Sound Technician Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Sound Technician with 3 years of experience in broadcasting and event management settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Sound Engineer with events and audio-visual consultancy DigiSound, where I work on client broadcast and event projects for some of the world’s leading brands. Mirroring your requirements, I collaborate closely with the project team to identify and plan goals, strategy, potential risks, and client needs. In particular, I manage the setup process for all sound equipment, direct broadcast engineering support throughout the project, and carry out diagnostics, troubleshooting and routine/preventive maintenance.

I possess a detailed understanding of broadcasting, production and programming systems, equipment, and industry regulations. As well as strong configuration and supporting experience with audio systems, I am thoroughly familiar with the latest digital consoles (SC48, Vi, X32, M32, etc.) and continually research emerging audio technologies. 

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and a Diploma in Studio Sound Engineering.

Due to budget cuts, my position has been made redundant. I am now seeking an equally stimulating opportunity where I can make a meaningful impact. I have heard great things about your company from a friend who works there. I would be delighted to join such a fun team! 

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours faithfully,

John Smith
