~ Remarks~

This production truly was a very fun but delightful challenge! On the Production Audio side, working with the Sound Designer to brainstorm the best way to make an on-stage radio special work. This collaboration with props combined with the Sound Designer's desire to use a Bellfrog Exciter, meant a world of fun revolving around the discreet installation of this speaker. In conjunction to working with an entirely analog system, figuring out the initial routing was a challenge. It turned out to be an exciting puzzle to figure out. Alongside that was my duty as the Assistant Sound Designer. Because my Sound Designer was in meetings for other shows, I got to stand in at meetings and pass along information, in addition to ask for more notes time, etc. This was coupled with taking lots of notes throughout the tech process and overall supporting my sound designer.
