"The internship program at Dark Horse Recording is no ordinary internship, it's a hands on learning experience that can give you whatever you want to get out of it. Not only will you have the opportunity to get into the studios and actually learn the gear and assist on real sessions, but you'll meet great engineers and industry leaders that will help shape your career."

Matt Portwood

"When I got out of school, I needed an internship program that would get me the experience and contacts for me to grow and be successful as a recording engineer. Finding studios like that is increasingly hard these days. At Dark Horse, I spent a lot of time in the studios, instead of living behind a desk with a phone glued to my ear and a mop in my hand. Eventually, the contacts and experience I got at Dark Horse led to success on my own."

Jerry Guidroz

"I can trace all of my clients either back to Dark Horse, or someone I met there . . . I always tell people who ask, to go check out Dark Horse. I got a great start to my career, and met some good people. You WON'T get anywhere if your not willing to work hard while you're there...Being in sessions helped me to pick up on the things they didn't teach me at school. School will teach you so much, but they don't teach a class on How Nashville works."

"Dark Horse provided me with actual hands on experience! Some studios won't let you even touch a piece of gear for months on end. At Dark Horse, you put in hard work and you get rewarded with hands-on time from the beginning. I felt like that gave me a great opportunity for advancement."
