94 min • 17 juli 2022

Ramera Abraham is a vocal producer and sound engineer based out of London, England, UK! In our conversation, Ramera tells her story - studying at the Abbey Road Institute, building relationships, and hitting the ground running as a vocal producer. She goes deep on her approach to working with artists - using emotional intelligence in a session, extensive session prep, microphone preferences, choosing a space for a vocal to live in, and Melodyning. We also get into client acquisition, branding, mixing with her gut, having confidence, and so much more! Check it out!
