My name is Becky Pell and I am an anomaly. I’m a live sound engineer, and I’m a woman. It’s an unusual combination, but I’m rarely conscious of it until someone points it out…It is hard work and long days; you do have to work your way up and be prepared to get your hands dirty; and it’s really not glamorous at all most of the time. But I honestly believe that being a woman in this business is as much of a problem as you decide to let it be. And man it’s fun!
