Microphone Tracking
When working with more actors than wireless microphones it is essential to make sure that each solo line is mic'd at the least. Microphone tracking allows all members of the Audio Crew and Stage Management to determine who swaps mics and when.
Overview
Ensure that all actors with a solo line are amplified at the time the line is delivered
Pre-production communication with Stage Management
Coordinate with actors and the A2 when and how swaps occur
