We are actively seeking dedicated volunteers with a blend of technical audio skills, an artistic "ear," and good interpersonal communication to join ERUUF's Sound Team. New members will spend a period of time "shadowing" experienced sound techs during Sunday worship services, learning the technical skills necessary to run the sound board. Generally speaking, the following soft skills are useful:
- A "Good Ear": The ability to listen critically and discern what a good, balanced mix should sound like in real time.
- Quick Thinking & Problem Solving: The ability to stay calm and troubleshoot unexpected technical issues (e.g., feedback, equipment malfunction) quickly during a live service.
- Communication & Teamwork: Working effectively with the worship leader, music director, and other tech team members, taking direction, and relaying information clearly.
- Attention to Detail: Being thorough during setup, sound checks, and the service itself to ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Adaptability: The willingness to learn new equipment and techniques as technology changes.
Our Sound Team plays a vital role in enhancing the worship experience both in person and online. If you would like to serve ERUUF in this important capacity, please contact Wendy Looker, Music Director.
