Introduce Yourself : Carl Welden, Location Sound Guy by Carl Welden

Carl Welden, Location Sound Guy

I make a living with microphones, have a decades-strong background in VO and theater, plus own all my gear and love to travel. I'm based in New York's Hudson Valley / Catskills region, where I also have gigs as a studio manager, radio announcer, live sound engineer, event emcee, stagehand and voice artist. Happy to network and/or meet up in-person. Below is a link to my location sound resumé. Cheers! -Carl https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1KxKliQiY_Q6fFzLMy4WH-K_NdZu82IlK...

Nice one Carl!

I'm also a sound engineer, but in live concert touring.

I'm trying to transition into TV /Film; I'm in LA, so there's lots of that.

I love all aspects of film making not just acting; I well into camera too.

Anyway, I just wanted what's up and intro myself, I'm not selling anything, I'm just being social! Laters.

Hi Chris. Great to meet you.

Carl Welden

Thanks Chris! Nice meeting you! Yes, in addition to location sound, I also have my own live sound business for concert and corporate gigs. They are definitely two different animals. My live rig fills an entire vehicle and is about $5k worth of gear, whereas my location Sound kit fits in two suitcases full of $20k worth of gear. A Shure SM58 is $99 bucks vs a Sennheiser MKH50 at $1,250 for example. My best advice: protect your hearing!
