Here's the setting - a cast of 20 singing, mostly Ensemble who don't have headset wireless mics (we only have a few). However 6 or 7 are also character actors with dialogue fitted with headset mics. We have excellent choral mics above the stage. So here's my question; During a whole cast singing number should we turn OFF the character actors personal mics and let them mix with the rest of the un-mic'd ensemble or turn them on and have give their voices sort of an unfair advantage? I'm assuming that when one of the mic's guys has to sing ahead of the ensemble then we do turn on their mic. But otherwise, on or off?
