The guest lecturer this week was Luke Pickering, an ex student from the University Of Lincoln. Luke currently works as an assistant engineer to Paul Epworth at the famous Church Studios in London. Luke graduated for the Audio Production course about five years ago, before landing the job at Church Studios Luke said he was struggling to find relevant work and did a lot of little things to keep him busy this included free lance work and being a lecturer at the University, he actually teached me studio techniques in level one.

Luke talked about the importance of being persistent when trying to land a job, he suggested we do anything and everything we can and take any opportunity if one should present itself . Luke suggested that we sign up to a studio agency called Miloco, this agency offer work experience programs within studios.

One of the key things I took away from Luke’s lecture, was the concept of thinking about the industry as a “service industry” he said we should understand that a company is taking a chance by involving us with their client’s experience and when we are delegated tasks, no matter how small they are we should take them very seriously.Working in the studio environment will require us to be proactive and out of the way.
