This was very useful to me as both a sound professional and a performance/sound artist (arguably even more useful to my work in the arts sector where it is sometimes hard to get valued!). The information is focused around production sound professionals but is of course applicable to many other areas of professional life. I liked the step-by-step approach combined with examples and experience in why we should apply this knowledge. Through Blas' informative and positive style I feel even more part of the global sound community and inspired to feel more confident in my professional communications so that everyone gets the terms they need in order to be sustainable, successful and achieve high-quality work where everyone can focus on the project itself. Strongly recommended to every freelancer!

This course really helped me to understand the monetary side of the industry. I am just starting to work my way into this industry. It really helped me to understand the basics of how this is a business as well as a creative industry. And the things that I will personally need to budget for. I do not plan on starting as a mixer, but it helps that I now know how a mixer budgets so that I can understand working along side them. I wish that film schools taught more of this alongside the creative aspects. I strongly recommend this course to mixers looking to improve their budget as well to as students, like myself, about to enter the industry and wanting to learn how the business works.
