Production Sound Recordist — Client Project
Aru Labs | Project-based opportunity
Aru Labs is looking for a Production Sound Recordist / Location Sound Mixer for an upcoming independent web-series project being produced for a client.
This is a project-based opportunity, not a permanent position at Aru Labs.
The series is a character-driven story exploring startups, ambition, relationships, friendship, money, and life.
We're looking for someone who can capture clean, natural, and cinematic production sound across different locations and shooting environments.
What you'll do
- Record production dialogue during filming
- Set up and operate professional location sound equipment
- Select and position microphones based on each scene
- Work closely with the Director and DOP
- Monitor dialogue and ambient sound throughout each take
- Maintain clean audio levels and recordings
- Manage wireless microphones and boom recording
- Record useful room tone and location ambience
- Identify and communicate sound issues before or during takes
- Maintain organized audio files and backups
- Coordinate with the post-production sound team when required
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Strong attention to detail
- Calm and collaborative approach on set
- Experience in films, web series, short films, commercials, music videos, or documentary production is welcome.
