sound engineering for live events

In August 2022 I joined the Underbelly Team for Edinburgh Fringe — the largest arts festival in the world. Throughout the festival I worked as a General / Sound Tech at a number of venues in Bristo Square and Circus Hub. I assisted during site build of Circus Hub’s Beauty Tent: setting up the PA, rigging lights, and preparing the space for the festival run.

Spending the mornings at McEwan Hall and Cowbarn as a Sound Op on children’s shows such as Bee Story and Magical Beasts, I then joined the team at the Beauty in the afternoons — assisting in quick turnarounds / stage and sound setups between shows such as Rebel and La Clique.

In November 2022 I had the pleasure of working as a Sound Op with the talented team of La Clique in Leicester Square in London. Working with Midas PRO1 and QLab 4, my responsibilities included:

— creating and operating complex cue sessions that evolved daily together with the show over the course of the month

— editing cues and creating additional sound design for intros between performances

— mixing live vocal performances
