Tobi Alder
@tobialder
French audio annotator and voice talent with LocaleCap, writing French product copy and recording in a treated studio.
What I'm looking for
At LocaleCap, I wrote French product copy and user-facing documentation for a bilingual French/English interface, writing for French speakers rather than translating English. I also authored bilingual Terms & Conditions grounded in Beninese law.
My French is native, with formal university coursework in French letters and active exposure to West African, Hexagonal, and Canadian varieties. I bring familiarity with regional vocabulary, prosody, and French/local-language code-switching in Beninese speech.
I record, mix, and master original music in Logic Pro and FL Studio using a treated home studio and analog outboard chain. I also edit vocals by comping takes, correcting timing and pitch, and removing disfluencies and room noise.
I built ChordChaos, a C++/JUCE Audio Unit plugin for Logic Pro that generates chords across 11 scales and supports MIDI export. I’m applying for multilingual audio annotation and voice work, and I’m available fully remote from the continental US.
