What we actually do, in plain terms.
Four kinds of work. Most churches start with one and end up using two. Every one of them ends with somebody on your team knowing how to run what we left behind.
Audio engineering
Live mixing, recording, and clean up for services, events, and productions.
Pricing for this service is not published yet.
Somebody has to run the board when it matters. Kyle mixes live services, concerts, weddings, and conferences across Hampton Roads, and handles the recording and post work that comes after.
Most of the calls start the same way: the room sounds fine when it is empty and turns to mud when it fills up, or the recording of last Sunday is unusable. That is a solvable problem, and it usually costs less to solve than people expect.
What you get
- Live mixing for services, concerts, and events
- Multitrack recording and post production
- Room tuning and system check before the doors open
- Recording clean up, editing, and mastering
Sound system design and install
Spec, install, and tune a system your volunteers can actually run.
Pricing for this service is not published yet.
A sanctuary is a hard room. High ceilings, hard surfaces, a wide seating spread, and a budget that has to cover a lot of ground. Designing for that means picking gear that suits the room instead of the catalog, and putting it where it belongs.
Every install ends the same way: the system gets tuned, the settings get documented, and the people who run it on Sunday get walked through it before anyone leaves. A great system nobody understands is a worse outcome than an average system everyone can drive.
What you get
- Site visit, room assessment, and a written spec
- Speaker, console, and signal path design
- Installation, wiring, and labeling
- Tuning, documented settings, and a handoff walkthrough
AV training for volunteer teams
On site training so your Sunday crew stops guessing at the board.
$50 deposit for the system audit, then $75 an hour. $50 an hour on the Noisy Training Series.
Most church AV teams are volunteers who inherited a console and a set of half remembered instructions. They are not short on willingness. They are short on somebody spending a morning showing them what each knob does in their room, on their system.
The Sound Systems Pro Workshop is hands on and built around the gear the church already owns, in sessions of one, two, or three hours. Churches that want it handled on a schedule move onto the Noisy Training Series, which adds quarterly audits and a lower rate for gigs.
What you get
- Hands on training on your own console and system
- Gain structure, mixing, feedback, and troubleshooting
- No cap on how many volunteers sit in
- Refresher sessions as new volunteers join
Voice and audiobook narration
Two narrators, home studio delivery, publisher ready files.
Pricing for this service is not published yet.
Kyle and Jill both narrate. Between them the range covers fiction and nonfiction, single voice and dual cast, plus commercial and explainer reads.
Recording happens in a treated home studio and files are delivered to the spec your publisher or platform asks for. If you are casting, the fastest way to decide is to listen, so the reels are the first thing on the portfolio page.
What you get
- Audiobook narration, single voice or dual cast
- Commercial, corporate, and explainer reads
- Editing, proofing, and mastering to platform spec
- Auditions on request

Outside that list? Ask anyway. Travel is a conversation, not a wall.
The questions churches actually ask.
- Our sound is fine when the room is empty and awful when it is full. Why?
- A full room absorbs high frequencies and reflects the rest differently, so a system tuned to an empty sanctuary falls apart at 10am. That is a tuning and system design problem, and it is usually fixable without buying anything new.
- Do we need a whole new system?
- Often not. The first step is a site visit and an honest assessment. Plenty of churches have decent gear that was installed in the wrong place, wired badly, or set up once and never revisited. We will tell you when replacement is genuinely the right call and when it is not.
- Can you train our volunteers on the system we already have?
- Yes, and that is the point of the training class. It runs on your console in your room, not on a generic setup, so what your team learns is what they will actually use on Sunday.
- What does an install include?
- A site visit and written spec, the system design, installation and labeling, tuning, documented settings, and a walkthrough with the people who will run it. We do not leave a room without the volunteers knowing how to drive it.
- Do you cover live events outside of churches?
- Yes. Concerts, weddings, conferences, and community events, including recording and post production if you want the audio afterward.
