“Two Guys Audio”

The Sound Production crew for The Playroom basically consists of two guys. In fact I like to call it “Two Guys Audio” because we are trying to do the work of what would normally take a couple more. We consist of one boom operator Patrick Wylie who is doing an excellent job pushing for every inch and one sound mixer, me, Mark Angelo. Oh, I almost forgot. Andie Day and Jen Schossow from the Wardrobe Department have been great helping with body mics on all the actors. A special thanks to them.
