Feeling overwhelmed in the post-production sound industry? You’re not alone. Navigating the world of post-production sound can be challenging. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, it’s common to feel isolated, uncertain, or stuck. The Mastering Post-Production Sound: Inner Circle is here to change that.
Â
Hi Friend, My name is Joel D. Catalan, I am an Emmy®-nominated sound re-recording mixer and supervising sound editor. I empower professionals like yourself to navigate, believe and thrive in the post-production sound industry.
As I look back at all the ups and downs the industry has thrown my way over the past 16 years, I keep imagining what my career would look like if I had someone who was there the whole time cheering me on, answering all the questions I had, and helping me through the tough times when I was overwhelmed with emotions, not knowing what steps to take next.
 I eventually discovered the need to reach out to others in this space and found tremendous support in doing life with other people. I discovered the power of community!Â
 I truly believe we were not created to do life alone! This industry is notoriously cut-throat and cold. At times, it can feel big and scary.Â
 So, I got to thinking—what if we had our own spot online? A place where we meet up each month, where I drop a new idea or concept, and most importantly, where I’m there for YOU. A space where you could bounce ideas off of others and find encouragement when things got tough in this industry? What if you could get your questions answered in a safe and encouraging space where there are no silly questions?
I know if that was around when I was first starting my journey, I would have jumped at the opportunity.
With so many people desiring a place they can call home with personalized attention, I needed a solution, and I needed to do something about it. So I did...
Â
My private monthly group coaching community has one goal in mind: to provide you with the guidance, support, and industry insights that I wish I had when I started.
Â
With the ongoing support from me, an encouraging community of fellow aspiring sound pros like you who are passionate and serious about growth, and relevant new training each and every month with the masterclasses, you will finally have the support system you need to confidently navigate this industry and accomplish your goals.
Navigating this journey alone is a lonely pursuit.
While there's no shortage of folks teaching the nuts and bolts of EQ and compression, finding someone to offer genuine encouragement and motivation—someone who's actually been in the heat of the mixing trenches—can be tough. That's the exact reason I decided to create this space.
In this community, we are family. Welcome home.
From the moment you join us, you'll feel a sense of belonging.Â
You'll meet like-minded, ambitious, sound professionals and, of course, have me as your group coach, guiding you through any problem, curiosites, or general question you have.
If you’ve tried coaching before but haven’t yet broken into the industry, grown, or advanced your career, this community will help you achieve those goals.
Sometimes even the simplest of questions can throw us off.
Questions like:Â
We all have these questions at one point or another!
What if you had a private, tight knit community of fellow sound- professionals you could ask?
That’s why The Mastering Post-Production Sound: Inner Circle exists.
Â
The Inner Circle online community is built like a Facebook or LinkedIn group, but without any annoying ads, distractions, or trolls!
Â
In this vibrant hub, we're not just talking shop; we're building connections every single day. And you'll find me right there, in the thick of it, always ready to answer your questions and offer a dose of encouragement.
But it's not just about me. It's about all of us together.
You'll be part of a broader circle of ingenious, supportive, and driven individuals, much like yourself. They're not just here to network; they're here to root for you, to help you reach your dreams and celebrate every milestone along your journey as you navigate the industry.
Â
Every month, I roll out a fresh video training, each meticulously crafted to propel your career in post-production sound and enrich your personal growth.
These masterclasses delve into a spectrum of topics, from strategic industry insights, to mastering the art of sound mixing, and even enhancing your portfolio.
Additionally, I'll occasionally bring in esteemed colleagues from the industry to share their expertise on specialized areas like sound editing techniques, industry networking, and more.
Picture these masterclasses as your personal collection of online courses. As a member of the Mastering Post-Production Sound: Inner Circle, you gain access to this ever-expanding library of knowledge, ready for you to explore at your convenience.
In short, the longer you're with us, the more valuable your membership becomes, enriching your professional journey with each passing month!
Â
I deeply believe in the transformative power of coaching. A coach is more than just a guide; they're someone who can unlock the potential you might not even see in yourself, steering you in the right direction when you feel lost or overwhelmed.
That's precisely why I've made it a priority to give you personal access to my expertise. Whether you have questions about the post-production sound industry, career development, work-life balance, or anything in-between, I'm here to help.
If you're eager to fast-track your growth in this industry, join me for a live Q&A coaching call each month. These sessions are your chance to get direct guidance from me, tailored to your unique questions and goals.
In our Inner Circle community, we're committed to in-depth, live coaching every month, ensuring you're consistently advancing in your career.
Worried about missing a live call due to a busy schedule or time zone differences? No problem at all.
Every session is recorded and uploaded to the members' area for you to access at any time. Plus, you can always send in your questions beforehand, ensuring no question goes unanswered. This way, you're always part of the conversation, no matter where you are or how hectic your schedule gets.

“When I started working with Joel, I struggled to make the right connections and lacked confidence. Joel encouraged me to network authentically and pushed me outside my comfort zone. Beyond the technical advice, Joel helped me navigate the mental fortitude required to succeed in such a competitive industry. Throughout our coaching, I always felt supported, and his feedback kept me on track."
-Ben R. (Sound Designer)
Â
“During my mentorship with Joel, he took a dedicated and genuine interest in my career. He helped me strategize my next steps and stand out for a studio role. Thanks to his advice, I secured a position at Margarita Mix in LA. Joel was an open book about the industry, always offering the fine details that allowed me to excel."
-Garret R. (Sound Editor/Re-Recording Mixer)
“Having Joel in your corner in the ever-changing world of post-production sound is invaluable. He helped me design a focused career strategy and offered guidance on everything from mixing techniques to networking strategies and personal wellness. Joel's dedication and passion make him an exceptional mentor for anyone looking to succeed in this industry."

 "Working with Joel the past 6 months has been the most impactful experience I've had toward my career in post audio. Joel custom-tailored my coaching experience, meeting me exactly where I was in my journey as a re-recording mixer in search of my big break. He’s like the optometrist of post-audio career goals—once I put on the glasses from his teachings, everything has become clearer and within reach."
-Gregory V. (Re-Recording Mixer)

Whether you're on a computer, tablet, or phone, as long as you're connected to the internet, the Inner Circle is at your fingertips. This means you can tap into our community and resources whenever inspiration strikes or whenever you need guidance – no matter where you are.
Absolutely! If you're feeling stuck or isolated in your journey through the post-production sound industry and are looking for coaching, training, and a community to help you break through that plateau, this is precisely what you need.
Accolades and high-profile projects are just one aspect of success. The real goal here is growth and improvement in your craft and career. The Mastering Post-Production Sound: Inner Circle is designed to help you do just that, no matter what your current objectives or aspirations are.
Definitely! As an Emmy-nominated sound re-recording mixer with 16 years of experience, I can assure you that advancing from being established to becoming a top-tier professional in our industry involves more than just technical knowledge.
It requires dedicated coaching, a supportive community, and a strong sense of accountability – all of which the Mastering Post-Production Sound: Inner Circle offers. This group is designed to provide the guidance and network you need to scale new heights in your career.
Not at all. In terms of content, there's just one live one-hour call each month, plus a masterclass training lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. That's the core commitment.
The community aspect is entirely up to you. You can engage with the group as much or as little as your schedule allows. However, it's worth noting that members who actively participate and connect with others in the group often find the most success and growth in their post-production sound careers.
Honestly, if you're still at the very beginning and haven't dabbled in sound work yet, this membership might be a bit advanced. You'll benefit more from first exploring the basics of sound production and getting some initial experience. I'd recommend starting with foundational courses or workshops in sound design or editing.
However, if you've got the basics down – perhaps you've dabbled in some sound projects or have a basic understanding of the industry but haven't yet made significant strides – then the Inner Circle will be immensely beneficial for you.
No, not at all. Our entire community – along with all the content – is hosted on a private membership platform. You can access it from any computer, tablet, or mobile device. Nothing is tied to Facebook, so you won't need an account there to be part of our community.
Yes and no. Enrollment for the Inner Circle is limited, and we open our doors only a few times a year. If you're seeing this, it means enrollment is currently open, but there's no guarantee of future availability. It's best to seize the opportunity while you can!
