Sound for theatres and schools
Sound for theatre is a specialised area where experience really counts. Orange Dog Audio have been supplying sound services to theatre for over ten years, and every venue and production has brought new challenges. The choice of microphones is crucial, not only so that the performers can be heard, but also so that the technology does not get in the way of the performance itself. Boundary (floor) microphones, miniature hanging microphones, shotgun (long range) microphones and wireless systems -- they all have their place. Orange Dog Audio can design the right microphone setup for your show and will make sure that it's as visually unobtrusive as possible.
Sound for school performances is especially challenging. Children tend not to project their voices very well, so appropriate microphone type and placement is vital. And limited rehearsal time means that the sound operator has to get up to speed quickly and stay out of the way. We take the time to familiarise ourselves with your script in advance (where provided) and cue audio tracks and FX for you if required. We can even create custom sound effects and soundscapes if required, working to your brief.
Orange Dog Audio only carries a limited stock of wireless equipment suitable for theatre, but we can easily hire in multiple systems (up to 24 channels) if required.
We are also happy to provide references from satisfied school customers if required -- just contact us.
