SUNSPOTS PRODUCTIONS' TERA PARKS, CELEBRATES 6 YEARS AND 5,000 SESSIONS
AT SUNSPOTS FLORIDA STUDIOS
Engineer/Producer at SunSpots Orlando location reaches 6th Anniversary
Next time you’re in a voiceover session with Tera make sure you
wish her Happy Anniversary. She’s celebrating 6 years at SunSpots
Orlando recording studios this month.
How many sessions has she recorded over the past 6 years at SunSpots? “I
just looked on our database and I’m almost at 5,000 sessions. That’s
got to be thousands of spots!”, Tera says. Radio and TV commercials,
long form industrials, web 2.0 audio and every application you think
of where a voiceover and voice talent is needed has been recorded from
Tera's studio at
SunSpots
Productions.
Tera, who graduated with an A.S. in Audio from Full
Sail University in Winter Park, Florida came to SunSpots
looking for a foot in the recording studio door. “What I liked
about Tera when she first came to us was that she was really eager
to learn about the business. I loved her positive, even-keeled attitude”,
says Thomas Rohe, founder and co-owner of SunSpots Producitions, “She
started off answering phones, then doing voiceover talent booking/scheduling
and eventually running the day-which involves making sure talent have
scripts, clients are dialed and every session starts on time. When
she had the opportunity, she was sitting in with SunSpots’ audio
engineer and Florida studio manager,
Zak
Miller, learning the “SunSpots Way” of audio engineering
and commercial production. She picked up everything quickly. Now she’s
running sessions with talent and clients across the globe.”
She went from student to master in no time at all says Zak, “Tera
has turned into one of the best engineers I know. She has a great attention
to detail, and a sense of humor that keeps you on your toes.”
Jen Stevens, SunSpots Voice
Talent Coordinator, also feels Tera’s
laid-back attitude is helpful when things get a little hectic in the
studio, “She’s able to pick up last minute sessions with
a smile. Her attitude makes things so much easier.”
When she started six years ago, being a woman in the audio engineering/producing
field was uncommon and still remains so. “I do find that other
women notice it (being a female engineer). Like, sometimes, the female
talent and female directors will mention it in sessions, especially if
it’s all women together. One of our voice talent, Nancy
McLemore,
recently wrote me saying how ‘proud of me she is because I’m
the only female engineer she knows.’ I never really felt like I
was an exception, but I have felt like I had to prove myself with others
in the business. So, I made sure no one could criticize my skills by
working extra hard to be the best I can.”
Tera says her most memorable moment in session was, “Once where
we connected with a voiceover talent via ISDN. We were in the middle
of recording when all of a sudden, I heard this big, crashing sound.
The talent yelled out and he told me his homemade studio had collapsed
on him! He was ok and a little shaken up. It was funny at the time though.”
