thanks alot! i specialise more in recording i guess, but i'm still learning. and i'm really just looking to learn more when i'm back because i'd want to get a job here in singapore when i'm done with studies..

do you think any of the studios might need help even if it's just as somebody at the reception to pick up calls etc.?

btw i think it's cool that you're a one man studio and everything

jedianc : I'm not sure about how the proper full fledged studios operate as they vary and I can't advice well too I've never worked for a studio myself before , I just dropped out of school, did odd jobs and went directly into audio out of passion and fascination with sound itself. thanks for the compliment, but I don't have a studio, just that my gear is fully portable. i do location recording.

currently the local top favorite would be Snakeweed Studios under producer Leonard Soosay (run a search on facebook). you could try approach him as he's a nice guy.
my recommendation if you want a job with money matters in mind, you can apply for something more corporateish mediacorp or something. if you want a learning experience, you should apply to work under someone with experience and a longtime positive reputation (like leonard). and build up your portfolio from there. Most new guys here (including myself once a long time ago) start off offering free recording for bands or something in their own home studio then build up a portfolio before adjusting their rates.

what I definitely don't recommend to waste your time with, is applying to work at a studio but not taking your theory from UK into application a.k.a "picking up phone calls" haha. then you're better off hanging out at the library/borders/on google/youtube all day and self learning/checking out hot chicks.

keep us updated with your decision =) others reading can have a better idea.
