Creating and sourcing the perfect audio to make dozens of projects sing.
As someone with a lifelong passion for music new and old, hits and deep cuts, I love to match the right song to the right creative piece. In my work supervising music, I’ve built deep experience licensing tracks, scouring stock library music, and creating a brand new songs from scratch. And when it comes to VO, I’m skilled at working with top voice casting agencies, recognizing the best auditions, and leading recording/mixing sessions to create a final piece greater than the sum of its parts.
Audio Supervision Process
For projects where budget is tight, I pride myself on having the technical and procedural knowledge to personally execute a lot of audio functions pertaining to creative work. But in my experience as an agency creative director, I’ve also developed amazing partners and resources to contract for world-class audio services.
Coldwell Banker: Original Composition + VO
For our “Dream” campaign, I casted Maya Tuttle as voice over talent and worked with my friends at CAYA Music to create an original composition for the commercials.
Coldwell Banker: Synced Music Track
As part of their 20th anniversary package of their most iconic album, I saw that the Flaming Lips had an instrumental version of “Do You Realize??” — it ended up fitting perfectly with this execution.
Coldwell Banker: Synced Music Track
I had always liked Spoon’s “The Underdog,” and thought it would make a great commercial track. When the opportunity arose to use it in this ad, the client loved the vibe it created.
Coldwell Banker: Synced Music Track + VO
When I was working on this longer video, I had recently watched Danny Boyle’s 2007 film, Sunshine, and was struck by its beautiful climatic orchestral piece. The track helped take our video to a whole new emotional level, and was a hit when played live at the client’s big conference. I also casted new VO talent to deliver the script in a way matched the rest of the tone.
Electrameccanica: Synced Music Track
I selected BRONCHO’s track, “Class Historian,” to accompany our marquee execution for Electrameccanica’s Solo vehicle, titled “Morning in Malibu.”
Electrameccanica: Stock Music Tracks
For the Electrameccanica client, I also dug through hundreds of stock tracks from different libraries to find more affordable options that didn’t lack energy or interestingness.
Electrameccanica: Synced Music Exploration
When we were working on a new edit for Electrameccanica, I was exploring two different vibes for the music. One was a more vintage vibe with a lyrical connection: “Electricity” by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. The other was one of my all-time favorite house tracks: “Miura” by Metro Area.
A/V Production
My hobbies include music production and DJing, and over the years I’ve executed events, videos, and livestreams that depend on complicated audio visual setups.
