On Wednesday, I went to the Wycombe Swan to do my sound recordings for my acoustic portrait. I didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped.
When I got there, the duty manager was aware that I was arriving but had not been given any background information on my project and I didn't have the correct permission to record some of the things i'd hoped for. I wasn't able to record any rehearsals, live shows or sound checks. I was only allowed to record the foyer and the audience taking their seats at the start. This was quite disappointing as I'd set it up however the manager I had been emailing was not there that evening. I was still able to get a lot of sounds that I will be able to include such as announcements for the show.
As an alternative so I still have some live music, I have emailed the president of the Musical Theatre Society on campus and he has given me permission to record some of their rehearsals.
The mixture of the two places will be difficult to put together however I am lucky to be given this opportunity to record so I will make it work when editing.
