The “White Glove” Service: Engineering Client Recording Sessions Remotely

Podcast engineers can earn very good money by offering a type of “white glove” service: Being present in online recording sessions to help soundcheck all participants (hosts, guests), handle any technical issues that arise (not uncommon) and of course record the entire session including backups.

This way, the client doesn’t have to worry about ANYTHING except conducting a good interview. I’ve been doing this for years and CLIENTS LOVE IT.

NOTE: The engineer is not actually appearing or speaking on the podcast itself, he/she is just hanging out in the background making sure everything runs smoothly.

What do you need to run these kinds of sessions? Of course you’ll need a fast and solid internet connection, as well as availability during business hours because that’s when higher paying clients typically like to record.

Have you ever engineered a clients session Live?

FYI, in the full PES program I spend half of an entire class teaching every single aspect of running these sessions, soundchecking guests (rarely easy), coordinating bookings, the best platforms to use (Riverside, Squadcast, etc.) and much more!
