There are a lot of skills underneath my umbrella of being a Sound Engineer & Vocal Producer:

1. Vocal Engineer - Recording the vocals
2. Vocal Producer - getting the best performance and helping to create backgrounds/harmonies; adding creative ideas vocally or technologically
3. Vocal Editor - comp (create the best take from all the takes), tune, and align vocals (correct timing)
4. Vocal Mixer - balance levels, EQ, compress, add all other effects

If you need a Vocal Engineer, you can book a studio through me and I will work with you there.
If you already have the vocals recorded, you can send me sessions or the stems of the vocals to edit, produce, and mix (no need to ever be there in person if you can't).

I am also a demo singer. If you need me to create harmonies and backgrounds, I can do that too. I am a classically trained singer who has experience in the Pop, R&B, and Jazz genres.

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

Alissa is a wizard! I worked with a few other recording engineers before but her approach and ability to make you feel comfortable in the studio puts her on the top of my list. She has a great ear for music which lent itself wonderfully whenever my vocals were a little off. She's top notch, I highly recommend Alissa's services!

Alissa was the first vocal producer I had ever worked with in a session and now I don’t think I can go back! She helps you carefully craft each part of your song while you’re in the booth. She pushed me out of my comfort zone as well as made sure we were getting the perfect comp on each line of the song. It makes such a difference with the output when you have someone like Alissa helping you along the way! 10/10 would recommend for any artist at any level!
