Profile
My mother bought me my first tape recorder when I was nine years old. Seventeen years of major market, on-air radio performance plus being the Production Director at every station, handling the writing, voicing and production of hundreds if not thousands of commercials and promo announcements; that was my first career.
In 1986, I left broadcasting to pursue writing, audio production and AFTRA/SAG talent work. My long hours in the on-air and production studio paid off. I quickly became one of the top 5% of voice talents in the Baltimore/Washington market.
I was on the beta test team for AKG’s DSE7000 DAW in January 1991. I ran with the DSE7000 through the Audicy until it made sense to move on to Pro Tools. I own and operate a digital audio recording studio using a Digi 002R (an older Digi001 and thanks to FCP Suite and a fast Mac, a video editing suite) in which I record and produce spoken word and music for video, radio and TV commercials and the web.
I produce music projects, mix live sound and work as a location audio recorder and mixer for film and video shoots. I play guitar. I know how to communicate with production people, broadcasters and other musicians.
I’ve written two books; “Advanced Audio Production Techniques” and “Ty Ford’s Audio Bootcamp Field Guide.” I re-wrote the NAB’s handbook on radio commercial copywriting and have twice updated the microphone chapter in the weighty NAB Engineering Reference Manual.
I write commissioned articles about audio, video, and the people who produce audio and video for Radio World, TV Technology, Pro Audio Review and on line ezines. Google “Ty Ford”...Audio...Talent” and you’ll find more than you want to know. Also try www.tyford.com.
