Hi - I'm Adriaan Hellenberg. Do you... (1) want your audio project done properly the first time at a good price? Or (2) do you want to take a chance on an unqualified video editor or translator, claiming they are audio professionals? Many clients choose option 2 and then find their way to option 1 after spending unnecessarily on option 2. Audio is not video editing or translation. It's a specialised creative and technical industry that requires extensive technical knowledge and expertise. I have 25 years experience working in technical audio location, creative sound design and post production and have a Masters degree in Audio Production from the SAE Institute ratified by the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. I am the most experienced and educated audio engineer available on this site. I am also a voice artist with experience directing and recording voice artists. I can do an American or neutral English accent. Moreover, I have extensive experience working with AI Voices from ads to audiobooks. I train AI for the best emotive and connecting experience - as not to be able to distinguish the AI from a human performance. I can also publish your book on Amazon Kindle. I am in the top 1.2% on this site and have been working online for 9 years, ranking within the top 1000 out of approximately 81 Million users on this site. You can be assured of great quality audio delivered within deadline. I have been part of teams to win SATV & Film Awards & an International Promax Award. I have worked on Emmy nominated Productions and worked on unscripted reality shows on location and in final mix, recorded studio shows for tv live and managed audio departments for television production companies. I can provide video editing services for corporate, online and personal projects. Software: Protools, Reaper, Ableton, Final Cut Pro, Plugins and Specialised Software.

I am a human that creates and mixes sounds for other humans so we can all connect, like humans. Leveraging of computer devices is mandatory of course, but we don't let them take over :-) Connect with me and let's tell your tale.
