Hailing from the pine swamps of South Carolina, I’ve always been sensitive to what I hear. As a child, some of my favorite sounds were cicadas singing on a hot summer evening and the white-noise hush of ocean waves at low tide. These days, I perk up at the sound of quavering bells and slightly out-of-tune music boxes. Professionally, I am very committed to directing my energies toward stories that champion marginalized voices. In the early days of my career, I had a hard time finding my footing in the entertainment industry. It wasn’t until I was welcomed onboard projects that intentionally seek out women, POC, and queer people that my career started to gain traction. I owe my experience, skills, and passion to the inclusivity extended by those communities. https://morganhonaker.com/video-essays daily 0.75 2023-05-02 https://morganhonaker.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-02 https://morganhonaker.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2023-05-02 https://morganhonaker.com/podcasts daily 0.75 2023-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593c4538cd0f68786f344596/f9fc6d1f-0376-4938-aa28-c2c7ab37aaca/IFF-SOL-Title_RGB_500x500.jpg Podcasts - Dialogue Editor & Mixer Seen Out Loud has been one of the most fulfilling podcasts I’ve worked on to date. The show helps those who have experience with the foster care system share their stories. In each episode, I and my composer, Christian Haigis, underscore the guest’s stories with thematic music to create a more intimate and empathetic listening experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593c4538cd0f68786f344596/babee42e-0a3e-4787-8498-92065322137b/social%2Bimage%2B3.jpg Podcasts - Audio Producer In the early days of Famous & Gravy, I helped co-hosts Amit Kapoor and Michael Osborne created the format that they now use for each episode. We decided to go with a trivia/game show sound design format to establish a whimsical, nostalgic atmosphere. Currently, my colleague Jacob Weiss edits and mixes the show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593c4538cd0f68786f344596/1611791343306-AX71EGA1C42N12BIIGHX/CC_Podcast_Background.jpg Podcasts - Live Foley Artist Connie Cosmos, an old-school-style radio drama, allowed me to try my hand at live foley performance, which required more coordination than I had imagined! Before the live taping, I also created a few specialized sounds, like the giant chicken vocalizations. You can listen to the podcast below, and you view the live taping on our YouTube Channel! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593c4538cd0f68786f344596/aa870ac8-0269-4fa7-a7ed-71e6ef2eba93/fromourneuronstoyours-cover-art-final.jpg Podcasts - Sound Designer & Mixer From Our Neurons to Yours is a bite-size neuroscience podcast produced by Stanford University. Each week, I design a short soundscape to introduce our listeners to the episode’s topic. Suffice it to say, it’s an interesting sound design challenge! In addition to design, I also handle the dialogue editing and mixing for each episode. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593c4538cd0f68786f344596/1611788839563-GE496AYECYCTQQSZ12ND/The_Great_Fail_Podcast.jpg Podcasts - Sound Designer and Mixer I’ve been working on The Great Fail since it launched in early 2020. In each episode, I help our host, Debra Chen, create a true-crime style atmosphere by sourcing and cutting music and sound effects, in addition to dialogue editing and cleanup. Our podcast is part of the Adweek Network and has won several awards, including Best Entrepreneurship Podcast of the Year. https://morganhonaker.com/collaborations daily 0.75 2023-05-02
