Sound Mixer Question:

The bottom line is working with clients to help them bring their visions to reality. At Sound Lounge, we use Pro Tools as a digital audio workstation (DAW) for all the audio work. Knowing the software well enough to accomplish your sonic goals is important. I work a lot with voiceover actors and help direct them into the best performances for the spot.

There’s also a little bit of administrative-type stuff: managing resources so that the job gets done in time and within budget, sussing through the most efficient ways of accomplishing those tasks, and helping guide the client into getting the best talent and making the creative decisions that will benefit them in the end. It can be a lot to keep track of, but the more of this prep work you do, the more efficient and smooth the creative process will be. It’s a hodge-podge mix of tasks, but I enjoy doing a little bit of everything.
