Another IGS student worked in downtown Sydney and rubbed shoulders with some of the top producers in the country. He worked on musical scores for commercials and documentaries. He recorded some of his own tracks while in the studio. He networked with local bands and got invites to live shows.

Sound studio work is a great way to break into the music industry and discover if you have the passion and ability to find your niche in this competitive industry. The skills you bring to the placement will determine your job duties. If you are still learning the software and industry, there is still work you can do with social media marketing and studio setup. You will be allowed to sit in on recording sessions and learn as you go.
