Asher is available for

Pretty much any task in audio production! I am a fast learner, a creative problem solver, a great collaborator, a talented composer, I have an ear for content, and I know my way around several DAWs. I think I'd be a valuable asset to your team.

"Have an idea for a podcast but no technical savvy? Got a story or a script you’d like to see brought to life as an audio drama or audiobook? Got a handle on things with your podcast and just need to outsource a task or two? You’re in the right place. Cicada Radio is a full service podcast production house, and we are at your service!"

Also fully able to perform audio syncs or anything else you might need.

Here's a list of services from my website:

Recording
You have a voice, we have microphones. And everything else needed to record your podcast.

We have a huge rolodex of highly talented local voice actors from diverse backgrounds that we can hire to read your scripts. Or whatever.


Editing
We will happily take a long, meandering recording and cut it down to a cohesive story arc.

But sometimes all you need is to have all the ‘uh’s and coughs taken out.


Sound Design & Music
We can create cinematic sound design with sound effects and scoring and onsite recording for your audio drama.

Or, a short jingle for the top of your podcast with some atmospheric sound peppered throughout.

Or anything in between


Mixing
Your podcast consists of quite a few moving parts. You’ve picked out music & soundbites; you’ve recorded and edited your interview and narration. You just need someone to put it all together…

And make it sound great!


Distribution
We can build a website to host and distribute your podcasts to all major platforms and podcatchers.

Whether that website has an audience-facing component or not is up to you.

About Asher

After I completed my graduate work in music composition and made a pivot away from formal music towards a greater interest in storytelling thru sound, I returned to New Orleans where I've worked as a freelance sound designer in live theater, an audio engineer for film and live events, a recordist, editor, composer, and producer (&c) since. During that time I've won two awards for sound design: Outstanding Sound Design from the Kennedy Center 2016 ACTF, and Best Play from the New Orleans Gambit’s 2019 Big Easy Awards. 

In 2018 I founded my own audio media production house called Cicada Radio, a storytelling network focused on environmental justice, racial equity, and artistic expression. In addition to working on the company, I regularly work as a boom op/sound mixer for film and TV, I continue to do sound design for live theater, and perform audio syncs.
