One musical I was the sound board operator and I was in charge of mic-ing actors ( all 25) by myself. I hid their mic packs inside of their costumes because their isnt money in the budget for fancy mic packs and the actors costumes were their own clothing (sewing hidden pockets in the costumes is out). By intermission I found that 2 mics were damaged from the actors sweating a lot and had to replace them.
How do I prevent mic damage from the actors sweating? I thought of placing the packs inside a little baggy but it was too difficult to clip the packs onto the actors as they kept falling off and was very difficult to access the packs quickly during intermission.
How do I tend to sweaty mic wires after performances to prevent damage?
