How WNBA's Skylar Diggins-Smith Became a Superstar

I recorded location audio for this profile of Phoenix Mercury star Skylar Diggins-Smith. Phoenix-based sports profiles are a regular part of my work, and the WNBA has produced strong documentary content around their players in recent years.

The production covers Diggins-Smith’s trajectory — her college career, the challenges she’s navigated in the WNBA, and her emergence as one of the league’s marquee figures. The coverage mixes arena footage, practice facility access, and personal interview settings. The Mercury facility is a familiar location and the acoustic conditions are workable; the personal interview settings require adapting to whatever space is available.
