At 418 music group I help around the studio with helping to get newly released tracks on Spotify playlists, but what I mainly do is work with the one and only Steve 'Mr. Mig" Migilore, producing and recording vocal tracks for incoming artists that work at the studio!

At Starlite, I assist in the rental warehouse with prepping, shipping and returning rental orders. I primarily work within the video and lighting departments where I get the opportunity to work on and with a wide variety of high-end lighting and mixing consoles.

Kyle Foor
Acting House Studios, Medford, NJ
I was hired by Acting House Studios as a part of their production team for their brand-new TV show, The Acting House Show. AHS is a small business, so I take on a lot of different roles. The bulk of my work involves editing, but I also do cinematography, equipment management and organization. I’ve even had some opportunities to assist with directing. Since I started working there, I have seen considerable growth in my technological skills, as well as
learned how to function in a truly professional environment. I’m constantly exposed to new challenges and ideas that push me to keep expanding my skill set and growing as a professional.
I’ve found this job to be an incredibly rewarding experience. For me, it feels like I’ve finally taken my first step into the TV and film industry.
Pierre Raymond
RVN TV - Cherry Hill, NJ
My journey at RVN TV is what I would call a priceless experience. As an intern, my responsibilities went beyond my expectations as every day I learned new skills needed to succeed in the Media and Entertainment industry. Besides setting up Wirecast in the morning and recording/live-streaming shows throughout the day (a.k.a. running the board). I also assisted with setting up different sets for the shows, setting up the cameras (as well as ensuring their proper angles), setting up lights and microphones, editing show content, uploading shows to UStream/GDrive and the company website, etc. As my passion in this field continues to grow, my confidence to succeed has never been brighter thanks to the exceptional privilege of being part of the production team at RVN TV.

WIFI 1460am, Burlington, NJ & RadioVision Network, Mt. Laurel, NJ
I produced, scripted and hosted two sports information shows. One is a radio show broadcast over the air in Burlington County, New Jersey, and the other is a videocast program on the website RadioVision Network. My favorite class was Radio Production with Professor Jason Ruch. This class helped me organize my thoughts and create shows for my internship. It made me focus on what is needed to produce a radio show. Professor Ruch made this an easy learning experience by having us learn through hands-on activities.
Brandon Tomei

Unable Music Group, Cherry Hill NJ
At Unable, I helped out with lots off record-label projects. This included promotion, marketing, and general A&R assistance. I worked with bands and artists that came into the studio, as well as the ones that were on the label. Most of my work was done at home where I would research tons of different information to include in promotional campaigns. Also, I would sit in on important meetings with bands in which we discussed album dates, names, general plans and more. This then lead to me acquiring a publishing deal with Unable, and they put it up online for a digital release. This allowed me to hone my skills of audio recording/engineering and music making. This was a great experience for me and I learned how to perfect my craft and what it takes to create a quality release.

At St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, I assist with all of the masses on Sunday. I help set up the wireless microphone system they have in place and during the mass I help with levels and equalization. Aside from miking the speakers, I help adjust levels and set up microphones for the church band. RCBC's entertainment technology program definitely helped me lay a foundation for my field. It helped with the technical side of things. The professors were also a major help. They were always knowledgeable about any questions I had and helped provide insight into the broad scope of my career field.
Brett O’Donnell
RVN TV Network, Cherry Hill, NJ
At RVN TV, I worked as a production assistant, helping produce a myriad of talk shows on an online television network. As a production assistant, I was responsible for a wide variety of tasks, from miking guests and setting up cameras to running the board and preparing sets for shows and events. I’ve always enjoyed television and have always wanted to work in it, and the wonderful team at RVN helped me realize this as they helped me sharpen my skills. Working at RVN was an enjoyable experience and was made even better with the people I had the pleasure of working with. There was never a dull moment as I was always working on the next exciting show or talking to one of the many charmingly eccentric guests who always made an impression.
Talia Keebler
NBC Sports Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA
I am an intern at NBC Sports Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center. My role as a production assistant is very important. I help production by logging the Philadelphia sports games such as the Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, Phillies, etc. It's essential that I log the important plays of the game and scoring moments so production can pinpoint them out and add those clips to their show. I have also done some work with the camera and went into the locker room to interview players post game to get good shots for production. I am incredibly lucky and blessed for this experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Walter Klaus
DFX - West Berlin, NJ
My work as the lead audio engineer at DFX has certainly kept me busy! We are a full-service production company, meaning that we handle shows of all varieties and sizes. I have had the opportunity to work on everything from placing a small speaker in a hotel conference room to mixing a national broadcast on CNBC. Working here at DFX has been a great experience and
has exposed me to subfields in audio I had never before considered as a full-time career.
Salvatore Negro
The Acting House Show, Medford, NJ
At The Acting House Show studio, I am an editor, cameraman and sound engineer. A typical day at this studio involves looking back over footage and creating different content as needed. Our crew has been recording and editing content for their new TV show airing in September. This involves hours of recording the scenes with the actors and actresses at the set location then going back to the studio to edit. This hands-on experience has helped me strengthen the multiple skills needed to use while pursuing my career. In this field, it is imperative to be familiar with more than one skill, so I am grateful for RCBC and Professor Mailhiot for giving me the knowledge that led me to this experience.
Riel Dioquino
RVN TV Cherry Hill, NJ
At RVN TV, I work as a Production Assistant and Video Editor. In the studio, I help set up cameras, lighting and adjust mics on guests and hosts for different shows that we film throughout the day. I slowly became more of a Video Editor since I thought they needed more help editing shows with mistakes that needed to be edited out in Post-Production. I have some background in video editing, so I was happy to do that. Since then, I started shifting to creating content like intros, commercials and lower thirds for new shows coming up. I am very appreciative that I got the opportunity to come to this internship where I can be very hands-on and learn many new skills in the real-world environment.

Shawnee High School, Medford, NJ
At Shawnee High School, I assist the students in making, editing and developing their film clips. I hold props, check out equipment and sometimes, I'm even in their clips. In addition to working with the students, I am able to make blogs and do my own filming and editing. I have made a video clip and edited some videos for World Down Syndrome Day. I write and film a blog daily and I've worked on other videos of my own during down time. I was also able to put film and pictures together from a conference I did in Washington and submit the videos and pictures to the national organization holding the conference. It has been great doing an internship at Shawnee High School and working with the TV Tech Department.

Ashe Productions Cinematography and Video Artistry, Medford, NJ
I work as an editor for Ashe Productions. I edit weddings and special events, and assist on various video shoots. I've always loved the entertainment business and the program here is a great way to dip into the business without taking a nose dive off a cliff with sharks and pointy rocks at the bottom. It certainly opens up certain opportunities I didn't have before. Our program director, Professor Mailhiot is also extremely helpful by answering any questions you might have, going above and beyond to make sure you succeed.
Garrett Ballinger
Local Channel 19 Northern TV, Columbus, NJ
I started by assisting students in the Video Production Courses offered at Northern Burlington High School. Once the school year concluded, we held a video camp for incoming middle schoolers to introduce them to one of the applied technology courses available at Northern. Since then, I have been an integral part in the shooting and editing of several school-sponsored events as well as original projects written by those within Northern's Video Program.
Stephen Scian
The Sports Fan Base Network
At The Sports Fan Base Network, otherwise known as SFBN, I assist in different roles while covering sports broadcasts. During a typical day on the job, I can be seen working one of the cameras used for our live stream. We use up to three cameras during a typical broadcast, a fan camera, a tertiary camera and also the wide or main camera. When I am off camera, I am shadowing the director of the broadcast, while also watching the play by play, color commentator and producer. I have always had the desire to work in a sports-related profession and this is a perfect opportunity. The opportunity to be hands on with the camera and to be in direct communication with the director has taught me more than I could have imagined. Secondly, being able to watch the people around me in the jobs they are performing just adds to the learning experience.
Matthew Carnuccio
Gradwell House, Haddon Heights, NJ
At the Gradwell House, I have been sitting in on recording and mixing sessions, cleaning up the studio and helping them run live shows. It has been a blast being with them. Everyone is super relaxed and very knowledgeable and nice. This internship has been very beneficial for me. This experience has made me more excited to pursue this as my career. RCBC has given me a very clear picture of what this field will look like to work as a full time job, which has made me very prepared, giving me realistic expectations of what working at a studio would be like.
Joseph Gangemi
0x1 Sound Studios ,Cherry Hill, NJ
I was incredibly lucky to have an opportunity to intern at 0x1 Sound Studios, the base of operations for audio engineer and RCBC professor Jason Ruch. At 0x1, Jason works on a variety of audio categories — music, TV, film and podcasts, to name a few. At 0x1, I am learning the audio production process from top to bottom, and my time spent there included a lot of hands-on experience with the digital mixing board, as well as various pieces of professional-grade external hardware. A big part of my internship was helping Jason as he worked on foley sound design for a cartoon. For each and every episode, we would take real-world objects and manipulate them in a sound-treated booth, mimicking the actions onscreen to achieve practical sound effects. From footsteps to falling trees, just about every action onscreen requires foley accompaniment. We use an array of materials ranging from gentle cloth to harsh and loud metal objects. And there’s a lot more to my internship than just foley; Jason works with talented musicians all the time and helps to put their musical vision to record.
From here, I plan to continue developing my skills and become a well-rounded audio engineer in my own right. I would love to open a business in which I can complete any audio project that comes through the door.
Emily McCausland
St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church
I am interning at St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church in Cherry Hill, NJ. I am responsible for running the soundboard every other Sunday at the church during the services. When I am not running the sound, I help run the PowerPoint presentation that the Pastor has set up to run throughout the service. During the week, I help out in the office with anything that the Office Administrator needs done that day, whether it be making copies or working on the church’s website. Working here at the church has been an amazing experience for me and has taught me so much more about what I actually want to pursue in the future.
Connor Priest
Gradwell House Recording, Haddon Heights, NJ
I'm currently an Intern at Gradwell House Recording studio. Weekly maintenance involves keeping our rehearsal rooms in check by providing the right number of mics, cables, drum stands, hardware, guitar and bass amps for each room. Most days at the studio can vary; some days I sit in on mixing/mastering sessions, receiving insight on which techniques, analog gear and plug-ins are utilized, and what role they play in what will soon be the finished product. Other days I will help out with recording sessions, routing cables, setting up mics and being at hand for any other needs the engineers require. Session work is probably my favorite, being that it's very hands on, while also being able to watch a record come together. I'm extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work at one of my favorite local studios, while working/learning under engineers with an immense passion for music. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

I work in the communications department where I help create the media and the face for the O League. I shoot and edit the videos to showcase what we do here. I also help set up and run the social media presence for the O League.

I have also designed a new logo for the studio to use on business cards and T-shirts.
Bryce Tripodi
Riverview Studios, Bordentown NJ
At Riverview Studios, a full service media production company, my job is to lend a helping hand in whatever capacity I am needed in the studio. My jobs range from digitizing tapes for customers and the studio, to helping a customer use the studio for a video shoot. This internship has really been a great experience for me, because I learned a lot about the equipment and was able to edit a few projects. One of my favorite events was the Annual Guardian Dinner Dance. I got to help set up the equipment as well as work the camera, which to me seemed pretty interesting. This job has really enhanced my fondness for this industry and has given me some experience that will definitely be helpful in the future. My favorite class with Professor Mailhiot was ETV 102, because it it combines your teamwork skills as well as your filming and editing skills, which really helped me to find an internship.
Aidan Smith
Fellowship Alliance Chapel-Medford, NJ
At Fellowship Alliance Chapel, I have been able to enjoy helping out with the AV team. A typical week includes setting the stage for a various arrangement of instruments ranging from a flute to electric guitar, routing wires, and mixing the band from the front-of-house soundboard. It has been an unbelievable learning experience getting to work with different AV team members and musicians each week. This live sound experience at the church paired with what I have learned from RCBC's Sound Recording & Engineering program has set the stage for me to pursue my dream.
