Studio managers from three of the most successful studios in audio recently came to the CRAS to talk to students about the realities of a career in audio. Paula Salvatore (Capitol Studios, LA); CRAS graduate Crystal Olsen (GrooveMaster Studios, Chicago) and Candace Stewart (East/West Studios, LA) talked to a large group of students, then later met with them individually to answer more specific questions about working in a major studio.

“We’re happy to have managers of this level visit the CRAS,” says Administrator Kirt Hamm. “It gives our students a look at what goes on in the major recording centers and reinforces what we tell them each day about the value of hard work and the importance of basic audio and people skills.”
