Dapper file / Houston / Call sign: Third Beat
Reggie Okoye
Reggie waits until the third beat, where weaker rooms hear confidence.
Producer’s verdict5.7 sec
Reggie does not praise a take while the waveform is still moving. He listens for what happened underneath the obvious part and makes his decisions where fewer people can interfere with them.
Two beats pass after the miss. On the third, a small smile arrives and the dap comes forward like final studio approval. The delay reclassifies the room’s silence as anticipation.
Use him with artists, in negotiations, and after midnight when everybody is pretending fatigue has improved their judgment. Explanations are prohibited while the session light is on.
