I've utilized Qlab, GarageBand, Audacity, and MuseScore.
I also have an understanding of both digital and analog mixers with the ability to set up sound systems.

Sound Effects Designer
Implemented 20 microphones and I led a sound team. I created a mic plot before we started. I also created ambiences for this show. During performances, I was live mixing.

Audio Engineer
Second time composing music, but it was the first time composing longer scores and with Musescore. I taught myself Music Theory. The Sound effects and ambiences were home made over the summer. I spent time in my house recording noises and then manipulating the audio in Audacity to sound crisp and professional.
As the Audio Engineer, I gave 5 actors mics with the reason that their characters were powerful beings and I wanted to put an emphasis on that. I set up a third-party hardware effects processor so then I could give the ability to change the pitches of character's voices.

With this verbatim play, there were breaks in between scenes to set the mood utilizing both composed music and sound effects together at the same time.
I composed these short scores in GarageBand while finding sound effects that fit the energy and making them work all in Qlab.
Sound Effects Designer
The Director and I both agreed the background ambiences needed to be deeply impactful as the scenes had many flash backs and time jumps. I recorded many sounds outside to capture that realism so the audience can relate more.

I created sound effects and many ambiences to set the mood. I also was the co-audio mixer. Working we a peer, I learned how to make a mic plot. This was also the beginning where I was taught how to EQ males and female's voices.

Boom Operator
I was the main Boom Operator for this short film and it was my first time. I learned how to handle sound in film rather than jut theatre. This short film ended up being rated Division I by a panel of judges from IHSA Film Competition.

When the group of Scottish women came along, The "drone ambience" stands out as it's connected to the them and is meant as symbolism. That was the main motif for the production and was recalled many times.
This production was entered in an IHSA competition. We moved onto Sectionals and then made it to State finals. I received an IHSA All Sectional and IHSA All State Award for best sound design.

Julius Caesar - 2021
Sound Effects Designer
Audio Mixer
First time I was asked to create some music during the epic battle of this show. I added trumpets, drums, and battle cries. Music played as Julius Caesar also died to truly leave an impact.
I also added a mic to Julius Caesar and gave him some reverb through the audio mixer when he came back as a ghost to give it more of a ghostly effect.
