Most interesting recent project?
Music workshop programmes. Specially written songs on a theme. Listening and watching experts in the music field is fascinating.
never work with children or animals?
Never say never - you don't have a choice if the script dictates it. Just about anything is possible - and you just have to find the easiest way of achieving it.

Broadcast Assistant
Job Description
Book contributors, actors and studios. See that contracts are in place. Make sure that all the necessary 'paperwork' is done after the programme is completed and broadcast. (Most of my work is initiated and stored electronically nowadays). In the studio I record audio and make notes to assist the edit and sometimes do preliminary editing of the speech recordings.
Key Kit
Packet of sweets. Gets everyone through a recording and editing session. Lots of things I wouldn't be without : scripts (clearly formatted and numbered, with front page telling you who's in it, where, when). Stopwatch. Pencil. Coloured pens. CDs or some medium to back up your recording. Large bag to carry everything about!
Work Biography
