‘W e put a different word or theme on it every show,’ says McKibbin, ‘so cast members who come at beginners to check their radio mic is working have to sing a song containing the word or theme.’ This is a surprisingly complex process.’ When the actors are getting their mics checked before a show starts, the crew mix things up with a ‘word of the day’ or theme for their sound check. ‘Firstly the back-of-house (BOH) sound operator puts the radio microphones on actors so they are hidden in their hair. ‘We use little radio microphones on the actors and control their volumes on the mixing desk and then send it to loudspeakers,’ explains McKibbin. The radio mic rack backstage at Southbank Theatre. ‘During the performance, mixing the actors’ voices on the sound desk takes concentration and dexterity as the controls are turned on and off for each line of dialogue in the play.’ – Terry McKibbin, Sound Supervisor Conversely, most sound effects and music are intended to be noticed!’ Those sound effects and music are controlled by the stage manager from the prompt corner using a computer program called Qlab.
