About this episode

Ed Moskowitz shares his journey and insights on audio mixing and voiceover work in the television industry.

What do Saturday Night Live, The Golden Girls, and modern voiceover studios have in common? Ed Moskowitz has worked on all of them—and his biggest lesson after decades in the industry is surprisingly simple: don’t overcomplicate your audio. In this episode, Ed walks George through his journey from scrappy theater kid to mixing some of the most iconic shows in TV history. Along the way, he shares wild live-broadcast stories (yes, including the Macy’s Parade), the evolution from boom mics to lavs and RF, and why today’s tech sometimes makes things harder—not better. They also dig into Ed’s current voiceover setup (refreshingly minimal), his philosophy on signal chains, and what actually matters when you’re trying to sound professional. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros really approach audio—this one’s packed.
