Sound Engineer Carin Ford ensures the sound design of a production is transparent to audiences while effecting the mood and feel of a show. Ford traces her career from her early interest in music, to meeting and working with Lily Tomlin, to numerous Broadway productions. Ford explains how mixing a new show requires observing rehearsals before adjustments can be made during run-throughs, incorporating notes from the director, designers, and music team. Ford walks us through her daily routine at "La Cage Aux Folles" to check the sound system, so she is prepared for any problems that may arise.
