Home Studio

While I am always happiest working on location in a professional recording environment, I do all of my auditions and quite a bit of my final recordings from my home recording booth. This recording space can be heard on all of my demos and audiobooks and has been vetted by an eminent industry recording engineer.

I use industry standard equipment and have multiple microphones, interfaces, and computers on-hand to ensure that hardware failures can never end a recording session.
