According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womensaudiomission.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Women\u2019s Audio Mission<\/a>, women constitute only five percent of those creating the \u201csounds and media\u201d in our lives. At HARMAN and throughout the industry, however, women\u2019s artistry, technical brilliance and business acumen impact much of the work we do. We look forward to celebrating some their achievements with you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4326\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-31-e1494955136824.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"223\" \/>In our debut installment, I\u2019d like to introduce the multitalented Becky Pell. A native of Yorkshire, England, Becky spends much of her time touring the world while incorporating her three passions\u2014mixing monitors, yoga and writing.<\/p>\n<p>Becky has served as a monitor engineer for artists such as A-ha, Il Divo, Muse, Westlife, Anastacia, Sarah Brightman, Natalie Imbruglia and others as well as a monitor tech for Kylie Minogue, Black Crowes and Travis. Each year, Becky also oversees the main stagemonitors at the Glastonbury Festival in England. While on the road, she frequently teaches yoga to the artists and crew, helping them stay calm, focused and balanced. When not on the road, Becky leads workshops, retreats and courses in yoga and meditation<\/p>\n<p>I recently spoke with Becky as she and her husband, Australian front of house engineer Chris Pyne, were packing to move back to Australia from London. She told me that two weeks after the move, she would return to England to start a tour with Anastacia, who she has worked with for eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Becky first set her sights on a career in tour sound as a pre-teen, although her interest in yoga didn\u2019t blossom until a couple decades later. \u201cBeing a sound engineer was all I wanted to do from the age of 12, when I went to my first gig. I saw the band <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A-ha\">A-ha<\/a> and happened to sit behind the front of house engineer,\u201d she said. \u201cI found I had a very visceral reaction to music. I loved the way it had such power to affect emotions, and that really inspired me. I realized there was a whole industry, and you could have a job working in it. As I learned more, I discovered there was a thing such as a monitor engineer as well as a front of house engineer. From that first show, the spark was lit. Down the line, I actually wound up spending five years as a monitor engineer for A-ha. It was a really nice full circle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom quite early on, I liked how monitor engineers, who are responsible for what artists hear on stage, are involved at the hub of the action, have that relationship with the band and are quite closely involved with the performance. I was drawn toward blending a people experience with the creativity of mixing sound,\u201d said Becky.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she was old enough, Becky enrolled in the School of Audio Engineering (now the SAE Institute) in London and commuted 160-miles each way twice a week from Manchester for classes. When the School of Sound Recording (SSR) opened in Manchester, even though the program wasn\u2019t focused on live sound engineering, she immediately transferred.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4323\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown1-e1494954310212-720x450.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hpro-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/insights\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown1-e1494954310212-720x450.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/hpro-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/insights\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown1-e1494954310212-340x213.jpeg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIt was all very studio based,\u201d she said, \u201cbut still seemed like a foot in the door and taught me the basics of theory.\u201d After graduating, Becky worked in a couple of studios, \u201cmaking the tea and sweeping the floor.\u201d She wrote to numerous listings in the then industry bible, \u201cThe White Book,\u201d but didn\u2019t receive a single reply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day, I spotted an ad for a sound company in London. RG Jones Sound Engineering was looking for an engineer. I knew I was under qualified, but applied anyway. They invited me in for an interview and offered me a position as an apprentice,\u201d she said. A week later, she started and stayed for five years. \u201cBy then, I had started to mix monitors a lot, went freelance and got into touring more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One day, when Becky was in her early 30s and living in Australia, she spontaneously took a yoga class that was included in her gym membership. \u201cIt was just like that first A-ha gig. I fell in love with yoga in the same way I fell in love with being a sound engineer. It was very much a bolt of lightening in both cases. I knew I wanted to have yoga as a big part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These days, Becky teaches yoga on almost every tour she goes on and has recently qualified as a yoga therapist. \u201cI generally teach an hour class either before or after soundcheck for the band or artist or whoever wants to be involved. It gives people an opportunity to do something productive and good for themselves during the working day,\u201d she said. \u201cIt also bonds people and keeps the positive vibes up, which is a great thing. For my own personal practice, it\u2019s incredibly beneficial. I also generally do an hour-long practice in the morning before I load in. It keeps me centered, balanced and patient. It\u2019s a really vital part of my routine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4325\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-6-e1494955662836-720x450.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hpro-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/insights\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-6-e1494955662836-720x450.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/hpro-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/insights\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-6-e1494955662836-1170x731.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/hpro-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/insights\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-6-e1494955662836-340x213.jpeg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Teaching yoga, like mixing monitors, involves a high level of trust between Becky and the artists with whom she works. \u201cMy aim on stage is to create a comfortable audio environment and a good working relationship,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s the same in the yoga class. I want people to feel comfortable with me, comfortable in that space and, ultimately, comfortable in their own bodies and minds. It\u2019s quite interrelated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was curious how Becky cultivates those kinds of relationships with artists. \u201cIt\u2019s all about being open, professional and making sure they know you\u2019ve got their back,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a monitor engineer, you\u2019re kind of an avatar for that person\u2019s mix. You\u2019re trying to give them what they need, so they can forget about the technicalities and give their best performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with a new artist, it\u2019s important to get off on the right foot, right from the start,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to go in being friendly and confident, and find out what they <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4324\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Unknown-5-e1494955375482.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"329\" \/>want. It\u2019s really a two-way street. It\u2019s important to really talk to them, to understand what they\u2019re used to hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you first start out, it\u2019s important to have a conversation about what instruments they tend to pitch to. Typically, with a singer, they like a lot of keys or piano, but other singers prefer more guitar,\u201d said Becky. \u201cIt\u2019s what they need to find their way in the music. Then, it\u2019s learning if they like a very full mix or something more stripped down and simple. Of course, there are always tweaks in the early days of working together, so there\u2019s a lot of reliance on sign language. It\u2019s easier when you\u2019ve been working with a particular artist for a while. Once you get used to hearing what they like, you instinctively know what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Between tours and yoga retreats, Becky enjoys writing. She maintains her <a href=\"http:\/\/rocknrollyogi.com\/author\/beckypell\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Yogi blog<\/a>, is a regular contributor to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundgirls.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">SoundGirls<\/a>, a comprehensive website for women in audio and music production, and is putting the final touches on two books\u2014a yoga book for children and a self-help book.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if she has any advice for people first entering the business of tour sound, Becky said, \u201cIf you\u2019re thinking of getting into this industry, and it really lights you up, I would say go for it, but be prepared to have a thick skin. Take some knockbacks, and when you have a few doors slammed in your face, don\u2019t give up. Keep pushing through, because it\u2019s a fantastic way to earn a living. You make some great friends, get to work with something you love and travel the world. Be prepared, though; it is hard work. You\u2019re not going to waltz out of college and be mixing a big band any time soon. There\u2019s a lot of groundwork you have to cover that being at college doesn\u2019t teach. The only way is to get involved and work your way up. There are trucks to be loaded, cables to be cleaned and floors to be swept. It\u2019s not glamorous; it\u2019s hard work. But if you really want to get further up the ladder, it\u2019s worth it, because you get to learn the industry inside out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her years on the road, Becky said, \u201cI\u2019m really very lucky. I have three great ways of spending time on my career\u2014three ways that don\u2019t feel like work at all!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Becky for the insights into her multifaceted professional life.
