Studio Slave to Audio Professional: Workshop on Internships and Jobs
Panelists:
David Bowles, Swineshead Productions LLC
Gary Gottlieb, Webster University - Webster Groves, MO, USA

Abstract:
The gravest concern and deepest fear of many students pertains to their first professional position. Whether it is an internship or an entry level job, many students express nervousness regarding this leap from the relative calm of education to the vast unknown of the professional world. In this workshop a group of educators and professionals will discuss their views on the traits and characteristics most sought after by potential employers and will share tips for success at the entry level of the audio profession. We expect this workshop will feature a lively question and answer period.

Continuing the thread of very productive dialog started at the AES Convention in Munich last May, all educators are invited to join this open discussion on how we teach students about sound quality and high production standards. In an age when many graduates will not have the chance to work with the finest equipment in the finest rooms, what are the responsibilities of the faculty and what are the expectations for the facilities at institutions of higher learning? Come share your approaches and learn from others as we all seek to teach quality. An open forum for educators, students are also welcome to attend and participate.

This workshop will bring together professionals and educators from a variety of backgrounds to discuss options for audio professionals seeking to learn new skills, further their education, and incorporate new technologies into their production services.
