My Voice Experience

I have been recording voices since I was 13 and I am 50 now! I started off in drama, and am now a DJ on a radio station, playing all the old hits!

I have presented live TV in South Africa, such as Lotto, Road 2 Riches and News, and have done voices all over the country!

My Training

I have a degree in Marketing, which helps me understand why you want to use my voice!

My Studio Equipment

I personally have a MAC Book pro for editing, but utilize outside studios for my recording needs.

These include the following :

The latest Pro Tools Software and hardware connected via fibre optics to a Yamaha digital mixer.
Pro Tools is powered by an Apple Mac connected to two 19 inch LCD Screens. The work is monitored through Tannoy Speakers and can be also be monitored on a mono Auratone speaker in order to reference what the mix would sound like through a Radio or Television.
When mixing sound to picture, your edit is routed to a 42 inch Sony Plasma Screen. Recording voices can be done in either of the two separated booths fitted with Neumann, M-Audio and CAD Microphones.
Studio 1 also has a CD Player, Dual Cassette Deck & DAT Machine for those still hording ancient material recorded on ancient technology!
Studio 1 is connected via tie lines to the Sonovision CAR (central apparatus room) (dubbing bay) for patching to other machines such as Betacam SP, DVD Recorder, VHS, U-matic, ISDN and Telephone Hybrid units located there.

All of our Audio Suites are equipped with wireless internet access
