<\/a>Orlando Kelm<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Orlando<\/em>\u00a0was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada but raised in Salt Lake City, Utah (his German father never could get used to the cold weather, so he moved further south).\u00a0 He earned his Ph.D. in Hispanic Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 and then went straight to the University of Texas at Austin, where he has been ever since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Have you ever seen the Mormon missionaries with the white shirts and ties?\u00a0 That’s where Orlando got his start with Portuguese, serving in S\u00e3o Paulo from 1977 \u2013 1979.\u00a0 Since then he’s picked up quite a bit of Spanish, and a little bit of Italian, Catalan, German, Japanese, and he’s now taking a crack at some Chinese.\u00a0 Those are more of a hobby, but then a little stargazing and a little guitar make for good hobbies too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Professionally, you’ll find him working a lot with business schools, focusing on language for professional purposes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Michael Heidenreich has been recording audio since his days in middle school when he found a four-track tape recorder at a garage sale for $20.\u00a0 He used this four track for many purposes, but the biggest one was annoying his family members.\u00a0 To this day, no one in his family knows for sure if this was his original goal or just an odd side effect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He continued his audio training at the University of Texas at Austin where he found a bigger crowd to annoy with his recordings.\u00a0 He has produced a number of albums for various local bands and has spent time blabbering away on local radio stations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He lives in downtown Austin with his wife and two cats.\u00a0 When he is not busy ‘listening to the world’ he spends his time running through it.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
