Sound Technician Mix and In-Ear Monitors

Objectives

I am a sound technician who would like to work for a band doing concerts or touring with it.

It will be interesting for a band for two reasons.

First, the band will work in good conditions. I already saw the difference when a band has a sound technician or not.  When the musicians arrive on stage, it's a new place, new people so when they check the sound before the concert it's not the same thing when it's a friend who does the sound. It is less nervosity for the band because it used to work with its sound technician.

And I will develop the quality of the music doing the mix to respect what you did during the creation of the songs.

It is also a motivation for me to always work on the same songs during a tour to try to find the perfect mix to make people enjoy what they may already like on the CD but with the bonus of a live performance.

Working with a band will make me work in different conditions.

It's really interesting for a sound technician to be in various places like little or big clubs, inside or outside or to be in various countries who means using different equipments.

My principal objective right now is to move quickly in United-States.

Of course I know that it can be a constraint for someone to hire me because I need a visa. But actually for you, it just means a call and a paper to send.

Normally when you have a dream, you do all the things by yourself to bring you this dream but in my case, I have to find someone with a job for me, to give me my dream.

I am in freelance so I am not asking a salary. I am paid for the concerts that I do. I will prefer to be paid of course at least a little bit, I can work for you for almost nothing if you are ready to bring me the visa. I just want to go out of my actual situation and start something.
