• Preserve a consistent sonic identity across all videos and content formats.
• Ensure voice clarity, even tonal balance, and appropriate loudness for platforms such as YouTube, LMS, and social media.
• Apply LUFS targets, dynamic range control, and EQ balancing suited to the content type.

Equipment and Workflow Management

• Maintain, manage, and improve the audio equipment inventory, including microphones, interfaces, mixers, and monitoring systems.
• Recommend tools and technologies that can improve recording quality or speed up the workflow.
• Document and refine audio processes so handoffs between recording, post-production, and delivery remain smooth.

• Strong command of recording equipment such as Zoom F series, Sound Devices MixPre, Rode, Sennheiser, Shure, or similar professional tools.
• Hands-on experience with DAWs including Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, Fairlight, or Logic Pro.
• Working knowledge of plugins used for noise reduction, de-reverb, EQ, compression, and limiting.
• High attention to detail, especially for audio flaws, pacing, level consistency, and tonal balance.
• Ability to troubleshoot live sound problems quickly with minimal disruption on shoot days.
• Comfort working closely with cinematographers, directors, and editors in a collaborative environment.

Good to Have
