WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California\u00a0\u2013\u00a0September\u00a02020<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Continuing to\u00a0deepen\u00a0its commitment to education,\u00a0L-Acoustics\u00a0recently\u00a0announced\u00a0a partnership\u00a0with SoundGirls<\/a><\/strong>, kicking off\u00a0an annual\u00a0training grant program\u00a0to support\u00a0the organization\u2019s\u00a0mission\u00a0to\u00a0empower\u00a0women in audio.\u00a0Following\u00a0a\u00a0thorough\u00a0panel\u00a0review\u00a0of\u00a0numerous\u00a0applications submitted by SoundGirls members,\u00a0L-Acoustics\u00a0is pleased to\u00a0officially congratulate\u00a0the\u00a0three\u00a0recipients\u00a0of\u00a0its 2020\u00a0SoundGirls\u00a0Training\u00a0Grants:\u00a0Carolina Ant\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was\u00a0awarded the L-ISA Grant<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Kim\u00a0Watson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0Advanced Grant, and\u00a0Eluned\u00a0\u201cEl\u201d\u00a0Ashwood<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0Starter Grant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were overwhelmed by the interest and response that we received from the SoundGirls community regarding these training grants,\u201d says Etienne Corteel, L-Acoustics Director of Education and Scientific Outreach, making the announcement. \u201cIn addition to supplying their CVs, each candidate submitted two essays on why they were applying for these grants and how they would benefit from them. Although it was a challenge for the SoundGirls board to narrow down only three winners from such a well-qualified and deserving group, Carolina, Kim, and El all clearly demonstrated their drive and zeal for audio excellence and are, in our eyes, inspiring champions for diversity in this industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina Ant\u00f3n of Mexico City has been named as the L-ISA Grant recipient and will participate in a three-day L-ISA training curriculum covering one of two available tracks: System, for systems engineers, or Mixing, for mix engineers. Serving as an FOH and\/or monitor engineer on more than 20 tours for artists including Kool & The Gang, Gloria Gaynor<\/a><\/strong>, Natalia Lafourcade, MexFutura<\/a><\/strong>, Mon Laferte<\/a><\/strong>, and Leon Larregui<\/a>,<\/strong> Ant\u00f3n has passion and experience creating immersive live mixes and system designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a system tech, monitor engineer, and FOH engineer for two decades, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK-based Kim Watson is the recipient of the Advanced Grant and will complete the manufacturer\u2019s Level 2 Variable Curvature Line Source (VCLS) and Loudspeaker System Calibration (LSC) modules. Having toured as a monitor engineer for The Subways<\/a><\/strong> and system fly tech for Blondie<\/a><\/strong>, Watson previously completed four modules from the Level 1 course to prepare her for Level 2 training as she progresses toward earning the K Systems Engineer (KSE) designation, following additional fieldwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently completing the L-Acoustics Systems Fundamentals online session in July as part of her Starter Grant, Eluned Ashwood of Manchester, UK will soon finish up the Level 1 course and earn the official status of Systems Technician (ST) after attending her choice of two K Series<\/a><\/strong> modules (K1<\/a><\/strong>, K2<\/a><\/strong>, Kara<\/strong>, Kiva II<\/a><\/strong>). Ashwood\u2019s resum\u00e9 includes a broad range of festival tech gigs with SSE Audio Group<\/a><\/strong> and Wigwam Acoustics, numerous A2 roles at Manchester\u2019s Royal Exchange Theatre<\/a><\/strong>, and stage\/PA tech work for Lionel Richie<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s UK tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so excited to be working with L-Acoustics, recognized as one of the leaders in concert sound, to provide these grants to our members,\u201d shares SoundGirls Co-Founder Karrie Keyes. \u201cL-Acoustics is dedicated to innovation and design excellence and now a leader in helping to diversify the industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been our privilege to partner with the SoundGirls community by creating this annual grant program and taking an active step in helping fulfill their mission of educating and empowering women in audio,\u201d Corteel adds in closing. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of what each of our three new L-Acoustics family members has already accomplished so far, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements as they continue to make names for themselves in this wonderfully evolving business.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
