GabeAngelo Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Hello everyone! I am currently working on the production of a musical. I’m doing FOH. One of the actresses is moving a lot and on the ground where putting the mic pack on her back or anywhere around her waist seems like a bad idea. Any tips on where to hide the mic pack so that it’s both safe and out of sight. You guys are the best!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Rowand Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 If your TX is small enough you can put it under a wig. Could also use a chest strap or pouch attached to her bra if the costume allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB1 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Yes, leg. We had a case where the wardrobe didn't allow, so we placed in side torso, just below armpit (enough to clear the chest). Edit: The talent was on her back for most of her scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlw Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Under a wig is common in theatrical work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickreich Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Under wigs is always my go-to if at all possible - especially for Dancers or Stunters (the wigmakers need to know in advance - I have a set of wood 'dummy packs' to send to them for fittings). Between shoulder blades works sometimes. Ursa make a nice double arm-loop strap for that now. Under the arm like a shoulder holster can be done using the same Ursa strap with an extra pouch stitched on. Both of those positions are heavily used on Athletes as well for transmitters or GPS Trackers - and there are lycra 'halter tops' made for the purpose. Also under the breast/pec works on some shows depending on costume. That's how many of the roles in 'Cats' have been done for 30-something years - but also more recent shows like 'Newsies' on performers who end up flat on their backs or tumbling. Put a foam filled pouch on the other side to keep them symmetrical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
