Wanted: Sound Designer
After much thought, I've decided to enlist a sound designer to oversee the numerous audio goings-on for the show. This is a challenging position and does *NOT* pay, but it will be a lot of fun! ("lot of fun" meaning "thankless and nightmarish" ...)
There are four types of sound 'events' in the show:
1. Rick the Talent
2. Off-stage actors
3. Live band
4. Pre-recorded sound effects
The band WILL be patched into the house PA (which is news to them I'm sure, heh) and will also have to be split and run into the mobile recording gear (run by the mighty Uncle Steve) which is, I believe, a hearty laptop running Pro Tools.
There are countless singers and off-stage actors which will require mics and levels and all that good stuff.
Here is a description of duties for this lucky guy or gal:
* Manage/coordinate/wrangle all the gear and microphones (both provided by theater and supplied by others)
* Liaise with Music Director Chris on all aspects of sound related to the band
* Liaise with Uncle Steve the Mobile Audio Recording Wizard on all aspects of audio including band, pre-recorded sound, and on-stage and off-stage talent
* Liaise with the theater's house sound dude (he will be running the board)
* Liaise with Ken the Post-Production Sound God (who will have final approval on all mixes and levels)
* Mic the band, mic the talent, mic the singers
* Create excellent drum sub-mix (mucho importante!!)
* Lots of other stuff I haven't even thought of yet
Requirements:
* An excellent ear for an excellent mix
* Great attitude and enthusiasm!
* Intimate knowledge of classic rock and metal
* Technical know-how to set up all this stuff
* Availability to attend a handful of meetings and rehearsals in May/June, and of course total availability for tech day and show night in June (exact dates TBA)
* And, as always, utter devotion to me and the show (and Music Director Chris)
If this sounds like you, then please email me and let me know of your experience and availability, and we'll have a chat.
Thanks, y'all!! \m/
