MEMBERSHIP

There are many benefits to being a member of AMPS, including invites to Events and Socials, Training, Networking and online discounts. Our membership includes roles for engineers, mixers, editors and designers within the sound for Film, TV & Game industry. If you work as one of these, or a closely related profession, you are eligible. Depending on your years of experience, you’ll automatically be allocated a Membership Category after applying.

Information about our Membership Categories can be found here: amps.net/membership-categories

1. SPONSORS
Sponsors are existing Full AMPS members who know you professionally and are willing to recommend you as a member. Check the Directory to find people who fit those criteria.

You will need TWO Full Member Sponsors if applying for Full or Associate Membership. No sponsors are required for Foundation Membership. Please ensure that your sponsors are FULL members of AMPS, as only Full members can sponsor Membership Applications. Your Sponsors will be required to submit a COMPREHENSIVE written letter of recommendation on behalf of yourself for consideration by Council and must be attached to your application. The letter of recommendation has to meet the following criteria:

  • The letter MUST be written by the sponsor themselves and using their own words. The applicant can NOT just pre-write a text for the sponsor to sign.
     
  • The letter must be more than just a few words saying they are happy to sponsor you. A comprehensive letter of recommendation to include as minimum the following information:

    • Has the sponsor been approached by you ahead of submitting this application and do they agree to vouch for you?
    • Do they know you personally and have they worked with you? If so, can they share any thoughts and comments regarding their work with you and highlight any qualities and attributes that would make you a good addition to AMPS.
    • Any further comments or insights from the sponsor that they may want to add regarding your application will be appreciated too.

If you are unable to secure the number of Full Member sponsors stipulated in the above categories, Council may accept you as a Foundation member, until such time as you are able to provide suitable sponsors. Council will consider the application on an individual basis, and its decision shall be final.

2. CV
Please upload your CV or a short Personal Profile giving past experience and production credits if any. It is very important that any work or credits listed in the CV include title, production company, your role on the project and most importantly the year the production was made and the duration of your involvement with it. Failure to include all of the following information will result in the application being rejected and having to re-apply. If your application is successful your CV will be uploaded to your profile and will be visible to AMPS members in the AMPS Directory. Please consider this when including personal information such as your home address.

3. PICTURE
Please upload a recent photo of yourself. If your application is successful we will upload this to your profile and it will be visible to AMPS members in the AMPS Directory. Please note that this is optional; you can add a photo to your profile at a later date.
