ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author argues that internship had a direct effect on his professional drumming career. The author suggests that internship gave connections to one of the best studios in Austin. An internship is a way to get foot in the door. An internship can be found through a college, university, or audio school program while readers are in attendance. Reader's local paper, online sites, or trade magazines also have ads for internships. These three advertisement/applications are examples of what a studio might ask and expect of an intern. A good studio owner will reward people with some free studio time or at least get people involved in sessions by having people do things like move mics, roll cables, perform patches, burn Compact Discs, and other assisting duties. Many studios use interns to help build out new rooms and provide labor on other construction projects around the studio.
