I understand the importance of clean, consistent data in machine learning environments and work carefully within specifications. My background includes: 14+ years vocal performance 12+ years voice-over acting 20+ years musical training (piano, violin, composition) I record in a treated studio environment using professional equipment and consistently meet technical specifications for AI training datasets (24-bit/48kHz, mono, unprocessed).
