There are a couple of small things you can watch. My partner and I did one of us doing Foley sound for the weather, which was fun. There’s another one that the BBC just did on me which is kind of interesting. They’re not very long. They’re like three minutes long. I don’t know if you saw the one … it’s the two British Foley Artists doing Foley for a show with a boat and a fishing dock. It’s so beautifully done. It’s probably, I think, one of the best things done about Foley. It’s really a fun thing to watch.
Don’t be afraid to get a job in something that you think you have no interest in, because you never know where that’s going to lead. Our now-retired Mixer, her Recordist was a Security Guard at Warner Brothers. He met her and asked if he could sit in and watch, and then he became a Recordist.
That’s not a normal path. Warner Brothers have a really great tour and they’re hiring Tour Guides all the time. It’s different from being a Tour Guide at Universal, just because that’s more of a theme park. Warner is a really good tour because it’s a working studio. I say be a Tour Guide. Just get in. You’re around people, and sometimes they go to the Foley stage. You just never know where the opportunity is going to be.
