• Extra Microphones
Encore and Standing Ovation packages ONLY
The base package (Bravo) includes just 1 microphone placed at the front center of your stage to record any unmiked parts of your performance. Adding extra microphones across the front of the stage provides extra audio sources that can enhance the overall sound recording of your show.
BENEFITS:
Captures unmiked dialogue spoken at the left and right sides of your stage, including on the ramps/wings
Captures a “bigger” sound during musical ensemble numbers
Creates a backup sound source at the stage, in case performers sit on, kick, or peak out the 1 center microphone
• Full Audio Balancing
Encore and Standing Ovation packages ONLY
No matter how good your show sounds LIVE, there will always be volume differences between the various audio sources in your show. Some actors speak and project louder than others - some are wearing a body mic, some are not - sometimes the orchestra or audience may drown out the performers’ vocals. That’s where Audio Balancing comes in. With this service, our editors spend up to 10 hours on your show - going line by line - leveling out each bit of audio to make all dialogue audible and your final video volume consistent and enjoyable throughout your entire show.
Benefits:
Dialogue dissected - with the volume boosted for quiet actors & lowered for the louder ones - to create a consistent volume level across the full show
Actor vocals balanced with your music, soundtrack, or orchestra so each is prominent when needed
Audience applause raised to emphasize cheers and laughter - or lowered to emphasize dialogue, when needed
• Corrective Editing - Audio
Standing Ovation package ONLY
According to famous director George Lucas: “Sound is half of the picture…” Well, here at SharpShooters, we’ve covered enough live shows to know that sound is MORE THAN HALF of the issues you’ll face when staging a Musical…. sorry to be the bearer of bad news! So here’s the GOOD NEWS - if your audio goes awry during your show, our editing experts have serious skills to help minimize the damage to your final video.
whenEver possible, We’ll fix:
Actor microphone pops and crackles
Unintentional sighs, huffs, or comments made into the actors’ body mics, including when their mics are accidentally left “ON” after they’ve left the stage
Missed lines that weren’t spoken or audible live
Music tracks mistakenly played at the wrong time
Live microphone or soundboard hum/buzz

whenEver possible, We’ll fix:
Awkward “dead air” anytime an actor misses their entrance
