Joanna Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I had a major gig this past weekend, bigger set-up & longer, more complex sound-check than usual. Very live hall, and as composer & co-director I had lots of people & details to oversee. Once everything was setup, I didn't need to sing much, because the crew were great. But from mid-afternoon onward there was the normal amount of shouting between front & back of hall, a few problems with background hum & feedback, lots going on at once. By the time the program actually started, my throat felt slightly scratchy, & I realized I'd been talking over noise for those hours! I should know better & was taken by surprise...Performance went well anyhow, but I got a whole new appreciation of "don't use it all up in rehearsal." anyone else ever felt this challenge, especially when in a position of producing as well as singing?

Administrator Robert Lunte Posted September 29, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2009 Sure... request your friends and family to only ask closed ended questions before the show, so you only have to say "yes" or "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
