[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 82474, member: 1285"] Re: Thought I'd Say "Hi!" and THEN Ask a Question Musicals present a problem that is much more acute than with straight plays. Because the music and singing gets amplified, the spoken parts need to be (much) louder than what is needed for a play. When you can hear the actors adequately even from the back rows, it will still be way to quiet compared to the level the audience's ears are getting used to from the musical parts, and one finds that the level needs to be brought up as much as 10 dB or indeed lots more to get a good balance between the musical and the non-musical parts. There are very few ways around this, reducing the level of the musical parts is often a poor solution because it compromises that part of the performance. [/QUOTE]
