Re: Post Production - where to start?
Try to get your hands on simple editing jobs.
Audio Book editing would be a good start. Once you learn how to edit sound efficiently, your chances of landing an internship or assistant position will increase. And that's where you can learn the ins and outs of different aspects of post production. |

Re: Post Production - where to start?
Thanks everyone for the constructive and encouraging replies. Unfortunately I've become sidetracked with an Operating System issue on my main PC but looking forward to get back to this thread with the suggestions and useful information.

Would I need to prove to an employer that I have editing skills to land an Audio Book editing gig? What would such an employer be looking for in terms of skill or experience? |

Audio book jobs are very budget conscious. So you'll need to prove you are efficient and thorough. They'll usually have a set budget, say 30 hour edit for a 80,000 word book. But if you can work remotely on your own time then you can afford to take your time and hone your skills. You'll need to get yourself familiarised with NR tools like Izotope RX to remove pops and clicks. You should practice editing on podcasts or similar material. Just download something and start hacking. |

Re: Post Production - where to start?
You might also consider offering to do 1 or 2 projects for free as a way to show what you can deliver(your local studio owner might hate certain projects and jump at the chance to hand something off to an eager upstart(you). Sort of an internship(but hopefully much shorter)

I also came across ACX audio submission requirements. Are these the requirements for pretty much any audio book and what you should work to? |
