My Role & Responsibilities on this Project:
My key responsibilities for this project:
As the on-duty Sound Technician, I worked with Senior Engineer Mr. Smith to diagnose the fault. He immediately escalated the issue and personally sourced and purchased a replacement driver. Together, arrived hours early post the show, we executed the repair, replacing the blown component and ensuring the entire audio system was fully operational before doors opened.
The Result
The show proceeded flawlessly for a full-capacity audience, maintaining the high standard of an Ovation Award-winning production and demonstrating effective crisis management under pressure.
