What you will do

• Plan the session with the creator: purpose, references, participants, needed inputs, practical scope and review or delivery needs.
• Prepare and check the agreed recording chain: microphone choice and placement, routing, gain, monitoring, headphone comfort and a usable recording space.
• Record music, spoken voice or podcasts within the agreed capability; coach patiently, listen closely and keep clear take and session notes.
• Edit and organize audio, make appropriate clean-up and mix decisions, and explain limits honestly. Preserve original recordings and do not promise to restore an unusable take.
• Maintain labelled sessions, versions and backups; deliver agreed mixes, stems or other files with a clear handoff and the needed rights and credit notes.
• Coordinate with camera operators, instructors and camp operations on recording schedules, quiet periods, synchronization and available equipment.
• Obtain the required permission before recording, sharing or using a voice in an AI workflow. Follow approved privacy and safeguarding processes, especially for minors and private sessions.
• Use only authorized source audio, music and tools; protect private takes and identify safety, access, equipment or permission issues early. Mastering, live sound or gear ownership are not assumed parts of this role.

What you bring

• Recording or mix examples, or an equivalent project walkthrough, that clearly identify your contribution and listening decisions.
• Practical signal flow, microphone placement, gain staging, routing and monitoring skills, with attention to comfortable, safe listening levels.
• Confidence recording and editing in an audio workstation and making balanced mixes; exact software and licences will be agreed.
• Organized take management, original-file preservation, session versions, backups and reliable handoff.
• Patient artist support, clear nontechnical explanations, collaborative feedback and the judgment to pause when permission or a technical limit is unclear.
• Safe use of agreed equipment and participation in the required on-site work with reasonable access arrangements discussed. No personal studio, degree or particular software brand is assumed.

Helpful experience

• Experience across music, dialogue, voiceover or podcasts, with strengths in one or more of these areas.
• Familiarity with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, REAPER, Ableton Live or another suitable workstation; transferable skills matter more than a particular brand.
• Useful skills in acoustic problem solving, headphone mixes, vocal editing, dialogue clean-up or audio-for-picture handoff.
• Experience helping new performers feel comfortable and keeping a session focused without rushing the person.

A short introduction

Answer two questions about this role, then review your application. Our hiring team reviews your answers.

• Choose a recording or mix you have already worked on, or describe it if you cannot share it. What did you personally do, and which listening or setup choice most improved the result?
• A beginner gives a good performance, but the take has room noise and a clipped peak. They also want the recording kept private. What would you check, explain and do next?

What we will review

• Recording fundamentals and listening judgment
• Patient performer support and communication
• Session organization and dependable delivery
• Consent, privacy and safeguarding judgment
• Honest troubleshooting and collaboration
