Hi, I’m Pariah Burke, your host for Hard, Heavy, & Hair.
When I’m not kicking out the jams, I do professional voiceover work and teach and consult on such professional creative and publishing subjects as InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, epublishing, self-publishing, digital asset management, font license compliance, and more. You can find out about all of that over at my main website, http://iampariah.com. There you can also see my many published books, Pluralsight video courses, and articles on the same topics.
