Freelance Production Sound man for your shoots!
Servicing Los Angeles and beyond.
I have all my own gear.
I can also fully equip a dedicated Boom Operator.
I use the Schoeps CMIT 5 boom mic (doesn't care about wind noise and can warm up a room), DPA 6060 lav mics (easy to hide) for my Sennheiser G4 wireless systems, the Zoom F8 recorder, the Ambient Nano Lockit time code boxes for at least 2 cameras that support timecode, and the Ambient LockIt Smartslate.
I provide Comtek receivers to give you and a few other people a scratch track to listen in on or for reference audio for camera.
Once we are done shooting, I provide a USB cable to copy over the recorded audio onto your DIT system.
You will get 2 folders with both polywaves and grouped tracks.
My gear is compact but very effective as a great many of my repeat clients can attest to, with dedicated indoor and outdoor setups for easy mobility.
I can record wild lines wherever possible for the best takes if there are ever problems, as well as various on the spot foley effects to enhance the sound of a scene.
I also record voiceovers and ADR re-recordings, and any other special events that require audio production.
I am a problem solver for a wide variety of sound issues that will simplify your needs with a variety of sound solutions on set, and I always champion the Director and defer to their judgement.
That said, if I see an audio problem I will let you know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary adjustments.
I’m easy going and I know how to make talent feel comfortable but I always keep it on a professional level
so that I can get the audio recording needed for the scene.
I've been working in Production Audio since 2000 and have worked live events of all kinds since 1987.
Here’s a small write-up about me in the Santa Barbara Independent, under the tab of “Santa Barbara’s Unique Gigs”:

My love of audio recording comes from my experience as pro musician and engineer where we are "educated" about microphones and their uses instead of being "trained" on how to use them, along with how to maximize their potential.
I use my equipment based on my own experience over many shoots and can react to anomalies in the filming process or any audio problems, on the fly, with little or no down time.
I am highly tech savvy, and can be versatile whether it’s for someone's reel, a bigger production with multiple cameras, a corporate shoot, recording
a keynote speech, a virtual 360 shoot, a classroom recording, a live concert performance recording, with very efficient plans and setups to get the most out of your production.
Please give me a call and let's make your dream project come true!

Last year, I worked on several features in Florida, and ongoing features, sitcoms, and short PSA's for a local production company, as well as all kinds of talkshows, interviews, and voiceovers, including this conversation between Shanon Sharpe and Stephen Smith for "Club Shay Shay":
