FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally start with an hourly rate, which varies depending on the type of recording required. Then, I'll either discount that based on the number of hours expected for a certain job, or provide a flat-fee quote.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I keep current on trends, techniques and equipment by reading trade magazines and staying active on industry forums, where I can swap knowledge with other audio pros around the world.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've just always been excited about the idea of recording sound. Spending some time in the radio industry as well as playing various instruments over the years reinforced that interest and enthusiasm. Follow your bliss, as the saying goes.
