WILLIAM NEAL, AUDIO PERFECTIONIST

I make things sound great - everything from studio music to live theatrical productions.

Sound is my passion. I graduated from New York University's Master’s Degree program in Music Technology, refining my technical skills with computer music luminaries such as Robert Rowe, Joel Chadabe, Luke DuBois, and Dafna Naphtali. From psychoacoustics to music perception to the zeros and ones of digital signal processing, all the knowledge and tools I acquired there, I now channel into my work.

Sound is one of the most powerful and versatile communication tools available. It is also a very subtle medium that is easily marred by technical imperfections. I help my clients to communicate their sonic messages clearly, effectively, and memorably - every time.

CREATIVE BACKGROUND

I have been composing, recording, and performing my own original music for over 15 years. My music has been featured on stage, film, television, and on the fashion runway. I have appeared in venues across North America, including performances in Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, DC, and New York, where I made my solo debut at the legendary CBGB.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Musical Theatre from University of Miami and in the following years worked extensively in South Florida as a professional singer and actor. I also composed the score and co-wrote the script for an innovative multimedia musical comedy called Divas!, which was presented in part at ASCAP’s Musical Theatre Workshop in Miami, directed by Oscar and Grammy award winner Stephen Schwartz.

I continue to record and perform as a solo artist and am a frequent visitor to Amsterdam and Berlin, my "homes-away-from-home".

I am a member of ASCAP and the Audio Engineering Society.
