Rishiy Darshan

I'm a music and audio professional with experience in music annotation, vocal performance, and independent music production. My work has involved listening closely to audio, identifying musical characteristics, following detailed guidelines, and maintaining accuracy across different projects. Alongside my work as a music annotator, I teach Western vocals and create my own music.

These experiences have helped me develop a strong ear for pitch, rhythm, timing, vocal expression, and sound. I'm interested in applying these skills to audio quality evaluation and AI-generated speech, while continuing to develop my technical knowledge.
