In this episode of Sound Design Live, I speak with freelance recording engineer and a sound system tuning expert for automotive audio and electrical consumer products, Shelley Uprichard. She walks us through sound system tuning for some of the biggest car manufacturers in the world (using mostly free tools and listening!) and how she got started in the automotive industry. I ask:

  • How did you get your first job in audio?
  • How are you finding clients for system tuning?
  • Can you take me on a tour of a day in your life?
  • What are your favorite Danish bands?
  • What is the work opportunity for audio like in Copenhagen?
  • What’s in your work bag?
