Contribute to The Girls Guide to Doing Sound

We are putting together The Girls Guide to Doing Sound, for our summer camp program. We are taking submissions to be included in the guide of tips for mixing live sound. We are looking for the unusual tips, that you only learn as you experience them. Everyone that contributes their tips will be entered into a contest to win some cool prizes. We are looking for fun tips like:

When mixing Mariachi Bands, watch out – They probably will not sound check in their costumes or with their sombreros.  Note: Sombreros will aggravate feedback problems during the show. This applies to hats with brims, glasses, teeth, etc.

Equipment typically does not like liquid poured into them and can cease to work properly.

Vocal Sound – deteriorates during the show – Swap out the vocal mic. It may be filled with sweat and spit.

For each tip you contribute you will be entered into the contest. Tips can include survival techniques as well. Contest deadline is May 31, 2015. Send your tips to soundgirls.org@gmail.com
