Alex Green has strong opinions, and as a first-time judge of the ICCA Finals, he'll be putting his ability to evaluate to good use at Beacon Theatre in New York City on Saturday.

Through his experience as a performer, reviewer, producer, director, student, and lover of a cappella music, Green hears more vocal music than just about anyone. His various odd jobs in the audio world include internships at companies such as Rounder Records (Burlington, MA) and Alta Vista Studios (Austin, Texas), participation in the Soup 2 Nuts Seminar with Deke Sharon and Bill Hare, and acting as a reviewer for the Recorded A cappella Review Board (RARB).

Known throughout the vocal music world for his exceptionally strong work ethic and for his golden ears, Green has had the pleasure of singing with and directing various and myriad groups, including the Tufts Amalgamates, Overboard, and the short-lived and perpetually under-the-radar Cursory. He is currently working with CASA on the BOSton Sings [BOSS] festival team and is a regular workshop leader and CASA master clinician.

As a co-owner of Plaid Productions along with Alexander Koutzoukis, Green has had the opportunity to work with groups from across the country and around the world -- and made countless soups.

"When I'm not either mixing or behind a microphone, you can usually find me hovering over a cutting board or in front of a stove, probably making soup," he said.

Since early 2011, clients of Plaid Productions have had songs featured on SING, BOCA, and Voices Only and have garnered over 20 CARA nominations and wins. Plaid Productions also originated the now-ubiquitous Collaborative Recording program, which debuted unofficially at SMACC 2010 in Syracuse, NY. The program has since been adopted by almost all of CASA's wide range of regional and national a cappella festivals and has produced tracks featuring the voices of Pentatonix, Naturally 7, The Boxettes, Duwende, and others.
