If you are going to be a recording artist, you have to be in school. You have to study the required courses and lessons before you can become a real recording artist. Of course, there are certain factors that you have to consider when choosing a recording school. Mostly, your choice depends on your budget, standards and residence. You will likely choose a recording school that is near your residence. Then again, if you cannot manage to pay for the rent then you can choose a school that you want regardless of the distance. There are available apartments and rooms to rent around the school if you want. At the same time, you can easily access restaurants, banks, shops, post offices etc. at your chosen place. Jimi Petulla, CEO and founder of Recording Connection emphasize the need of training when attending a recording school. Therefore, when choosing the school you might as well consider the availability of trainings, equipments and recording studios that the school should be able to provide. Apart from the lectures which usually take place in classrooms there should be actual trainings. These trainings should happen in real recording studios with film director, studio managers, engineers, staff, producers, band and musicians. You will learn how things work in a real recording studio. Unlike at lectures when you only get a one-dimension idea of how things work at studios. With recording studios, you can see how these people work on their craft. You can learn a lot of valuable info from them which most school professors would not be able to teach you.

All people have heard about the world-famous director notoriously known for his Kill Bill series and other films like Inglorious Basterds. At an interview, we came to know that he never attended film school, yeah it is true. Not all geniuses need to graduate from a film school; there are always those odd ones out who with time make a name for themselves as true geniuses. He is none other than Quentin Tarantino; but that said, it doesn’t mean that those who do not graduate from a film school for directors are fools or not geniuses. Some people get the opportunity to make a name a bit easily like for example some might land an internship with a well-known face and thus can come up on their own with that experience. But some others need a direction and a stepping ladder to take them up towards glory and that is where the film schools come into play. Some people who have seen both people who are eccentric and make films which have a twisted take on certain philosophies and psychology win academy awards; but there are those who are products of film schools who also go on to win the acclaimed recognition. In order to fine tune skills, it would be better to attend film school especially if one wishes to excel in fields like editing, post-production, animation and the like. However, in the end only one thing counts and that is talent, if there is no talent then nothing works. 

When Darwin and Susan parted ways, they knew that their daughter, Cindy, would be most affected. True enough, Cindy showed signs and symptoms of being troubled almost immediately after she found out about what happened to her parents’ marriage. All of a sudden, she lost her motivation to excel in school. She failed in her mastery exams at least two times in one quarter. This is not normal considering that Cindy is vying for top honors in her batch. She also lost interest in so many activities that used to keep her preoccupied whether on school days or school break. As soon as Darwin and Susan found out about Cindy’s problems in school, the ex couple felt very guilty. They know they are responsible for their daughter. If only they kept their marriage intact, Cindy would not need to go through so much in her young life. Wanting to make up for their shortcomings as parents, Darwin and Susan agreed to make themselves ever present in their child’s life, even if they are already separated. True to their promise, Darwin comes to see Cindy every so often. Most of the time, he tutors Cindy after classes. Just last week, Darwin showed Cindy how to fractions to decimals. When he asked her “how do you subtract fractions?” Cindy was ready with her answer, which made Darwin very happy. At least, they won’t need to worry anymore about Cindy failing in her subjects. Susan, who is with Cindy most of the time, try to talk to her all the time, making sure that her daughter is not hiding anything from her. So far, it seems that Susan and Darwin are doing a great job.

Next to cost, most people will look at the location of the schools when deciding whether to enroll or not. This is a natural reaction for many, and surely you cannot prevent others from considering the location of the school. Actually, the location of the school can be considered a cost as well. If the school is located hundreds of miles away from home, then you can expect that the household will have to cover the costs of travel and the daily living allowance of the students. This is the reason why many students and their families are looking for the closest school possible without having to sacrifice quality. This is our principle as well when looking for the right school for audio engineering and education. We don’t just pay attention to  cost, we also consider the location. So when we heard that recording connection is a leading name, the first thing that we asked was its location. Where is the recording connection located?  Are there offices in the major cities? The good news is that yes, this school has offices in top cities like Los Angles and nearby areas which you can find them here. The great thing is that this institution also maintains offices in other areas that include Baton Rouge, Atlantic City and Fairbanks. With a wide network for its schools, it is highly recommended that you enter first a local school before you set your eyes  on the top schools and  training centers of Los Angeles and New York.

One of my favorite hobbies is watching movies. It doesn’t matter if the movies are old or new, as long as those movies have truly great story lines and cinematography. I am particular with cinematography because I think that the theme and environment of the movie should be taken into full consideration to be able to make a full connection with the viewer. Take for example movies done by Jimi Petulla. These movies have great cinematography. The cinematography creates a sense of connection to the viewer by making the environment realistic and filled with themes eliciting wanted emotions. You would sense if the cinematography isn’t working if the movie has no general theme and the scenes seem to be all over the place. With the filmmaker being a philanthroper too, it is important that he’s aware of the surroundings that are being presented in the movie, and the theme that is being evoked throughout the movie. Like when I watch a movie, I want the theme to center on topic or subject or area. If the movie is a love story, then the story or the movie should revolve around that theme, the theme being about love and the couple in love. Going against the theme or straying away from it may confuse the viewers and would think that the movie is two different movies stacked into one. I especially like movies that have different stories intertwining each other into one central theme as this gives a certain feeling of being resolved.

My name is Norman. I just want to tell everyone how nice and affordable it is to enroll in a culinary school. I am not a big-earner. But I’ve always wanted to become a chef. I always wanted to cook good food and satisfy both myself and the people. I’ve always dreamt that since I was a child and still nothing has changed. Enrolling in a culinary school, would of course be expensive and would entail additional expenses. I am talking about supplies, tools, books, uniforms and all other stuff related to cooking. I knew that these expenses will surely tire the hell out of my purse if I continue this bold dream. But when I came across Culinary Connection, I knew one good thing for sure. I was close in fulfilling my bold and expensive dream. This school offers the lowest rate in all of the known culinary schools in the US and it gives more than what you pay. When I enrolled at the connection, I had myself spared of books, supplies, online materials, knives, uniforms because everything was integrated to the tuition. With this affordability, and convenience, I have gone to a very honest conclusion: that to learn to be a chef is a good, affordable service. But it’s more than that. Culinary connection teaches people how to cook, using the best ingredients and the latest techniques, and how to love what the cook.  With that I still recommend you enrolling to a good culinary school where your gourmet chef teacher is just next door.

I was part of the music scene in my high school and college years, trying to find a new sound to combat the artificial meanderings of “dubstep” that held back music and pushed it into the Eighties electronica once more. However, history deemed our works inferior and our much hated nemesis dubstep and its progenitor, Skrillex, was able to prevail. I thought our music career was over and there was no hope left to save the music world from the use of Macintosh laptops as musical instruments and autotune to turn anyone into a (robotically sounding) singer. I even saw on YouTube that autotuning the news was a big thing, such that anyone who speaks can be turned into “music”. I feel betrayed by the industry because I firmly believe that computers should have no place in making real music. Luckily, I came upon the FAQ of one Recording Connection school that teaches Canadian students how to become audio engineers and sound technicians. I read the Frequently Asked Questions of the Recording Connection site, learned that they give financial aid to students in need (like a part-time worker like me) by offering a multitude of financial assistance offers that fits any budget. I enrolled and became part of the Recording Connection mostly because I want to get back into the music industry and help it go back to its roots when music was music instead of fake, manufactured electronica synthesized by some guy’s computer. I went to one of the best audio engineering schools in the world so that I could stop the music industry from turning music into a computerized mess, like confusing artistry with Photoshop. That is my mission. That’s why I’m part of the Recording Connection.
