This page will help you to find the right sound equipment and lighting systems. I am a performer and I’ve been thinking about what kind of gear I needed since long before I took it up seriously. After spending some time researching, I decided that the best way to get everything I needed was to do it myself.
I wanted to know how to make the perfect stage with lighting and sound for my performance but didn’t know where to start. So here’s a simple guide for you: It’s simple! All you need is a stage, some lights, a microphone, speakers and a power supply. You’ll also need some cables, connectors and stands for your equipment.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur or professional musician; this is a great way to get started in the world of music performance.
I don’t know why, but I always imagined that the “technical” side of stage performance was just a boring job that had to be done by someone. I never thought it was something that could be fun, or exciting.
I assumed that most of the people doing those jobs were just there to pay their bills and maybe once in a while they’d get to go see a show they were working on. I never really gave it much thought. I’ve seen lots of plays and concerts over the years, but I didn’t think about what went into them until now.
I’m a stagehand for a local theater group, and we’re doing a play called “The Crucible”. The technical side is where all the equipment goes. We’ve got lights, sound, costumes, sets, props… it’s all there in front of me as I write this!
The first thing we did was set up the lighting rig. It took us about an hour and a half just to hang all the lights from their cables at different heights above where actors would stand during the show… then another two hours after that putting on gel colors which are layers of colored plastic that get put over each lamp so when they shine through they create different shades and hues depending on which
The stage is your canvas and the lighting rig is your paintbrush. There is no better way to create the perfect atmosphere and mood for any performance than with lighting.
Most people who have ever been to a show or concert have experienced some kind of lighting. Whether it’s a few lights that change color, moving heads, or even full blown up laser light shows, it all starts with some form of basic knowledge about stage lighting.
Many beginners think that stage lighting is easy and only involves turning on lights, or simply knowing how to use a moving head, but there’s actually so much more to it than that. We are going to go through the basics of stage lighting here today, so buckle up and get ready for some knowledge bombs!
The entertainment industry is a very tough business. Not only do you have to be a master of your craft, but you also have to be able to market yourself.
As a performer, I find that the most difficult part of my job is figuring out the best way to get people to stop and watch me. Street performing is not like being on stage in an auditorium or concert hall where the venue does all of the marketing for you. When you perform on the street, it is up to you to get people’s attention and get them to stop and watch your show. It can be hard work getting an audience when you are competing with so many other things for their attention.
I have been performing professionally as a comedian, juggler and magician for over 20 years now and I have picked up a few tips along the way about how to build a crowd when street performing.
One of the first things that I noticed was that when I had lights on my props and myself that it really seemed to catch people’s attention more than just having me stand there juggling by myself without any lighting effects at all. So I ran out and bought some black lights (UV lights) and started using them in my act. They were great! They made all of
I love to see street performers and when I was young I often went to the local market to watch them. There are a few things that don’t change much with time. The first is that the performers will be on the fringes of whatever is going on. This is for a few reasons, but the most important one is that they need to create their own space in order to perform.
We can’t expect people shopping at a market to stop what they are doing and watch us perform and so we need to create an environment where it is clear that we are performing, and that people should stop and watch.
I remember watching an opera singer perform on Oxford Street in London. She had created her own stage by placing a small stool in the middle of a large empty bit of pavement outside a department store. It was a great place for her to sing because it was right next to one of the entrances, so everyone coming into the building had to walk past her. She also had two friends who were dressed up as security guards standing either side of her singing along with her. This combination made it clear that something was happening and people stopped to watch.

The best part about being a street performer is that you get to do it all over again, every day. You can tweak your show, try new things, and generally hone your act. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment. All you need is one or two tricks and the will to perform them in front of strangers.
With practice, you can perfect your tricks and learn how to work the crowd. Besides, once you’ve perfected your performance and can do it in your sleep, what’s the fun of going on stage? The real fun is in making people laugh…
You don’t have to be a magician or an acrobat or a juggler or even a musician. You can be anything you want to be as long as you have the desire to perform in front of strangers and make them happy.
