SOUND: Sound Manipulation
« on: May 15, 2005, 11:33 pm »
Hey all -

I'm looking for a cheap and effective way for actors to manipulate the sounds of their voices onstage.   I have a rectangular stage space and I'd like to be able to place something around the stage in different locations to give the actors the abilty to enhance/change vocal projections.  My director and I can't seem to come up with anything that works.....any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you trying to change the sound quality of their voices, or change the location from which the sound emanates?  What is the desired effect?
Do it right the first time;  do it right every time.

same qqs -

if you are talking distortion, there are those wierd Hallowe'en skull mics that alter the voice with compression and overtones and the like - but those tie to corded mics

And you can simply feed something thru a speaker with a difference balance or type of effect -

but the main qq is, what exactly are you looking to do?
