What emerged over the two days, he said, was an incredible appetite for learning. Hopefully these people have seen us as being helpful, as we want them to come back and work with us in the future, as clients. We want people to be empowered by this session and then go out and feel it for themselves.
Set up to familiarise attendees with all the disciplines of sound production, the opening day presented a Theatre Sound overview incorporating Digital Desks, Show Control, Radio Mics, Networking and other miscellaneous matters, while Day Two shifted the attention to Comms, Video ad Cue Lights, finishing with a large Q/A with the Orbital grandees.
And there was certainly plenty of gravitas and experience among the presenters, including Jersey Boys FOH engineer, Richard George, who spoke about digital desks.
Other Orbital Sound presenters included Richard Carter, Ellie Scott, Nihal Badik and Bill Addison with Chris Headlam, Eric Simpson, Gareth Owen and Chris Mace fielding the questions at the end.
Sound Skills for Theatre will be followed next year by a five-day course, titled Sound Fundamentals for Theatre.
