Expose, Encourage & Empower: Inspiring The Next Generation To A Career In Live Production
ProSoundWeb: There’s an expression: “If I can’t see it, I can’t be it.” If you have no idea that something exists, you can’t engage with it.
That was certainly my experience when I went to my first gig at age 12 – up until then I loved music and was exploring different bands, but I had no idea of what went on behind the album cover, no idea of the army of people who make live shows happen.

I think that while the field of entertainment design and engineering should be advertised more as a real career, there really are only so many jobs in the industry. Our marketing of this industry to the youth maybe shouldn’t be like nursing or engineering where we’re trying to get a lot of people into these fields because there just isn’t that much for that many people to do. However, I do think that there should be more career education for people who do find an interest in the entertainment industry. When I was in high school, I wished that there were more internship/employment opportunities for me. There probably would’ve been more had I lived in a more exciting place. The training opportunities I did have meant everything to me and were so exciting, and I think we should be offering more of that to kids especially since they consume so much media and could be learning how to make it too.
