Seabrook Business Waves - Audio Podcast & Visual Adaptation

Seabrook Business Waves was a monthly audio podcast highlighting Seabrook business owners and entrepreneurs. The series ran for one year as a pilot program under the city’s economic development efforts, offering listeners behind-the-scenes insight into local commerce and innovation.

In addition to engineering the audio sessions, I produced visualized versions of each episode for YouTube by combining transcripts, waveform animations, and open captions using Adobe After Effects. This dual-format approach made the content accessible to both audio and visual audiences while preserving professional consistency across platforms.

• Audio Engineering: Managed live recording sessions with two-person setups, handling mic levels, signal routing, and real-time monitoring from the sound board.
• Post-Production Mixing: Cleaned and balanced dialogue tracks, reducing background noise and ensuring clarity for distribution.
• Motion Graphics & Captioning: Designed and animated custom audio visualizers and open caption systems in After Effects using transcript data.
• Publishing Coordination: Delivered mastered audio and synced visual versions formatted for podcast platforms and YouTube.
• Accessibility & Engagement: Ensured that all visualized videos featured accurate captions and legible motion graphics aligned with Seabrook’s branding.
