We continue our tour backstage at the San Francisco touring production of Hamilton with a visit to the audio room, where assistant audio engineer Adrianna Brannon gives Adam an overview of what it takes to build, maintain, and manage the dozens of microphones used in the show. Adam also gets to check out King George's crown! Thanks to the team at Hamilton SF for being so welcoming during our visit!

@@ungartothemax20166 I doubt it. You really want the transmitter to be as compact as possible. I think a 3D printed component would add bulk as well as another thing to get broken and it also makes it more difficult to get to the connection. As someone who has been given that call to check these things many times the first thing we do is to make sure the connector hasn't come loose.

The way he's able to see and appreciate the smallest of details in a job that, to me, would come across as tedious is just a magnificent character trait. But to then be able to express that to other people in a way that's exciting and able to break down those misconceptions is, quite frankly, inhuman.

@marymiller752 4 года назад

See, I always love seeing mic placements on actors in stage shows. Especially in person, because that means that I'm lucky enough to be close to the stage. I find it so interesting to see the placement of mics and try to logic my way to reasons of the placement. I also really enjoy seeing the details that can only be seen up close, because they always add to the story for me. Like when I saw the Bandstand musical tour, I was actually able to see the band's dog tags and the fake seams from the stocking that the girls wear. PLEASE DO MORE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR STAGE SHOWS!!!!

@JustAnotherBuckyLover 4 года назад

Agreed - I legit didn't realise that people were so funny about spotting a mic, for goodness sake. I'd love to see most of them try to fill a theatre without amplification just once let alone eight times a week, without permanently wrecking their throats.

@CarloRufinoSabusap 4 года назад

Typically if it's on the forehead it's because it's to allow the actor to use all of their face in the show and to prevent sound issues. For example, hugging someone or kissing someone doesn't get clouded with the sound of ruffling clothes. Forehead placement also allows for optimal sound mixing because the microphone stays stationary on the forehead - it doesn't move distance from the mouth. There's no muscles in your forehead that move the microphone around alot. If placed on the cheek or side of the head, body movement or even just talking causes the head of the microphone to move around, causing small but influential changes in sound level. When on the forehead, the sweat also moves downward on the face away from the microphones aperture. On the cheek or side of the head, sweat can slide down the face and right into the aperture. Imagine for example, you took a cup outside in the rain and held it facing down. There's a very small chance that some water will land on the inside of the cup. Now hold the cup horizontally and water galore will be inside the cup.

My first exposure to fly tying was in the highlands of Scotland, to visit a woman name Morag, in a small coastal fishing village, Helmsdale. She was packing up an order for a man in Japan. She had individual customers all over the world, out of this small place. My uncle was the area's gamekeeper so I was taken to see all kinds of great outdoors related activities. His father before him held the same position of gamekeeper. That was 1964 and I was only ten years old. It was very memorable for a city kid from Canada, as you can tell :)

For anyone looking for the whip finish tool, it comes in the Orvis Encounter Fly Super Slim Tool Kit. She is also using the scissors for that kit(they are attached to her lanyard). Additionally, the super thin monofilament she is using is fly fishing leader, based off the limited view of the packaging I would venture to guess is also from Orvis.

Ohh, this was a delight! The cameo with the actor at the end was cute too. I'm always astounded by how many tools people use for 'handmade' items - it makes me feel a little better about my own skill level when I realize even the pros aren't using their own fingernails to tie knots and stuff!

I just finished making a whip-finisher from a clothes hangar, an empty ball point pen body, and a coupla beads. It works fantastically! I cannot wait to start miking actors again! I love my Hellerman, and that's not going anywhere, but I now have a new technique and a new tool thanks to Adrianna Brannon!
