Kent Hertz on SoundBetter

I am creatively and perpetually, seeking like-minded people that will help fuel my desire for successful and professional projects.

I wish to work with people who will be open and receptive to feedback, brainstorming and creative construction. I bring a light but structured attitude so that others feel more comfortable to give me 100% of their focus. I enjoy communication and describing what needs to be conveyed and created using my vision for telling a concise story.

Life is a collaboration effort, It's meant to be shared..:)

    Kent is a total pro! He mastered an audio book for us, removed some mouth noises, softened breaths and it sounds amazing. A+

    Kent is the man. He has taken recordings that were bland and lifeless and really turned them into something special. He has been easy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results

    Kent was a gracious person to work with, he took me up on a proposal and worked very quickly.

    110% is how people describe others who go beyond what is expected. In that extra 10% + they give us their true talent, experience and a bit of their essence. This is exactly what Kent Hertz has done for my 2 latest projects. I've never worked with someone with his level of expertise. Thank You for helping me and I look forward to future projects!
