[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 130931, member: 67"] Re: What's common practice for theatre foldback? Piano and any pitch or rhythm cuing from other instruments. Often changes to foldback are programmed into the mixer's scene automation. Putting vocals in the monitors will insure that singers are behind the beat (waiting to hear themselves with the delay of distance between the speakers and actors). Because of the late arrival the actors will then ask for more SPL. You will play this "dog chasing his tail" game until you have feedback and the director thinks you are incompetent. JUST SAY NO. I'm sure there will be replies about the West End or Broadway productions that do put vox into the foldback, but for traditional musicals its very rare. At the amateur and school level, you'll be ahead to not do this. [/QUOTE]
