Freelancing Roadmap: Your How-To Guide to Find and Land Audio Post Production Jobs
Great Sound Means Nothing If No One Knows You Exist.
You’ve got skills.
You’ve learned Pro Tools, RX, layering, cutting, mixing.
You can handle a short film, maybe even a feature.
But let’s be honest:
Where the hell are the clients?
How do you actually get hired —again and again— in post-production audio?
Nobody teaches this stuff.
Not in school. Not in workshops.
And definitely not on YouTube.
So if you’re tired of vague advice like
“put yourself out there!” or
“don’t give up!”
You’re in the right place.
Introducing: The Freelancing Roadmap
Your How-To Guide to Find and Land Audio Post Jobs — Without Guessing.
This isn’t a pep talk.
This is the real, tactical system I used to go from a total unknown to working full-time in post houses, landing freelance clients, and building a reputation that gets me hired again and again.
You’ll learn exactly how to position yourself, where to find clients, how to stand out, and how to lock in repeat business — all using a step-by-step process that actually works.
What You'll Learn Inside This Course:
- How to Actually Market Yourself as a Post-Audio Freelancer
- What to say. Where to say it. And how to stop sounding like everyone else.
- How to Build a Demo Reel That Gets Watched (and Hired Off Of)
- No fluff montages. No meaningless noise. Just real examples of what clients want to see.
- How to Create an Optimized Portfolio Website That Converts
- Includes examples, do’s/don’ts, and layout breakdowns. Because your site isn’t just a bio —it’s a sales machine.
- How to Write a Resume That Doesn't Get Tossed
- Skip the corporate B.S. and learn how to tailor your resume for film, TV, and post-audio studios.
- Where to Actually Find Gigs
- Job boards are dead. Referrals are slow. I’ll show you the strategies that landed me work year after year — even when no one was hiring.
- Psychology-Based Strategies to Get Rehired and Referred
- Be the freelancer who gets remembered (for the right reasons). These small tweaks = repeat clients.
- Scripts for Messaging Clients, Following Up, and Asking for the Job
- No awkward pitches. Just clear, confident communication that builds trust and wins work.
Why This Course Exists
I’m Vanessa Flores — a 2x Emmy-nominated sound editor featured in the LA Times official book Breaking Into New Hollywood.
And when I started?
I had no roadmap, no contacts, and no clue how to turn my skills into income.
So I built this course to give you the playbook I wish I had — not just to survive in this industry, but to build something sustainable, scalable, and respected.
Who This Course Is For
You’re in Year 1 of your freelance journey
You’ve got skills. Maybe a few credits. But you’re still figuring out how to turn all that into consistent, paid work — and fast.
You just finished film school (or dropped out)
You learned the software. Maybe even got solid feedback from your instructors. But no one taught you how to get hired. This course fills the gap between graduation and your first real paycheck.
You’re switching from studio life to freelance
You’ve been behind the desk. You know your stuff. But you’ve never had to find your own clients — and now you need a battle-tested plan to make it work.
You tried freelancing before and burned out
Maybe you made a portfolio. Maybe you even landed a client or two. But the momentum died. Nothing was consistent. This course helps you relaunch with a system that sticks.
You don’t want hype — you want a roadmap
You’re not here for empty motivation. You want strategies that work, scripts that land, and a process that gets you booked again and again. That’s exactly what this delivers.
