Thanks Jeff and Sebi! Jeff. This was my initial plan before props threw me a curve ball. They gutted the phone to install a lighting system on it that is also crucial to the story. Because there is only one actor on camera I think my solution should work fine. For the actor though I really wanted access to the speaker. Sebi. Thanks! Really similar to what I’m up against and helpful to watch this. Just grateful I’ll have both actors in the building and not have to do a conference call. Amazing! Thanks!

Thanks to both of you. The director is pretty concerned about the phone feeling real and it allowing the actor to immerse themselves hence the in-ear. Since the prop department just gutted the phone (found out after I posted) we’re opting for a Bubblebee Sidekick 3 in-ear to cue the main on camera talent and the camera is going to shoot around it. Both on-camera and off-camera will be mic’d up and we’ll be aiming for keeper audio on both of them. The off-camera actor will be in another room with the feed to the earpiece. Not certain yet whether this will be hard-wired to the ear piece or IFB. Thanks! jonas

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m doing location sound on a feature soon and it’s being shot mostly in one room and mostly with the main talent on the telephone with the other (voice) actors off camera talking to her through the phone. My plan is to use my DPA4060 as lav on the main actor and then also boom. I’m also hoping to send the off-camera actor’s voice to the telephone speaker in hopes for realistic performances. The off-camera actor will also be lav’d with a 4060 and then also a dynamic microphone to send the audio to the telephone speaker. Hoping that both actors audio will be great and useable. A few questions: 1. How concerned should I be about bleed from the telephone speaker into the chest lav? 2. Potential problems I may run into? Am I approaching this from the right angle? 3. Haven’t been able to confirm if the telephone lines are active at the location we are shooting but was intending on using the JK Audio That-2 (https://www.jkaudio.com/that-2.htm)to send and receive the audio to the phone but I’m assuming it needs power from the phone system and wondering if there is a work around for this? Thanks in advance for any insight. It’s much appreciated. Best, Jonas
