How to Become a Music or Video Producer




Hi everybody, I'm John Stinson, owner and director of TRCOA and Stinson Recording Studios.

If you're watching this, you are probably asking the question, how does someone get into the music or video production business? How does someone become a successful audio engineer or digital film maker?

The main thing to understand about the entertainment business is that it is primarily entrepreneurial based. This means that for you to become successful, you will literally learn your craft, start working with potential clients, creating real products, then eventually strike business deals that will allow you to establish a sustainable career. As you work with more and more clients, more and more opportunities will arise.

Here at TRCOA, Through the use of our extensive tech package, professional studios and one on one mentorship style classes, we're going to provide a structure and equipment to work with real people, create professional productions, and then actively attempt to build client relationships and business.

What sets us apart is our classes are mostly one on one, we’re more cost effective than most of the big schools, and we focus on projects, entrepreneurship and business.

Some of our graduates have had the great fortune of working with some of the biggest names in the industry. But more importantly, our students work with endless amounts of both medium level and beginning level artists. If you are as passionate about music and video production as we are, then we would be super excited to see how we could help you achieve your dream of a career in the industry.

Please fill out an information request or call to schedule a virtual or in-person tour. We look forward to hearing from you..

-John Stinson
