JoshuaSounds Work
I enjoy working on many different projects but I gravitate towards commercial, corporate, interview, and documentary productions that make a difference. I also enjoy delivering clean audio when it seems that it is almost an impossibility. That truly brings a smile to my face, and to my clients.
