Sound Design

Overview

For over 10 years, I worked in live entertainment most often as a Theatrical Sound Designer. From Broadway to the smallest club, I have broad experience deploying, managing, and designing sound systems. In addition, I have designed many shows which includes content creation and curation.

Selected Shows

Here's a small selection of shows that I was involved with:

Ain't Too Proud

I was first the A2 on the pre-broadway tour of Ain't Too Proud then for the Broadway move I was the Assistant Sound Designer. Ain't Too Proud was nominated for a Tony in Sound Design.

Here's an example of a drawing:

SpongeBob the Musical (1st National Tour)

SpongeBob the Musical is a hero's journey where SpongeBob and friends battle a volcano named Mount Humongous. As Associate Sound Designer, my work involved creating system drawings, sound effect modification, multi-track playback programming, and show control programming.

Here's a signal flow from the show:

The Tempest - The Julliard School

The director wanted this show deconstructed with little realistic scenery. Initially, we used sound effects to help define the abstraction, but eventually, we transitioned to having the actors do all the sound effects with objects found on the set.

Here are some sound effects before they were moved to the actors:
