I am always in awe of Riley. I can't believe how fast he edits. Turn away for a moment and you will miss 5 adjustments he just made to make that one phrase sound better. Sometimes I just watch him work with my mouth open. He is truly so masterful. I also love all the fx he puts on my voice. Working with him is always amazing. 5 stars every time!
