Emma not only brings an impeccable sense of professionalism, they are also a wonderful and bright individual, brimming with endless creativity.  Their efficient, but relaxed manner, provides an environment conducive to the exploration of the creative process, while still keeping us on schedule.  And it doesn’t hurt that they have perfect pitch.  So even the slightest vocal variations, not picked up by most, is easily identified by them and adjusted instantaneously during the session.
