Hello!
My name is Bret, and I'm a freelance sound mixer in the NYC area. I've been a full-time sound engineer for over seven years, focusing on location sound for about three years. Most of my work has been solo, over-the-shoulder ENG-type work. I've mixed a few indie features, a bunch of shorts, and a ton of doc & industrial stuff.
I absolutely love what I do, but I feel like I'm ready to grow a bit and start working on bigger (and better) productions. I want to join Local 52, but before I do that, I feel like I should gain more experience working on a sound crew.
If you, or anyone you know in the NYC area, could use a sound assistant or a boom operator, please let me know. Paid or unpaid, the experience is the most important thing for me. Even if you would be willing to let me shadow you on set, that learning opportunity could be invaluable for me.
Thank you all for your time, and I hope to meet some of you very soon!
Sincerely,
Bret
