What does an Intern Audio Engineer do?

An Intern Audio Engineer assists professional audio engineers in recording, editing, and mixing sound for music, film, television, or live events. Their tasks often include setting up audio equipment, managing cables, operating recording software, and troubleshooting technical issues. They also learn about audio production techniques and industry standards while gaining hands-on experience in a studio or live setting. This role is typically designed for students or recent graduates seeking to develop foundational skills in audio engineering.

What is the difference between Intern Audio Engineer vs Audio Technician?

AspectIntern Audio EngineerAudio Technician
CredentialsBasic audio coursework, some hands-on experienceTechnical certifications, specialized training
Work EnvironmentLearning-focused, entry-level settings, studios, live eventsOperational, maintenance, setup at venues, studios
Employer & Industry UsageMusic, film, broadcasting companies, internshipsBroadcast stations, live event companies, audio service providers

The main difference is that Intern Audio Engineers are typically students or beginners gaining experience, while Audio Technicians are more focused on technical setup and maintenance. Interns often work under supervision and are in training, whereas Audio Technicians handle operational tasks independently. Both roles are essential in audio production but differ in responsibilities and experience levels.

What types of projects and responsibilities can I expect as an Intern Audio Engineer?

As an Intern Audio Engineer, you’ll typically assist with recording sessions, set up and break down audio equipment, and support senior engineers during mixing and mastering. You may also help maintain studio gear, catalogue session files, and occasionally edit or clean up audio tracks. Interns often get hands-on experience by shadowing professionals, learning signal flow, and participating in team meetings. This exposure not only builds technical skills but also helps you understand workflow dynamics and collaboration within the audio production team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Intern Audio Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Intern Audio Engineer, you need a foundational understanding of sound engineering principles, audio recording techniques, and basic music theory, often acquired through coursework or a relevant degree program. Familiarity with digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Pro Tools or Logic Pro, as well as audio editing and mixing software, is typically expected. Strong attention to detail, effective communication, and a collaborative attitude help you work efficiently with artists and production teams. These skills and qualities are crucial for producing high-quality audio, meeting project deadlines, and building a successful career in audio engineering.

BROADCAST TECHNICAL OPERATIONS:

The Technical Operations internship resides within WGAL's Engineering department. This internship includes actual "hands on" operation of equipment under the observation of permanent tech op staff members. The goal of this internship is to expose the student to real world daily technical operations in a television station. The training of the interns would be similar to what would be taught in a vocational/technical school.

Each intern will gain a general understanding of the following technical areas:

  • Control Room/Studio Operations (Floor Direct, Audio, Directing)
  • Air Operations (Master Control)
  • ENG Receive
  • IT

After completing time in each of the above areas, the remainder of the program will be designated for students to return to their area(s) of choice to gain additional training. The intern's scheduled days will remain the same from week to week however, hours will vary.

Equipment Use:  As the purpose of the internship is to gain training in the technical areas, students will be allowed to touch and train on the technical equipment. Use of the equipment will be limited and closely supervised and monitored.

Internships are scheduled based on mutual availability and academic schedule and requirements, but may consist of up to 24-hours per week
