  • Audio Engineer at Yorba Linda Spotlight Theater Company
    Aug 2023 - Aug 2023 · 1 mo

    This show took place in the El Dorado High School Theatre. We had 3 days of tech, and 4 days of shows. I was the A1 throughout this show. I mixed the show on a Yamaha CL5, with 18 wireless lavalier Shure microphones, and 2 wireless SM58 microphones. I used the DANTE system to patch the input sources, and scenes on the board to help assist in mixing the show. I also assisted in creating the Qlab files which included video and audio tracks. Throughout the show I had to follow the script and mix the microphones with the audio while communicating and helping resolve any audio related issues. I had to work effectively and quickly to resolve issues in order to be ready to open the show in a short period of time
