Sound advice from Scotland

Heather Andrews, a dubbing mixer and sound designer, who has worked on ITV crime drama Karen Pirie, was talking about working in sound at a ScreenSkills/RTS Scotland session this month.

Offering advice, Andrews said: “Learn from the people doing it… If people think you’re good and they really like you, they’ll keep giving you work.”

Andrews cautioned, however, that the work comes in peaks and troughs, which can leave you exposed in what is largely a freelance industry.
