About George Whittam:
George Whittam is owner and founder of VO Studio Tech, based in Los Angeles, and recently joined Edge Studio as Director of Technology.
George is a 1997 graduate of Virginia Tech with a Bachelor’s degree in Music and Audio Technology, and a minor in Communications. He acquired considerable expertise in music recording by working with various musicians and artists in the Philadelphia area, and gained broadcast engineering experience working at a radio station in Philadelphia as the remote engineer for the NFL Eagles Radio Network.
George was introduced to the world of voice overs through a producer at the station who asked the station’s engineer to help him build a home studio in New York City. George came along to assist, and later moved to Los Angeles and furthered his already diverse experience by working on over 15 film projects in three years as a sound mixer and boom operator.
From an initial handful of satisfied clients, George has built a business that works solely with voice over studios and clients. His extensive knowledge of computers, software, equipment, and troubleshooting abilities makes him a sought-after expert and indispensable on-call technician.
He is globally considered a top authority in voice over recording technology and has invested thousands of hours researching studio design, recording equipment, and creating training materials for voice actors. In so doing, he has also become an industry innovator by developing specialized services that cater exclusively to voice over professionals.
