About this book

You're thinking about becoming a sound engineering technician. You've seen the flashy side - concerts, studios, film sets - but you want to know what the job is actually like on a Tuesday morning. This guide gives you that answer with specifics: what you'll really be doing each shift, who you'll be working with, and what's in your toolbox. It won't sugar-coat the slow days, the low pay at entry level, or the gear that fails. But it also shows you the path clearly: how top technicians rise to better gigs and better pay.

★★★★★

I appreciated that this guide didn't try to sell me on the career. The salary ranges and the day-in-the-life section gave me a real picture of what I'd be getting into. Chapter 1 especially was thorough, which almost made it feel a bit like a textbook. I was hoping for a bit more about the business side of freelancing, but it's a solid starting point for deciding if this is for me.
