This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to make public announcements and call cues during live performances in the entertainment and events industries. Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display initiative, judgement and responsibility as they use high level communication and coordination skills to ensure that performances or events run smoothly from a logistical perspective. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to: Use call reference material to provide clear and accurate announcements, cues and calls for at least six performances over at least two different productions that have a range of technical and performance elements. Monitor performances and respond to variations with appropriate adjustments to the timing of cues. Manage a range of competing tasks within time constraints experienced during the running of live performances. Work collaboratively. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: Explain the purpose of a range of documentation used for calling performances. Explain key factors involved in the effective calling of performance. Describe the features and purpose of different ways of communicating backstage during performances. Describe issues and challenges that can arise when calling performances, along with solutions to address them. Explain the role of stage management personnel in the following production areas: Audio. Costume. Lighting. Production management. Show control. Staging. Vision systems.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the live entertainment and events industries. The assessment environment must include access to calling material, public performances and industry-standard communication equipment used to make announcements, cues and calls. Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.
