Hi My names Mike from america lol and i have been a techie for 2 years now.
I am an senior in high school. My favorite board is the sound board but am fluent with both boards since i have asperations on becoming a Technical Director. I love the field its therapy i walk into a theater and feel so relaxed in fact i spent my lunch today just cleaning the shop which is still a reck theres so much lol.

Hi and welcome to the booth!! Ignore the crazy people asking their random questions that should be coming along soon.

Hi Mike! Welcome to the booth. Ask a lot, answer a lot. Before starting a new thread asking a question, use the "search" function to see if it's been asked before. Tell us more about what you've done in the past, and what you'd like to do in the future. Are you planning to attend college next year? If so, which one?

I'm also the board's resident Grammarian/nit-picker. I DO hope you'll get your keyboard's <apostrophe>, <shift>, and <comma> keys repaired soon--they don't seem to be working properly. Also, there's a collaborative article titled "Spelling" here, but it doesn't include such words as "asperations" and "reck."

Van is our resident professional TD, maybe he'll give you some career pointers if you ask nicely.

But being a TD is about communication. Gotta be able to commune clearly.

Welcome aboard. We hope you stay!

Hey Mike, Welcome to the Booth. The punctuation police will be leaving the room soon. We don't mean to beat you up in your welcome thread, but they are right that if you want to be a T.D. clear communication is critical (So building your vocabulary, working on your spelling and punctuation are all important). On the other hand, let me encourage you by telling you I have a reading disorder that makes spelling and reading very difficult for me. I also have a masters degree and teaching certification. Trust me, you can do anything you set your mind to.

Welcome, use the search function there are vast quantities of information in the archives waiting for you. And many experts near by to answer your questions if you get stuck.

welcome to the booth, as all the others said ask questions like why we habe a passion for cooking small animals like pengins and wombats
and everyone has a specialty so im sure you find yourself answering questions that others pose, or just spend your life welcoming members like i seem to be doing currently

See Mike, they say American schools are behind but apparently the Australians need to learn to spell too.

Wow, I am glad that as a Technical Director hard skin is a must. Because I have never been so berated in a welcome. I apologize for my spelling and grammer, I realize it is bad. Though I was very excited to have finaly found a place were people share my aspirations, I now feel like I am very unwelcome, and a baby among titans.
