Hi I'm QJ, and here to help singers, speakers, musicians, podcasters, and vlogers UP their online (and live) sound to 'HIGH'.
14 years in the music biz, first as a musician, then sound engineer, record producer, studio owner, and label owner. 13 years as a producer of radio commercials, radio drama, and speech-based comms for corporates, working with top VOs, gives me a head start!

“Speakers have to realise that if they're dropping their fee now, because they're doing stuff virtually, they're basically saying, ‘You are paying us for our time.’ Not ‘You are paying me for my experience, and for my knowledge and for what I am going to give to you in terms of value.’
Listen, if I was a buyer right now and I saw that you would speak for me for £250, in six months’ time, whether it's virtual or whether it's real, you are worth £250, that's all the value you're giving.
And that's the industry challenge.”
