Oh I had thought mics a more recent thing but actually just visible mics on actors rather than fixed else where. Interesting.

Yes, I was talking about non-musicals, I guess in musicals the actors are always individually miked ? I think during the Nunn era Simon Russell-Beale was one of those who objected to radio mikes. |

I thought everyone used to just project a lot, I was very impressed in such a space that it didn't come across as shouty, foolish me. Have been at performances and I think at nt when they must have used mics on clothing rather than in hair and you'd get that horrible noise if one character embraced another and squashed the Mic.

In one thing I saw directed by Hytner someone knocked into part of the set by mistake and there was a big booming sound, obviously they had unluckily hit one of the microphones. Even an old-style actor like Michael Bryant used to say he struggled to project to the back of the Olivier as the concrete was unforgiving, hence the amplification right from the start. |
