J.J. Hillman

Since 2012 I’ve integrated touring productions into the theaters at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, supervised local audio crews, mixed in-house shows and events, and designed, installed, and maintained the audio and comms systems. I also work as an I.A.T.S.E. audio operator for the various productions at The Sphere.

My earlier work includes Head of Audio for the 1st national tour of In the Heights and for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson on Broadway, plus Assistant Audio positions on tours of Les Misérables, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Avenue Q, and Disney on Ice. I also had the opportunity to work for Holland America Line as an audio technician and project manager.

Things I’m building

Vibe coding useful software tools has become a recent hobby of mine. MemoryMap is a free website that creates animated maps from location data. PlayerTracer is an app for highlighting an athlete in a video clip. ClubPod is an app I’m currently building for cleaning up podcast audio: separating speakers, fixing the mix, and getting the loudness right.

Teaching & Community

I’ve taught audio production, recording history, and multitrack workshops at local schools, and been the technical director for my children's school musicals. I serve on the board of Gunpowder Productions, a nonprofit theater company that creates social-impact theater and expands access to arts education, especially for underserved youth and communities.
