Recording Connection - Manchester, New Hampshire
I realize that realistically, a diploma can only get us so far. And in an industry as cutthroat and competitive as the recording industry, it's going to be tough to make something of ourselves with just a diploma. Lots of times, the companies we want to work for wants someone with experience, someone who knows their way around a recording studio. It's a fast-paced industry, I don't think they want to spend their time teaching the basics to their new employees.
So I want to be able to impress my possible employers that I know more than just those that are found in books and taught in classrooms. And I've got it, thanks to my mentor, who is teaching me all these things that I need to give me an edge that I need to have a successful career. One-on-one mentoring is such an effective tool, at least for me. I could barely have the patience to sit in a classroom and listen to someone go on and on. I mean, it's not so bad. Studying is important too, of course. But I feel like I learn more quickly when someone shows me, like how to operate the equipment in a recording booth. I even get to work it from time to time, so I know exactly what to do should I get employed once I finish my course. And I'm sure getting employed won't be that difficult since I've got this recording connection that's showing me how to be able to be successful in this industry.
