Meet Jarrod: He lives and breathes audio

Most clients need more than a technician; they need a partner who can see a creative project from every angle. Jarrod’s ability to effortlessly solve this problem is rooted in his rich and varied experience.

“I breathe audio, sleep audio, dream audio,” he says, and it’s no exaggeration. With over 15 years in the field, his career spans everything from commercial post-production to directing documentaries. This wide-ranging skill set isn’t just a bonus—it’s his secret weapon.

His experience as a director and producer gives him a unique insight into a client’s mind. “Being versatile in different creative fields helps you excel,” he explains. “Directing and producing gives me insight into what clients need. Often before they even know it.” 

This ability to shift perspective and to think like a client. It makes him an anchor in VoiceArchive’s production ecosystem, ensuring every project is grounded in a deep understanding of its purpose.

While his title suggests structure, Jarrod’s day-to-day work is far more nuanced. So how does he define his role? With a characteristic simplicity that says it all:

“I take the great that VoiceArchive makes and make it even better.”

Behind the scenes, Jarrod orchestrates the entire post-production process. He’s the one reviewing every order, assigning tasks, and making real-time decisions about deadlines and quality.

But hi’s real value goes beyond the technical. Jarrod’s work is a delicate balance of artistry and guidance. “Clients sometimes want everything loud and upfront,” he says. “But a mix breathes. Every second has to be intentional.” His job is to balance expectations, educate as needed, and ensure every creative decision serves the story.

Many of the frustrations clients face—like missed deadlines or confusing revisions—can be traced back to a lack of organization. Jarrod’s solution is simple: systems that fuel creativity, not limit it.

“Being structured in a creative environment is a skill that can make or break careers,”

he states.

If you’re unorganized, you’re risking the client relationship, the voice talent’s time, and your own. ”If you just take it as it comes, it it it it will blow up inevitably at some point in your face.” By creating a predictable and reliable framework, Jarrod ensures that the creative energy of a project is spent on what truly matters, not on administrative chaos.

Ultimately, clients aren’t just looking for audio files; they’re looking to feel understood. Jarrod believes that great post-production doesn’t start with technology. It starts with empathy. “Anyone can take a client’s money,” he explains. “We start with understanding.”

This mindset shapes everything we do at VoiceArchive, and has formed our structure for success.

1. Calm, Organized Thinking in High-Pressure Moments “Deadlines won’t wait. The only way to win is to stay calm and focused.” 
2. Radical, Respectful Honesty “Sometimes you have to say, ‘This isn’t working. Let’s start again.’ No ego. Just what’s best for the project.” 
3. Consistency in Quality “Some clients return years later asking for pickups. You must match the sound perfectly. Every file, every day, needs to meet the same gold standard.”

These principles shape not just Jarrod’s approach, but the culture VoiceArchive extends to every client.
