About
Hi, I'm Sophie, also known as Tallulah Goodtimes, AND the Audio Doula. This nickname was coined during the recording of an audiobook for author and friend, Sophie Leone, and her book The Book of Revelations.
It came about as I helped to guide her through the process of getting into the right headspace to bring out the best in the read of her book, taught her mic technique, walked her through the process, and finished the project with a stunning result. "You're like an audio doula, Soph" she told me.
A doula is a non-medical professional who provides emotional and practical support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and after the baby is born. And if we switch out baby for audio, then the description is spot on! So here we are!
Guiding the process
I understand that navigating audio projects can be confusing. And that you might be looking for someone to say "yes, I get it, here's how it can be done".
Having spent my life in headphones in one way, shape or form, working on some brilliant projects, dedicating my life to audio and sound, I can help you realise your audio project and bring your best ideas to life ideas with expertise in audio, an enjoyable process, and excellence in the final result.
I work with individuals and businesses.
My clients in audio projects have included fitness professionals, creative and marketing agencies, event agencies, PR firms, writers, franchise businesses, and radio stations. If you're creative, forward-thinking, and looking for a helping hand to create something brilliant, let's talk.
Excellence in audio, a helping hand
In some areas of life, perfectionism can be a pain, yet here in my audio world it is an asset. Attention to detail, joy in the minutaie of sound and our perception of it. I have a love of being in my zone of genius and helping others in their zone of genius. Together, we will be unstoppable.
Purpose
"My personal purpose as a producer and audio engineer is to play a part in redressing the balance of women in music and the creative industries. The simple fact is there are fewer women in this role and I'm fiercely proud to represent. My desire is to flood the world with beautiful audio that has impact, and to create a nurturing space and ethos to bring it to life".
A nurturing, inclusive approach
Although I don't work exclusively with women, I recognise the importance of creating a space where everyone can feel confident in the creation of their audio projects.
In pursuit of amazing audio
Beautiful audio has a power, a resonance, and the capacity to resonate with listeners whether a spoken word piece, music or a combination of both.
Carefully placed effects can heighten and enhance the emotional experience of sounds for the listener. And as a business owner or creative, shining a light your brilliance through beautiful audio can elevate your offering, and in my opinion, ought to be the gold standard.
I believe play, connection, curiosity, and a positive and relaxed mind are essential to the greatest creative output, so I put that philosophy to work in the studio, and use it as a basis to help deliver your best audio work yet.
Collaboration and team player
Think of me as an extra member of your team who specialises in audio. I love working as part of a team, and working independently to get the job done.
My work
I've selected some of the audio projects I've worked on over the years, which you can listen to below.
A match made in heaven?
Whether you want the Audio Doula to handle it all, to slot into a wider team, or to coach you in how to do it yourself, drop me a line and let's talk.
I look forward to meeting you.
