with a 17-year-old girl visiting her father in prison. Click on the image to listen and watch.
