About the Candidate

my name is Ria Deherkar, I recently graduated within the field of music technology, where I specialised in live audio engineering. Throughout my degree, I obtained extensive experience, and a hands-on working knowledge of different types of audio equipment, such as working with various types of microphones,  analogue and digital mixing consoles, and experimenting with elements of audio such as acoustics, soundscapes, spatialisations and manipulation of audio, and  impulse responses.

I’ve also worked as a live sound engineer at the Visconti studio live room and in live music bars, where I held the responsibility for  managing audio quality,  ringing out a live sound system, troubleshooting issues on the spot, and creating an engaging and immersive experience for an audience.

I am highly interested to work in the AV field, as i envision myself bringing my specialised skillset in audio technology to the job role, and see potential for growth and job stability in this field.

Although i haven’t directly worked in the AV field, i am very eager to learn and strengthen my skills in visual systems. Additionally, i strongly think that my experience as a live sound engineer, and the ability to handle stressful and chaotic live sound event issues has prepared me well to work in this field.
