PINEAPPLE STREET STUDIOS INTERNSHIPS

Description: 

Pineapple Street Studios was founded in 2016 in Brooklyn, NY, with a clear, simple mission in mind: work with the most interesting and ambitious creative and corporate partners to create the highest quality audio stories in a variety of forms and across a range of genres. We take pride in our flexible approach to partnerships and we strive to make shows that represent a diversity of ideas, communities, and interests. 


We are excited to offer three remote six-month long training positions at Pineapple Street Studios. These positions offer the opportunity to do exciting and meaningful work on various shows and learn about diverse production styles and roles in the industry. 


The PSS production apprenticeship is meant to be a great growth experience for applicants who already possess some audio skills. A great candidate may have already had an internship and is comfortable editing in a DAW like Hindenburg or ProTools.


The PSS production internship is intended to be a learning experience for those who are passionate about audio storytelling. A great candidate may be switching careers and pivoting to audio for the first time or has made an independent podcast in their closet. 


The PSS engineering internship is intended to be a learning experience for those who are passionate about sound engineering and design. A great candidate will have some familiarity with recording and editing in a DAW like Hindenburg, Audition, or ProTools.
