1. Sound notes
 In musicals they create a sound scape
 They have around 40 microphones, which go under the
costume, on a belt, and come up onto the face. Some of
the cast will wear two microphones in case one breaks.
 They have loads of speakers meaning you don’t need to
make the music and actors really loud.
 The sound mixer needs to know; the script, the actors
and the orchestra.
 To make certain words more clear at the end of the
word they’ll turn the mics up.
