“…and the music’s too loud…”
It’s the audio production equivalent of “make the logo bigger.” In my 20 years of production, I’ve never heard a spot I mixed on the air in which the music competed with the VO, but I’ve heard plenty that made me wonder why we bothered to put music in the spot. It has to do[…]

Haircuts
We recently had the pleasure of producing a series of radio spots for our friends at Stone Ward for Sport Clips, who position themselves as “America’s haircut place for men and boys.” Now, I was not quite thirty when my receding hairline pushed me into my current haircut “style”, a word I use loosely. Nowadays,[…]

Extreme Measures
Speaking of Martin, here’s a nice piece that we worked on for Red Deluxe and their client, Youth Villages. Along with the excellent visuals, that’s yours truly doing the non-announcer voice over, with some really nice licensed music and subtle sound design. About Scott MinorMail | More Posts(23)

Corporate Anthem FAIL
The assignment: write and record a school song/national anthem for a sports team that sounds like a huge men’s chorus. Demo it up in less than a week. We really had fun doing it. We listened to a lot of school songs. Sellout came up with the composition. Singers were hired. We had a concert[…]

Sound Design in the Sky
One of my favorite bits of the job is working with actors: finding a character, creating an emotional context, honing a performance. Occasionally we get to put that aside and simply work with un-narrated visuals, like this piece for Intake Studio. And you know what? That’s darn fun too. About Scott MinorMail | More Posts(23)

Playtime
Another in the “Recent Work” catagory: This spot makes me smile. Friendly VO, nice music and sound effects work that celebrates the playful vibe of the visuals. After trying several approaches on the car sound, we decided that the toy-box look needed a toy-box sound. Foley lip-buzzing by yours truly, modded with a “bubbly” vocoder[…]

Sweeet Home Alabama!
This is a funny time of year. Some days, posts that look real turn out to be a joke, and then things that look like a joke turn out to be real.. like this! The Leningrad Cowboys, with the Red Army Chorus, booming out Lynyrd Skynyrd finest. Oh my, this is the perfect day-after-April-fools-day rock[…]
