SOUND BETTER LIVE
How to Sound Better on Stage
Live Sound Workshop for Artists
For solo artists and bands: a real sound check on stage, plus your tech rider, EPK and how to get the mix you need at every gig.
Overview
Great songs can still sound bad on stage. Most of the time it's not the venue — it's what you bring, what you ask for and how you ask for it. In this workshop you go through a real sound check on our stage, then we sit down and work on what nobody teaches you: what belongs in your tech rider and EPK, what to show up with so your sound is consistent at every gig, and how to communicate with the sound engineer so you get the mix you need — even when you don't share the same language.
