What I'm looking for

I’m looking for flexible independent-contractor work, from occasional task-based assignments to full-time weeks. I’m equipped for remote work and happy to work through contractor platforms.

At Location Recording Ltd, I record dialogue, effects, ambience and music for feature documentaries, factual television and drama for BBC, Netflix, Sky, ITV, Channel 4, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.

I capture and manage multi-track audio, timecode and metadata through to edit-suite delivery. On location, I operate and troubleshoot recording and RF systems in remote and difficult acoustic environments.

My credits include The Real Mo Farah, The Louis Theroux Interviews and In Vogue: The 90s. My work has also featured in productions recognized with BAFTAs and other award nominations.

I also bring experience mixing front of house for touring bands and recording voice and speech to technical specifications. I’m based in East London, fully equipped for remote work, and available for task-based work or full-time weeks as an independent contractor.
