So why should you throw money at me?
My name’s Rel AKA MyToasterIsMoist!
I’m an audio engineer/sound designer (since 2014), musician/songwriter (since 2008), script writer (since 2013) and an ADR-experienced voice actor (since 2013)! I have first hand experience in two separate professional recording studios; recording my band's first album at Paul Sinclair’s studio in Mountain Top PA in 2014, as well as working with Joe Loftus (Motionless in White, Tiger’s Jaw) in Olyphant PA in 2024.
I also run a family music/vinyl shop! How does that add to my credibility you ask? It absolutely doesn’t! It just sounds cool!
Currently I have around 100 hours of sound design to my long ass username (demo reels, indie animation, SFM, parodies, anitubing, etc.), and I’ve mixed/produced 100+ voice acting demo reels since April 2020. To continue bragging about myself and inflating my own ego to incomprehensible proportions, I also have 8 albums (recording/mixing/mastering/writing) under my belt via my solo-music (Chemical Mother), as well as my band Docile Sponge. I also have experience doing sound design/making music for indie video games! Have I bragged enough yet? Did I also mention the fact that I can do a sick backflip? I feel like that’s important information to consider. Me being able to do a backflip 100% puts me above any other audio engineer on the face of the planet. I don’t make the laws, I just enforce them. (I also make them)
