Meet Our Editors
Andrei Tatu
Andrei Tatu developed his passion about sound as a teenager, building his own speakers, amplifiers, and discovering the wonders of synthesizers.
Later on, pointing his attention towards post production, sound design and following the dream of becoming a sound engineer, he pursued studies in mixing at Berklee College of Music where he gained a keen interest for the nature and emotional influence of the human voice which led him into audiobook editing and now, when he’s not working for BeeAudio he spends his free time as a music producer and sound designer for independent games and personal projects.
Bob Evoniuk
Blame it on a life-long love of language and dialects, particularly those of the American southeast where he’s from, coupled with several decades as a musician and producer fascinated with the workings of recording studios, sound quality and the mechanics of audio recording.
All have served to prepare Bob Evoniuk for his work with BeeAudio. As the father of two successfully grown and launched children, a musician and small business owner, Bob understands the value of teamwork for a fine-tuned enterprise such as BeeAudio. When not engineering or editing for BeeAudio, Bob can be found in the kitchen cooking up something good with his sweetheart or out with his band buddies playing bluegrass music.

Michael Kitson
Michael Kitson‘s ear for audiobooks was first piqued by his parents’ nighttime reading of classics such as the Narnia Chronicles and the Little House series. Michael’s interest in audio engineering began when, as a teen, he started recording his own music with a cassette 4-track.
He transitioned to digital audio recording and live sound while attending Southern Oregon University for music. Michael then worked for Blackstone Audio, engineering and editing dozens of audiobooks before relocating to Portland, Oregon where he is currently an active music performer, live sound technician and audiobook engineer.
Paula Carmicino
Paula Carmicino attended New York University’s Film and Television program, specializing in video and audio editing. Since then she has worked editing audiobooks for New York Audio, Perkins School for the Blind, and now Bee Audio.
Her love of words and sound has also been the catalyst for one of her biggest passions – producing original hip hop music and rapping.
Tim Clay
Tim started recording music on a tape to tape karaoke machine, layering the guitars and vocals separately and was hooked. He got some recording gear for Christmas and didn’t look back. He went to the Atlanta Institute of Music for Guitar and Audio Engineering and honed his skills.
But audiobooks had been a part of his life from an earlier time, when he listened to the Ninja Turtles audio tape that accompanied a comic book. He listened to that tape over and over. Little did he know, audiobooks would be such a big part of his life later on. Carpentry would be his second hobby, building things out of wood is something he finds quite relaxing. Just recently, he built a tiny house inside a tractor trailer. Based in Atlanta, Ga, he enjoys loud music, southern BBQ, and sweet tea.
