Demo Engineers

Steve began his audio career in public radio, working for jazz station WBGO in Newark, NJ as a DJ and production assistant. After many live broadcasts and overnight air shifts, he moved to Los Angeles and hosted a weekly show on KKJZ in Long Beach. Though the weather was lovely, a return to the east coast was inevitable. In 2004, he began engineering for NPR and the BBC, recording everyone from Morgan Freeman and Pat Metheny to Barbara Walters and Bill Clinton.

Recognized for his quick editing abilities, positive studio attitude, supernatural powers, and amazing ear, Steve began producing commercial and narration voice over for major automotive, pharmaceutical, and financial industry Fortune 500 companies such as Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, and many others. Steve has constructed many home studios, on location recording setups, and anything else you could imagine involving the recording and reproduction of sound. He's magical.

When not in the studio, Steve can be found playing drums and guitar with several bands around New York or searching for vintage instruments to add to his illustrious collection.

Paul Levin's grandfather was a radio/television engineer in Boston, and his father Pete, and uncle Tony are both world class professional musicians, so when Paul showed a fascination for faders, knobs, and dials as a young child in his father's home studio, there was little doubt what career path he would follow. Almost 30 years later, Paul has developed a sterling reputation for reliability as an in-demand freelance "jack of all trades" for the post production community.

Beginning his career in 1995, Paul has become an expert in casting, recording, and directing the human voice. He"s recorded many celebrity voices, such as Julianne Moore, Tony Roberts, Busta Rhymes, Britney Spears, Ed McMahon, Lauren Bacall, James Earle Jones, Keith David, Joseph Fiennes, Mike Bloomberg, Russell Simmons, Rudy Julianni, Ed Koch, George Pataki, and many more. As an editor, Paul has helped to create countless radio and television commercials, hundreds of feature films, short films, television shows, corporate industrials, albums, and video games, for his clients; working on projects for Nintendo, Toys R Us, Pokemon, Discovery Communications, Bravo, Rock Star Games, EA Games, Major League Soccer, Major League Baseball, Food Network, Barrack Obama, John Kerry, Mike Bloomberg, and many, many more.

Best known for his work in shows like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, Sonic X, Kirby, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe Sigma Six, Chaotic, Jay feels fortunate that not a week goes by without doing something in animation.

He has also directed VO for years, on many anime series, audio books, and video games.

Mick left his home in the New Haven area of CT in 1996 to pursue a career in music. Since then he has moved around quite a bit, from Washington DC to San Francisco CA, and in and out of the New York area. He has worked in many studios over the years, mainly producing music for himself and others. He has also released over 40 recordings, many of which he produced and engineered from start to finish at his ever evolving home studio. His recording talents are a good fit for voice over with his quick ear, editing skills, strong work ethic, patience and positive attitude.

Always balancing his attention to detail with his sense of humor, Scott's skill set has evolved from his combined work as a professional musician and composer, audio engineer, educator, creative producer / director, and small business owner. To put all of that into perspective; he got his first multi-track recorder at age 13, began teaching music at 15, and was engineering and producing music and voice over projects in a pro studio at 19. In his 20's, Scott's time as a bandleader, co-host of a local television program, and ongoing work as an educator (doing lessons, workshops, and consulting for both music and recording technology) all honed his speaking and presentation skills, preparing him for what would come next: voice over.

In 2007, Scott began connecting with a number of radio, television, and advertising organizations, and was quickly receiving praise for his efficiency in producing, performing, and engineering commercials, short programming narration, jingles, and eventually audio books. His reputation earned him the opportunities to work on projects for Cisco Systems, the Department of Labor, California Tortilla, KidSave, Inspiration Productions LLC (audio books), Matthew Berry for Congress, and more. His work frequently airs on Washington DC radio stations like WMAL, WTOP, and WRQX.

Whether he's coaching voice over, teaching music, or showing aspiring engineers their way around a studio, Scott's approach to education is simple: make it fun, make it connect, and then make it natural. In doing so, he likes to identify the unique positives in a person, and then help them accentuate those things in their art. He believes that a strong bond between "being yourself" and "performing your craft" is key. These are the philosophies that have positioned him as a renowned jazz and world-music bassist, an award-winning engineer / producer, a highly-sought consultant and teacher, and a respected voice over coach and director.
