I've been asked to teach a 4 day intensive covering Sound/Audio in the theatre plus 1 day of practicals at the Georgia Gov'r's Honors Program. Saying 4 days is misleading. It breaks down to 4 one hour sessions with the entire tehatre dept (~40 students) and then 4 three hour sessions with just the 4 Technical Theatre students.
What do you wish you were taught or your students learned in an advanced high school setting? (I'm looking at you @Footer )
Topics I am considering:
For All: Physics of Sound (waves, amplitude, frequency); different type of mics to use with the human voice (headset/hairline/lavaliers/handhelds - omni's & directionals), placement, and their different strength/weaknesses; necessity to project (can't ampliofy what's not there) ... What Else? Keep in mind this is only a total of 4 hours.
For the Tech. Theatre Students:
-Basics of a signal path from mic to loudspeakers; Things we do to alter that signal path such as: Gain structure, routing, intro to EQ, Intro to Fx; setting up a small event such as a speaker or small panel, setting up for a small band ... What Else? this is 4 3-hour sessions.
Who has material they would be willing to share?
Thanks for the input.
