Job: Audio Engineer (September, 2016 - December 2017)

Emerson Productions is a part of Emerson College that specializes in video production, serving both the Emerson Community as well as outside organizations with their video production needs.

Job: Co-Audio Manager for The 36th and 37th Annual EVVY Awards

The EVVY Awards is a collaborative awards show that is run by 200+ students in Emerson College, making it the largest student-produced, multi-camera, live switch production in the nation. I participated as one of the two Audio Managers for both the 36th and 37th shows, as well as the Assistant Audio Manager for the 34th and 35th show. As an Audio Manager, it is my job to make sure that both the in-house and broadcast audio are working properly, communicate with the other departments of the show, and make sure that the show goes smoothly from an audio perspective. For example, this production required me to work with the creative teams in order to design sound effects or record the various performances, as well as the technical teams to coordinate wireless frequencies and how to set up our system without getting in each other's way. However, these are only a few examples of the tasks I carried out as an audio manager on these productions, as the full list would take ages to write out.
