ACTORS

To mixers, a good actor is a loud actor. Whenever we get together to discuss our jobs we always talk about how good of a voice an actor has. Actors who have done a lot of stage work tend to have learned the art of projecting their voice.

1. Don't refuse to wear a wireless mic when it is necessary.

2. Don't ask a boom operator to get out of their eye line. (Acting has been done with the boom for decades. This is a dangerous precedent we have recently started seeing.)

3. Warn the sound department when you will do a much louder or quieter take than was rehearsed.

4. Please project louder when asked. We only ask when we really need it.
