He works on a full-spec 2020 MacBook Pro running Adobe's Audition 2023 edition. He owns some top-class studio microphones for voice-over work: a Neumann U87, a Microtech Gefell UM900, M940, and M930Ts so he can capture sweeping variations in timbre and tonality depending on your needs and every project he works on. He also has a range of preamps and interfaces including a classic Focusrite Red 6, a Manley VoxBox, a Sound Devices USB Pre2, and a Centrance Mixerface R4R when he's out and about. If you require additional services, Carel is a seasoned professional commercial copywriter, so he can help fine-tune a script for maximum impact. (As an aside, he's an author of several published biographies of South African celebrities in both English and Afrikaans, as well as a novel in Afrikaans).
