The Crew

Edward Etty

Hi there! My name is Edward Etty and if you check my “about me” you can learn some more about me as a person. This crew works together very well because we all bring many things to the table. For example, my communication skillset and connections come in useful as I am an athlete at Valdosta State University myself. This gives me many opportunities to reach out to other athletes and coaches of all the varsity sports at Valdosta State, and even other schools for possible guests. Besides this, I am a talker and have good experiences with interviews and different podcasts giving me a better understanding of what can be done or improved in the Podcast as we go along with the shooting of the Podcast episode. On the editing side I am advanced with Adobe Premiere Pro and intermediate with Adobe Audition. Therefore, I am able to help on all sides of the editing parts as well. Being able to help in front and behind the camera, makes me a helpful addition to this crew.
I can’t wait for all of you to see/listen to our podcast!
