I love ava cuz you literally get to enjoy the moment of joy when you realise you get to make a lot of people happy with the music and event which you have set up and coordinated

[@nameofthechannel8863]

I’m 19, i have an experienced on being a AV Technician for about 2 years in our school events. I just want to explore more about it. Thanks for the information you’ve shared.

[@kettnercreative]

Happy to help

[@WithGio]

I want to apply for this position in a job how’d you like it? any tips?

[@davidbreit3904]

Very well spoken. I’m a lead in the MIS/Systems department building huge customized builds in the stagehand industry and have done A/V before. It’s a crazy industry and I love it!

[@Tkibbs14]

I’m just about to start out being a full-time production technician and I’m extremely excited for it! What you described sounds exactly like what the local company does, and I’ll definitely be the youngest guy on the team, but I’m approaching it open minded and super eager to get to know the 11 other staff members. I’m glad I put my professional music experience on my resume, it certainly helps as a sound engineer getting to know both sides of the microphone and having a refined ear for musical elements.

[@soloricoo6617]

How’s it going now?

[@musicwithmendez3595]

i'm starting out in this field with only a few years of experience but I've really learned a ton in that short time. My specific dream job is to help with the production for major wrestling companies. these employers that turned my resume down don't know what tf they are missing out on.

[@sabuein]

Thank you.

[@KawahW1640]

Thanks for the great intro video! can you suggest some schools, preferably onine courses in Canada?

Thanks for your jobs. I will go Canadá for av job.

[@livelovelaugh473]

@Kettner Creative: What suggestions or advice would you give someone who is interested in just setting up things at a place of employment and school? Also, do you know anything about the home theater installation occupation?

[@livelovelaugh473]

[@stevenfilmco-8567]

I worked as a Audio Visual technician for a company but it felt like a pizza joint running around the city silly setting up equipment a 24 hour service they advertised as.....In wellington New Zealand

[@adegokepaulton5679]

Thank. I enjoy your lecture But I have some questions 1. I want to know more about AV and setting up the equipment, placement of speakers that will not give feedbacks? 2. Connect from laptop, PC, to projector and give sound?

[@donmac5124]

I think i may have found my true calling. Is there a chance you guys have positions in Edmonton?

[@pederolsen3489]

My dad is an audio visual engineer and I either wanna do that or motocross

[@kettnercreative]

Nice.

[@TTABBQ]

Forgot to mention the heavy labor part... stages and risers and lighting truss, furniture moving all AV headaches..

[@metapod666]

how do you learn how to eq a room so mics don't feedback and how do you learn how to use digital consoles if you don't have one?

[@roblmojr]

In your opinion, what's the best educational path for AV? Schools?

[@xavierostolaza6559]

Trade, I’m currently an AV technician and have worked for 2 different companies and they’ve taught me everything hands on and now I’m about to get into programming.

[@ImOzify]

@@xavierostolaza6559 nice, what kind of programming?

[@pioteko]

Did you have 0 experience before getting into those 2 companies? Or just some knowledge that you learned on your own time online or doing thigns for family that you could prove when you got to those companies?@@xavierostolaza6559

[@fiqryaizat9034]

Hi, should i get CTS certificate?

[@kettnercreative]

Great Questions. It depends on your employer. Some companies love certificates, some do not. In my experience, nice people who get along with the team and have the ability to problem solve and understand signal flow go a lot further than those who have a bunch of certificates.

[@Pwntious]

How can I send yall my resume? Been in AV for 12 years. Let me know!

[@Eatwithrahul]

Are you still looking for a job or job change?

[@Eatwithrahul]

@pwntious

[@AashutoshYakachha]

Hey bro from Sony

[@kettnercreative]

Thanks for the comment

[@JC-gz4hv]

Can you offer me a job?

[@C1K450]

There’s a lot of AV companies. Live Nation, AEG, Insomniac requires more experienced AV Technicians and engineers. Freeman and Encore has plenty of entry level work to learn as an apprentice or trainee.

[@Eatwithrahul]

@JC-gz4hv

[@Eatwithrahul]

Are you still interested in the job ?

[@MikesCoffeeGrind]

I am looking to grown my skill set. I have done AV in Dallas at the convention as an assistant. If your company travels around to set up for shows. Can you contact me?
