SOUND DESIGN:

bullet

Whether you are an amateur or professional, you will want your production to have the best sound you can afford. I realise this, and I will strive to produce high quality sound within your budget. 

bullet

PLANNING:

bulletThis involves us getting involved at the earliest possible moment, discussing with the director, producer and MD what their ideas are, visiting the venues and liaising with the local technicians, coming to rehearsals, creating Radio Mic plots and organising the sound effects.
bullet

Rehearsals:

bulletFrom the start of the get-in, my crew will set-up the sound equipment and tune the system and check that all seats in the house are covered. The band and cast will be sound checked (I always have a session with the cast to inform them of Radio Mic do's and don'ts) ready for the Technical. Sound Effects will be finally plotted in the technical, and any notes acted on by the time of the dress. The final sound 'Mix' will be rehearsed in the dress, and notes taken for the first night.
bullet

Running the Show:

bulletDuring the run of the show, I will liaise with the director, MD and producer and make changes as necessary. At the end of the final performance, we will de-rig and pack the equipment away. I also try to have a 'debrief' session after the show so that I can improve our service for the next show.

bullet

SOUND FX:

bulletThis is a series produced for Theatre which puts the entire sound FX plot of a single show on a CD or Mini-Disk. As well as the sound effects in cue order, I also provide on most of the disks extra background sounds for you to use as necessary. Where I have created effects using several sounds.  The idea is that you can use the disks as they come.  As time goes on, I shall be adding to the list, and welcome your suggestions as to further titles. I have often produced disks for specific companies, charging them only the usual fee as I can them add them to my list.
