"I am new to podcast audio engineering, however I would love to combine my love for music with a genuine interest in global affairs to create thought provoking podcasts.
I have genuine love and passion for producing and composing music. I am especially interested in the opportunity to collaborate creatively with music composers who are providing new content for the podcasts and using my experience to compose original music and collaborate with technical manager on sound design and mixing for narrative series.
Over 10 years of working remotely as a freelance music producer and audio mixer has particularly enabled me to refine my skills when receiving audio of varying quality. After listening to and assessing the audio for a new project, using iZoptope RX I can clean up the audio before continuing to layer with other tracks utilizing creative plug-ins such as Echoboy, Waves and UAD to create the perfect audio. I enjoy the challenge of working with multiple projects and pride myself on keeping up to date audio software and creative plug-ins. I have a keen attention to the detail needed to create the perfect sound for each specific project I work on."
This website is a growing directory of people of color who work in audio around the world. You’ll find editors, hosts, writers, producers, sound designers, engineers, project managers, musicians, reporters, and content strategists with varied experience from within the industry and in related fields.
It’s both a place for employers to find POC candidates, and a place where POC can find each other for meetups, collaborations, advice and so on, which means that not everyone you’ll see on here is actively looking for a job.
To our POC family: we see you and we stand with you. Let’s continue to support each other.
If you’re an employer, we need to talk.

While recruiting diverse candidates is a great first step, it’s not going to be enough if we want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future. Let us be clear: this isn’t about numbers alone. This is about getting the respect that people of color—and people of different faiths, abilities, ages, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientation—deserve. So before you get started, here are the Terms of Service:
I will pay employees a living wage.
I will consider the ways in which my workspace might be hostile to people of color and find concrete ways to support their contributions and wellbeing.
I will continually reflect on how my networks, taste, curiosity, comfort and values are shaped by my race, class, gender, where I grew up, the media I consume, and the fact that we live in a white supremacist culture. This takes time. It will require vulnerability, and a commitment to ongoing learning.
I understand that this directory is not ZipRecruiter, and that expanding my hiring practices requires that I dedicate some time to engaging with potential candidates in a deeper way than simply scanning their years of industry experience.
