Spyretta Leivaditi

Podcast team lead, Host, Script-writer, Post Production (sound editing and mixing), Social Media

I am a freelance Computational Linguist/ Speech scientist with great interest in pathological speech and low resource languages. Speech Pitch podcast is my way to unwind and spend my free time creatively. Usually you can find me either in post production editing and mixing tracks or preparing social media videos and occasionally hosting. I hope you enjoy our content and if you want to learn how our team works feel free to contact me.

Pascal Hecker

Host, Script-writer, Post Production (sound editing and mixing), Head of Analytics

I am working on neurological disorder recognition from voice. For the podcast, I enjoy editing episode scripts, host guests, and conduct interviews. In post production, I devote most of my attention on editing and mixing recorded episodes for the best sound quality  we can achieve with the means our team has. Something I find quite interesting is also the analytics data of episodes since they give me the opportunity to understand how our audience respond to our content.
