Approach & Process
A disciplined, transparent workflow designed for institutional clients who value reliability, clear communication, and consistent quality.
Narration Philosophy
Institutional Clarity
Every word serves the content. I prioritize comprehension, pacing that allows reflection, and pronunciation that honors terminology—whether Latin scientific names, historical figures, or cultural references.
Scholarly Tone
Authority without condescension. Engagement without informality. My delivery conveys expertise and invites curiosity, appropriate for audiences seeking knowledge and intellectual depth.
Respect for Material
Museum exhibits, academic research, and documentary content represent years of scholarship. I approach each script with the gravity it deserves, ensuring my voice enhances rather than distracts from the subject matter.
Consistency Across Projects
Whether voicing a single exhibit panel or a multi-episode documentary series, I maintain tonal cohesion, ensuring a unified listening experience across all deliverables.

Workflow
1. Script Intake & Review
You provide the script, reference materials, and any pronunciation guides. I review for clarity and flag any questions regarding tone, pacing, or technical terminology.
2. Tone Alignment
Before full recording, I provide a sample read to ensure alignment on delivery style, pacing, and overall tone. This avoids costly re-records and ensures we're on the same page.
3. Recording & Mastering
Full production recording with professional post-production. Files are mastered to your specifications and organized for easy integration into your project.
4. Revisions
Minor adjustments (pronunciation corrections, pacing tweaks, or re-reads of specific sections) are included. Major script changes or tone shifts may require additional sessions.
5. Delivery
Final files delivered via secure transfer in your preferred format: WAV, MP3, AIFF, or others. Files are labeled clearly and organized by section, chapter, or exhibit panel as needed.
