Hey, I’m Lauren Banjo!
I’ve been fascinated with audio all my life — from my first piano lesson at the age of six, to operating the PA and recording demos for my dumb little punk bands in high school, to graduating with a Bachelors of Music in Music Technology at New York University, to launching my career in the audio world.
I’m available for work in New York City + surrounding areas and beyond! I would love to work with you on your next project! In hiring me, you will get an upbeat, respectful, and professional audio engineer who cares deeply about her work and is fun to have on set. Contact me for a quote!
Testimonials
David DeLizza
I hired lauren as my assistant for a livestream job that also required sound reinforcement. She showed up on time, quickly had a handle on the job, and was incredibly helpful and cool to be around. I’ve also recommended her on a narrative gig and I only heard good things from the people I referred her to. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat and I recommend you do the same!

Lauren is not a mere technician, she is much more than that, she’s someone with a burning passion for sound mixing. Her love for what she does is unparalleled, this allows Lauren to approach her job creatively with youth-like enthusiasm. Most importantly, Lauren’s attitude is something uncommon on film sets. Her positivity lights up the mood and helps the crew get through the day. There’s no greater gift than someone who’s able to bring laughter and smiles to a production.

Lauren was a tremendous help on two of my previous projects. She was super friendly, carried herself very professionally, and worked diligently to ensure that our production sound sounded exceptional. Lauren would be my first recommendation for anyone in need of great production sound.

Lauren kept her head while I was losing mine. Best sound warrior companion in a pinch.
