Music and sound effects are an integral part of the theatrical experience and can add immeasurably to the success of a show. A sound designer may contribute to a production by:
- Reading through the script and noting any particular music or sound effects required
- Attending rehearsals to suggest where music or sound effects might be used
- Sourcing sounds. Music is normally found in the director or crew's private collections, some sound effects CDs are available in the theatre, sound effect files are also available on the internet from site such as The Free Sound Project
- Loading sounds onto the PC (which uses software called Sound Cue System) for use during performance
- If necessary, recording composite sounds (E.g. rain with dog barking, music with gunfire etc.)
- Rigging speakers at get-in
- Setting sound levels at the Technical Rehearsal
- Liaising with the Sound Operator about the running of cues
