Beat Herder Festival: Crew Team member at the Laundrette Stage
​
Volunteer Sound Team/Audio Technician
During these fun couple days at the manic Beat Herder Festival, I was setting up and patching microphones during 15 minute turnovers between bands and artists.​
I had to be clear with communicating using walkie talkies and hand gestures. And it was also a struggle trying to mic up larger bands with the very limited number of cables and microphones that the studio brought with them.
I got this volunteer opportunity through Young Thugs Studio which I worked at over my gap year.

Shadowing at the Attic Leeds
On this day, I shadowed the sound engineer at the Attic in Leeds, where he showed me the process of setting up, soundchecking and capturing three separate acoustic artists. He also described the importance of the space, and how to work around/with the acoustics.
