Hello. I’m seeking a career in the sound recording industry (movies, music, TV ect) and I plan on attending Stylus music school on Oct 1 (I have been accepted just waiting on funding). One of the requirements for arranging financing is I have to get interview papers filled out by employers and employees in the sound industry. It can be recording, editing, mastering, and producing, pretty much anything to do with audio. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could e-mail me back with the answers to the following questions.

(Employee interview can be found below employer interview)

my e-mail is Tyson_mcc@hotmail.com

Thank you very much,
Tyson McCarney

If were actually an employee in the recording industry, I'd be happy to answer the questionnaire. For now, it simply remains a hobby.

What's in it for me anytime I try to answer a question or do a little research to help someone out? I guess I'm just a nice guy.

Now there are plenty of people in here just trying to get free answers for their homework, but this is obviously not the case for you, Tyson. I hope you get some good responses. Although, I hope you are trying to get live interviews from people to compliment the responses you get online. Don't forget to contact radio and tv stations. This industry is more about who you know than what you know, so start making as many local contacts as you can.

Good luck, sorry I can't help.
