Audio Technician Jobs in Virginia

An Audio Technician in the broadcasting industry is responsible for setting up, operating and maintaining the electronic equipment used to capture, edit and transmit audio in a broadcasting company. They ensure the sound quality in productions such as radio, television, concerts, or film is of the highest quality.

An Audio Technician typically needs a degree in audio production, broadcasting, or a related field, and some positions may require certification from an organization such as the Society of Broadcast Engineers. Prior roles that a person may hold before becoming an Audio Technician include Audio Assistant, Sound Editor, or Broadcast Assistant.
