Jennifer Jameson - Hanford, California

Jennifer Jameson
Hanford, California Recording Connection Student

I think I've always wanted to be a recording artist. I guess I've also been pretty confident that I got the talent to do it. Still, I know I've got a lot of work cut out for me, so I took classes to not only help me improve, but to get the opportunity to meet people who have made it in the business I want to succeed in.

I'm glad I decided to go to classes for this. I actually get to be inside an actual recording studio. I got to confess, although I wanted to be a recording artist for as long as I could remember, these recording studios intimidate me. When I got inside, the butterflies in my stomach went crazy. Then, after several hours inside, I finally got comfortable and could relax. And wow, these recording studios are amazing. It's not just about the microphone; there's all these other equipment that take whatever's recorded and make it even more amazing. Like the mixing console, which is also called a soundboard. It's with this that different sounds are mixed together, like the different musical instruments that goes into making a song. Here we get to see how it sounds if we turn up the bass or add in some backup vocals to a song.

Going to school to learn more about making it work in the recording industry is one of my best decisions to date. I can't wait for my next class.
