Group One Limited, a provider of broadcast production services, recently featured an interview with Angela Gomez, a sound supervisor for Amazon Prime at Wimbledon. Gomez shared insights into her career path and the intricacies of delivering high-quality audio for major sporting events.
With over 14 years in broadcast communications and audio engineering, Gomez’s experience spans prestigious events such as the UEFA Champions League and Wimbledon. She initially moved into broadcast from theatre sound engineering, receiving encouragement from a network of women in the field.
According to Gomez, the Wimbledon sound team prioritizes uniformity across all courts. Remote production workflows necessitate detailed verification processes and transparent communication. She also emphasized the need for increased representation of women in entry-level sound assistant positions to facilitate career advancement.
Modern sports audio coverage is shifting toward internet protocol (IP) technology and immersive audio formats, Gomez noted. She also highlighted the benefits of Calrec consoles, including features like automatic mix minus and Hydra2 networking, alongside their snapshot recall functionality for rapid setup adjustments. Gomez believes a successful sports audio mix should feel completely natural and unnoticeable.
