ABSTRACT
The designer will also be there to focus the speakers and make adjustments to the system. The system drawings and paperwork are a good jumping-off point, but it is very likely that speakers will need to be adjusted once you see them in the space. If there are any issues with sound equipment and lighting or scenic elements, the design team can communicate with the other design teams to come to a compromise. The sound design team also works behind the scenes with wardrobe and wigs to develop a mic plan for how the actors will be mic’ed. If you are lucky, all the women will be wearing wigs and the wig designer will allow you to put the mic packs in the wigs. This is very common on Broadway.
