Ben Manilla Productions Audio

The place where I decided to have my internship was BMP Audio. BMP is a small local production studio, started up by Ben Manilla who is a pioneer of contemporary audio production, Ben has been at the vanguard of creative radio since the mid ’70s. Recognized by professionals around the world for his award-winning programming and innovative production style. I would like to go in to the radio business and I hope this placement would help me to find out what kind of roles are needed to produce radio. I hope to gain hands on experience and knowledge in specific jobs as I haven’t yet had much experience in the area yet. I believe this placement will help me out to figure what kind of career in the business I would like to pursue. I would be working with Erik as he produces his radio program and I will be helping him in anyway I can, he will teach me basic live radio techniques and skills when it comes to the technology side inside a studio. I will also be working with Devon Strolovitch and Ben Manilla in their own programs and solo projects. I will be meeting and working with people that have different ages and backgrounds who have different tastes in music and I hope this placement would also open up different types and genres that I haven’t listened to before. I hope to enjoy my time BMP and after the workshop module has finished I would like to carry on there. I think mixing this placement with the college radio station will help gain a variety of skills that can be transferred between each other and in to future work placements.
