Micheal Ziants - Airlift Productions Voice Artist, Producer & Founder

Following a whirlwind radio career - through St. Louis (KSD), Nashville (WLAC), Philadelphia (WIFI), New Orleans (Q-93) & Harrisburg (WKBO) - accompanied by years of award-winning commercial work, Micheal founded Airlift Productions in NOLA in 1984. 

​

Originally specializing in Radio/TV commercial production, Airlift Productions soon expanded into Industrial Training, Educational Software, VoiceOver Demos, Podcasts and AudioBook work. Airlift Mike also plays in the musical arena, producing artist/musician CD albums, MP3s & demos.

​"Micheal Ziants & I have worked on a number of celebrity productions together.  He's a cool head in tight spots, keeping the talent moving ahead happily.  He has a wealth of experience at the controls and behind the mic, and knows what he can and can't get -- a valuable and rare sense of proportion.  Working at Airlift Productions remotely via Skype or phone patch is seamless.  It's like being in the next room."

--- JOHN F. McELROY, NYC- based Grammy Award Winning Audio Book Producer
