Hi, I have played in rock bands for too long to think about and am pretty cool about how to work our PA for live performances and recording. In recent years I have got involved with a local theatrical group also which does plays and musicals. Any kind soul know how can we do sound re-enforcement for these situations? If we have individuals singing we get them to step up to a vocal mike, SM57/8s or similar which is fine, or use a belt clip radio mike.
But what mikes should we use to pick up the general talking, acting and singing on stage? The backing band are off stage in a pit so we rarely need to beef them up. I have thought about a couple of condensors at the front of the stage or perhaps suspended above the stage. Anyone got any advice on this, would be very welcome? Alternative suggestions gratefully accepted!
Monitoring for the cast is also an issue but I don't really want to go there!
