The “Over-Under” Technique is a special method that theatre technicians use to coil and store cables! It consists of alternating between overhand and underhand loops! Check out this video by Audio University for an in-depth tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbxMyytWw60

Using the “Over-Under” Technique allows technicians to unravel the cables quickly, and if done correctly, without being tangled!

For most theatrical performances, actors are mic’d! This ensures the audience hears their dialogue and follows the story! The John Legend Theater owns 32 body mics, each consisting of two main components: the body pack and the element.

The body pack is the main, most expensive part of the mic. It is connected to the element, or the cord that is taped to the actor's face. At the Legend, we typically train our technicians to tape the element to the actor's cheek, but it can also be run through wigs or adhered to costumes.

These microphones are checked and controlled by sound designers or soundboard operators who have full control over the sound.
