I currently work from home part-time as a caption and subtitle proofreader. I love it! I am able to utilize skills sharpened by years of experience working full-time in captioning and subtitling for television and film. I use my proofreading and grammar skills as well as the ability to meet daily multiple deadlines and to be flexible with my schedule. My previous experience also is valuable in following different style guides, helping correct grammar, language and punctuation in translations, adapting UK English files to US English, maintaining consistency in spelling and style within a show, and sharing ideas on how to best convey the spoken word and sound effects in captioning. I work well on my own, but also take great satisfaction in being part of a team working towards a common goal: to provide the best quality in captioning and subtitling. I am also open to other proofreading opportunities. If you have a manuscript, transcript, article, essay, any type of written material that needs a quick read-through for typos, you can reach me at lesliemcarthur@msn.com.
Listed skills include Proofreading, Editing, Film, Closed Captioning, and 9 others.
