You would think advancement would come with time, but it's not my first "entry level" position. I've worked in post-production for film & animation, worked freelance for a while doing demos & various other projects, I have 2 years of actual working experience in addition to school & internships. I g...

Good for her! It's nice to see a woman that's gone so far in this industry. I think I may have made a mistake by going to engineering school. It looks like your boss pretty much got lucky & found a good internship that lead to a great job. I think if I had worked as hard to find an internship at a g...

Wow- That's a pretty quick turnover! I joined the WAM list yesterday, but I noticed that it's pretty much West Coast based. I've got to find a female techie group out here! Good luck with the job offer- My friend who's going to AES has been busy lately, so I haven't been able to find out if he's run...

Wow! I wish WAM had been at AES last year! Anyway, I hate to say it (because I moved from LA to NYC to start my audio career), but you may be better off in LA than I am in NYC. It seems like there are a LOT more jobs going out there. The industry out here seems to be on a sharp decline lately. It al...

I'm not a member of any audio group or society at all, unfortunately! As soon as I get all my student loans & bills in order, I want to join AES & a couple other groups, but membership isn't cheap, as you know. I went on your website & was really impressed- you're a member of quite a few groups! Tha...

I'm not going to AES in SF because I have to work, but I went to the one in NYC last year & it was awesome! Not only was I treated as an equal, but I ended up meeting some very cool people & getting some great contacts. Sadly, all the contacts were on the West coast, so it didn't help me too much wi...

I agree! There are VERY few women in the audio world & we've got to break into it at some point! It's insane- I always feel like they'd rather have an incompetent male with little or no education than me! I was looking at another posting about audio schools earlier & a lot of guys were saying that y...

Oh honey- You're not the only one. I graduated about 2 years ago as one of the top in my class & got the highest grade in the class on one of my 2 finals. I'm currently a studio assistant (in a part of the audio field that doesn't even really interest me), I have held paying, internship, freelance, ...

My live room is currently being partially used as storage- Help me turn it back into a live room by buying my unused gear!

God BLESS you man, for making a crappy day sunny and bright. I feel like I have rainbows coming out of my ass.

A whole lot of digitizing videos, marrying VO, music & SFX, making quicktimes, posting demos, rinse, repeat. Went home, played Resident Evil.

God bless my life as a studio assistant.

I graduated in July '03- It was a great experience with a pretty tough program (full time) & I learned a lot. The only job assistance I got, however, was an internship at the crappiest studio I've ever seen. This guy ran his "studio" from a small, dark basement in Chelsea & his entire staff consiste...
