Kita1130 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I've been looking for a Sound Rental House In the Dalla-Forth Worth area to either work as an intern or with an apprenticeship. I truly would like to learn all about the sound equipment for film/tv. I ultimately want to become a knowledgeable Sound Gal. Any feedback would be beneficial. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewFreedAudio Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hint: Many hotels have AV companies under contract to take care of their needs... Hint: that would teach her all she needs to know about DVD players, CD players, projectors, and crappy PA systems. It wouldn't teach her much, if anything, about film and TV production.

studiomprd Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 " wouldn't teach her much, if anything, about film and TV production. " sorry, that is the best I can do. if she can't figure out some other ideas, like local radio and TV stations & groups, production houses, etc. She asked about sound equipment rental, and that's where I pointed her. She has apparently not found a production sound for film and TV store (like our usual suspects) nearby, so perhaps you can direct her better! or she can take the advice of the others who have responded, or will now.

pverrando Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Dallas Audio Post I believe uses interns. They provide location services and also rent gear. AMS Pictures uses interns, perhaps to a fault, and not exclusively in sound. Inmotion Imagery as well. All are googleable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 " uses interns. " this brings up the issue of real (academic credit) internships compared to "free labor" (Fox Searchlight) internships... beware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kita1130 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi Guys, I am in the scrambling process. My ideal situation would be to shadow a sound person and learn from there(just taking what i have heard from others)...also i would need to learn how to trouble shoot and how to repair my equipment. I have done many searches and im sure one of my connections will become available for me to be trained "some". Im not wealthy so i have to keep a steady job until i can find one that will benefit be both with my career and financially. Actually all feedback helps because i am not as knowledgeable as you guys...basically its good to know info. I will beware...I will check on the Dallas Audio Post right now and now i know everything that Hotels do with their Audio Visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 " now i know everything that Hotels do with there Audio Visual. " ?? I doubt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kita1130 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 yeah, me too...maybe i should have said it differently. Now i know some of what the Hotels do with their Audio Visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
