Certainly one of the most complex areas of theatre design and one of the hardest jobs is that of the sound designer. The sound designer must be familiar with all kinds of technical aspects of sound. Part electrician, engineer, acoustics professional, artist and having to have an extraordinarily sensitive ear, obviously not everyone can learn to be a sound designer. Even a student just running the sound for a show, has to have a good sense of timing and a good ear. This is especially true if the show is a musical because the operator will have to balance between the voices and the music of the orchestra, trio or band. Most teachers do not necessarily have these specialized skills, and that is why an outside professional sound designer is often hired for a school production. Sometimes however, the teacher is lucky and there will be a student who is quite knowledgeable and talented in this area. When that is the case, it is certainly wonderful to be able to trust this student and give the student the ability to create the sound design. Even in this situation though, it is important for the teacher to insist on safety practices for the physical well being of the students. Keeping safety procedures foremost in mind, the sound designer should make certain that —
