Presenter: In our series about careers in the arts, I’m talking today to Martin Holloway, who is a sound engineer. Martin, tell us how you spend your time.

Martin: Good morning, Jake. Well, each event I do is different, but I usually set up the equipment before the show, do the sound checks and look after the sound during the performance. Of course it’s not my fault if the band isn’t very good and what you hear is out of tune or something. People sometimes call me a disc jockey but I have to explain it’s so much more than that. This weekend, I’m working at a music festival and I mostly work out of doors. There’s lots of outdoor work if you want it, as we can also work on films and TV.

Answer = B
