G'day! I'm Marty, sound engineer and producer at Echidna Audio in Sydney.

By day I record audiobooks, podcasts and voiceovers with authors and creators. In between, I make free videos and guides testing the tools shaking up our industry, AI voice cloning, home recording setups, audiobook production workflows are in the works. so self-publishers and audio fiends can figure out what's worth their time and money before they spend either.

That's the stuff you can't really charge for, but it takes real hours: researching, testing, filming, editing, usually after the studio lights go off.

If a video saved you time, money, or a headache, a coffee keeps the next one coming. ☕

Every contribution goes straight back into the content, gear for demos, software to test, and the caffeine that powers the editing sessions. This year I went all-in on creative production full time, and support from people who get value from my work genuinely makes the difference.

Got a topic you want me to test or break down? Supporter suggestions go to the top of the list.
