Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Calling attention

Those are all really good ideas and I’ll consider them. The director does the ‘clap if you can hear me’ thing sometimes, so I might do that in regular rehearsals, but not like 70 times a day for auditions which is my main concern at the moment. I like the idea of using a mic for auditions, though. Last time I just went to the middle of the room or where most people were congregated and called out, “Who’s Jeremy?” or whatever the next name on my list was. Most of the time it worked but I feel like I could do something better, especially since there’ll be more people this time. As of now, I’ll see about the mic for audition and callback days.
I’ll probably have 2 or 3 assistants like I had last time, and last time we just spoke loudly to get their attention, but I kinda wanted to try something different since they really don’t like listening, to anyone.
They also seem to have problems getting up for warm-ups when it’s time. Whoever said something about saying what time it was gave me an idea. I think I’ll get an alarm set for 4 o’ clock so that when it goes off I’ll try saying something like, “Hey, Alley Cats, guess what time it is?” and even without me saying that they should know that the alarm means warm-ups.
