Elisa Binger has spent a decade in live audio, with a majority of her foundational years at the legendary Black Cat venue in Washington DC and she has seen a wide variety of productions. There have been acts that have had their first chance on stage and arena-sized productions that have come through during her time. Now, she brings the unique perspective of a house engineer to her recent touring opportunities. Her time on tour has also helped her become a better house engineer and production manager for those coming through her home venue.

Nancy Scharlau-Murman is a graduate of the Music Production and Engineering Program at Berklee College of Music, in Boston. After school, she moved to San Francisco and landed an assistant engineer position at Different Fur Recording. At the time, the San Francisco music scene was on fire with many bands interested in doing a live recording. Nancy and a fellow Berklee graduate jumped on the opportunity and launched Joey Mobile Recording. Their vision was to offer an affordable alternative for artists and bands to record wherever: at home, rehearsal space, beach front cottage or in an incredible venue like the Great America Music Hall.  After moving to Phoenix, Nancy started teaching audio recording at CRAS. Her extensive session background, equipment expertise and enthusiasm to expand her skill set proved to be a great fit. Over time she was asked to teach more classes and has been a veteran instructor there for over 25 years. She formed a women’s group, CRAS Women of Audio (WOA). The group welcomes all CRAS students and focuses on being a support system by hosting grad events, seminars and pertinent subject discussions.    Hosted by: Katie Maifeld and Brianna Cofield Executive Producers: Karrie Keyes, Beckie Campbell, and Susan Kost Edited by: Miesha Burley Music by: Jess Fenton (https://www.jessfenton.com/) Admin by: Kanika Khanna The SoundGirls Podcast is presented by soundgirls.org
