It seems that every time I help a project out with production audio, it does not go well. Usually because the locations are very non-ideal. Too much reverb, echo, or too much noise, etc. And the thing is, is that everytime I agree to a project, the director never really takes me to the location beforehand, or does he rehearse any of the acting or blocking with me. I never get invites to rehearsal dates, and am always called to show up on the shoot day, not knowing what the place is.
This has happened with four projects now. I want to do this to gain experience, but it always looks bad on me. I am not blaming them since I am just learning and do not know better than them. But as a learner, how do I get on sets and gain experience without failing them? I guess I can't but I feel it's risky when trying to get out there and get known and make connections with actors, crew, etc.
