Hi. I am finishing University in late August with a degree in music. My concentration is in studio production. Is anybody out there working in the music industry currently? If so, could you give me any tips on job hunting in this field? Thank you very much!

just front up to studios ect and make them feel as if they cannot possibly live sans your talent .

Shouldn't you have thought about this in your final year mate? Hmm I'd have thought a guitargod would have been better organised.

This is currently my final year actually. I'm not done until August.

Its not that far away mate get it sorted and shouldn't you be asking your tutors ect about finding a job, surely they are better placed to advise you.

Yeah. I've been talking to them but as for a non sighted person trying to find a music job, they don't have much advice actually which is a drag. A lot of things in studios nowadays require sight and they don't really know what to tell me. I thought that it might be worth a shot addressing a blind community of people with this question just in case someone had some input on it.

Hi,
Maybe I shouldn't say anything, I don't know maybe I should. But I would've looked into it before I chose the career... not said it couldn't be done, but have you ever been inside a studio? Stupid question, I know. But have you done it lately? See what kind of adaptations can be made for using the electronic equipment in the studio. I totally am for anything that is based on independence, and definitely, if you went into this career without seeing whether or not it'd been done, you were choosing your career based on what you wanted to do, not based on what others had done already. I say go for it! just se what kind of adaptations would have to be made, and find a way to make them. Surely getting together with freedom, or some kind of computer programming geek will sort this issue out. I'd like to know how your search for help is going. Let me know via PM's here or, if you ever catch me on, QN me.
Take care and I wish you the best,
Renee
