Volunteer Hours by the Numbers (Sophomore - Senior Year)
Volunteer Hours by the Numbers (Sophomore - Senior Year)
I have been keeping an active log of all of my volunteer and service hours that are dedicated to the arts and theatre specifically. Every year I assist in taking up and putting down the sound system, and sometimes the Techies are asked to do certain jobs in which I will also help. I also have accounted for tech weeks and time for all musical involvement outside of class time, as I am doing much more than just acting during those times.
Working in the Soundbooth - Mastering the Board
Working in the Soundbooth - Mastering the Board
Running sound and adjusting levels (in other words, watching other people perform), was something I hadn't expected to be so interested in at Foxcroft. However, coming to Foxcroft with prior knowledge of how to run a soundboard and mix vocals with instruments made me have the upper-hand when it came to being in the sound booth. The booth was some place I had been comfortable in the past summers before I came to Foxcroft, so it was a natural habitat for me to be in.
The soundbooth is a place for the patient, understanding, and detail-oriented. Some things that happen on stage wouldn't be possible without the help of the booth.
The document you see here is a FAQ/How-to on running sound and a quick startup guide for future tech members. As theatre becomes more advanced at Foxcroft, I thought it was only appropriate that I made this so more people who were interested in sound would have the chance to.
