The trick to success is not talent it is passion, nobody is naturally talented enough to be outstanding, the only way to stand out is with practice and the only motivation to practice is passion. A large sum of people does not search for a career that they love, instead they search for a career with a large salary, by choosing the first path people can raise a great deal of money by doing better than the rest.

My academic studies along with previous and current on-the-job experience have prepared me for this valuable opportunity. Per my resume, you will notice that I am well rounded and dedicated to performing any task assigned. I am committed to learning quickly, applying knowledge effectively and working as part of a team to achieve maximum innovation and creativity. Moreover, I am engulfed in the entertainment industry and am interested in how it looks in through the innovative eyes and creative minds of Reach Records.

Singin’ in the Rain is a 1952, Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen film based in 1920’s Hollywood. It follows the introduction of sound to the motion picture world and the Monumental Pictures studio’s struggle to adapt to the changing times. With the premier of The Jazz Singer, the first talkie, Monumental Pictures must uproot a current film in production and make the transition to synchronized sound film. It is through this background peek at the world of Hollywood film production that Singin’ in the Rain provides a reliable take on the introduction of sound to the world of motion picture. Viewers are able to grasp a thorough understanding of resources available for recording sound, potential problems that occurred with the

Doctor Andy Hildebrand spent 18 years in the field of seismic data exploration. He used signal processing, audio, and a mathematical model called autocorrection to map the layers below the Earth’s surface to find drilling spots for oil companies. Geophysicists, like Hildebrand, use this technology to send sound waves into the Earth and record their reflections with a geophone. Hildebrand, who was also a classically-trained flautist and had never listened to pop or rock music, realized that his equipment could also detect pitch. Thus, Auto-Tune was born (Anderson, 2013). Today, almost every recording artist relies on Auto-Tune to fix their mistakes. The real question is whether or not you have to have talent to sing anymore in this world of computerized music. In this piece I will discuss how Auto-Tune works, the history of technology in the music industry, and the controversy surrounding this technology.

The first practical sound recording and reproduction device was the mechanical phonograph cylinder. The inventor was Thomas Edison and the year 1877. It was patented in 1878. The invention spread across the globe. Over the next two decades following its invention, the commercial recording, distribution and sale of sound recordings became a growing new international industry. The most popular titles sold millions of units by the early 1900s.

Ed Woo had extensive experience as a sound engineer with several televison stations in larger citys in the Midwest. His dream, however, was too work for the Discovery Channel. When he learned the network needed a lead sound engineer, he reacted quick. He developed what him thought to be the most perfect resume possible. He then sended it to the station in hopes of hearing sooner.

An audio engineer is responsible for the operation of the soundboard and other equipment in the recording of music, words, sounds, or any combination of such material. There are several types of engineering positions available in today's studios. In large studios, there are usually several engineers, each with the own duties and contributions. There are recording engineers, recording assistants, set-up engineers, maintenance engineers, and even mix-down engineers in some cases. In smaller studios the engineer is usually responsible for all of these duties. As a rule, the engineer should be able to set-up, use, and fix the equipment they work with.

Audio engineering is a very exciting job. A sound engineering technician is someone who will set up, operate, and maintain the electrical equipment for radio, concerts, and sound recordings. Sound engineering technician typically works indoors. Sound technicians require technical skill in a candidate. Shaun mentioned sound engineer is not for everyone; candidate should be someone who works well with other. Employee should also be responsible enough to deal with long hours and especially at late nights. It's a great job if you have the determination to stick with it. It's a competitive field, but for those who stay with it, they are rewarded with a great living doing what they

a lot of the business is not how good you are, it's who you know and who owes favors to you. This can be a plus if you know a lot of people in the industry. Most people at various companies know each other so it also makes it harder for people to get into the business. All the good jobs are never advertised. You have to know the person that has a spot to fill. Music publishers are usually good friends with label people so artists don't get to pick their own songs, the executives are telling them what to sing. For instance, Michelle Branch just did a concert and said she hated the song 'Breathe' and the label made her record it and released it as a single.

In the 1920’s, Thomas Edison created the phonograph and for the first time ever, people could record sound, save it, then listen to it later at another time and place. Then, in the 1920’s people viewed motion pictures as a secondary form of entertainment due to the lack of music and sound in the films. In 1926, thanks to the help of the Warner Brothers in conjunction with Western Electric, movies had a whole new reputation. Together they introduced a new sound-on-disc system. In this system sound effects and music were recorded on a wax record that would later be synchronized with the film projector. At first they faced some rejection from the movie studios, but with the Premiere of The Jazz Singer in October of 1927, they officially changed

Another point Fan makes is Getting a degree does not equal getting a job. “It’s not a choice between attending college and working at McDonald's. Despite the way they’re portrayed, normal people can and do succeed without going to college. Their stories are just not as widely publicized as are those of Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.” While she did say there are normal people who succeed without going to college, how many people can actually do that? What were the circumstances? There are far more people that did attend college who did not that can say it actually benefitted them. Fan is talking about a one in a million chance of becoming a billionaire by dropping out of college. Both Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg did go to college they attended

From creating the musical scores in movies o orchestrating the sound systems for live events to designing beats for songs, audio engineers focus on the science behind the art of music. Possible career pathways include a recording engineer, sound designer, video game audio content, television show scoring, location recording, live sound reinforcement and audio system maintenance.

Moving into the 20th Century, Darius Milhaud, Paul Hindemith, and other composers offered composed manipulation of recorded sounds, experimenting with variable-speed phonographs in the 1920s. Additionally, ethnomusicologists including Hugh Tracy and Kurosawa Takatomo utilized extensive field recordings for archival. Modern field recording finds an array of uses, including documentation, research, artistic, and otherwise. The degree to which these recordings are altered varies among artists, with those that fully delve in phonography exhibiting little tangible transformation of the acquired material. Some example of this will be illustrated later in discussing soundscape

DJs are always trying to please the people. If people don 't listen to you the ratings go down. When I asked Mike what kind of personality is needed he responded by saying, "The person needs to be positive and outgoing. Also you need to be very patient with people who call in because not everyone is going to be nice and happy when they call in. So you need to be able to hold back rude comments you might want to say to them." (Mike) DJs must be able to multitask and between watching the clock, choosing music, answering the phones, reading reports, entertaining guests and the audience. Again everything is about timing. DJs are required to plan ahead and be able to keep up with everything that is going on. They must be able to play the next song or commercial on time. It can be difficult to keep up but once you do it for awhile it gets easier. Working at a radio station can be fun but stressful at the same time. Dust and temperature control are very important parts of keeping the equipment running and in good condition. DJs may not always have jobs either, especially
