What I liked about Kalinga Production Studios was how comfortable and relaxed the work environment was and how nice and accommodating all the staff was. I was able to sit in and assist on recording sessions and learn more about the business aspects of working in a recording studio. It was quite the informative experience.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been given even more time to assist on recording sessions or have an opportunity to improve my skills in mixing and post production work. All in all though, this internship was everything I could have wished for and more.
Advice
One thing to be aware of when working in any recording studio is that there needs to be a good balance between being helpful/accommodating and not being in the way. One has to learn to read the room and interact with others in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. The last thing you want to do is ruin the vibe in the studio and make people feel uncomfortable or not want to come back.

What I liked
I really liked the people that work at Kalinga, the work involved of refurbishing and updating an old studio, being part of a team building a new exciting space out of something old. I had a great time learning how to produce and make more productive choices in the studio while recording and mixing.
What I wish was different
I wish I had some more defined expectations and some more official tasks or projects. I was able to contribute a lot still without everything being written out and official, though.
