Greetings! My name is David, and I am a musician and audio engineer. I am a bright, curious, and driven individual, and I find enjoyment in completing tasks to the best of my ability, especially if it's a task in which I can have fun.
As a musician, I am proficient on violin and multiple saxophones (soprano, alto, and tenor), and I am a skilled vocalist, both in regards to singing and voice acting. For non-voice acting, I have only acted on stage in a college musical (so far).
I am also proficient with Avid Pro Tools and Adobe Audition, preferring to use the former for most of my audio mixing and mastering.
