How to resolve AdBlock issue? Tutorial Series on Producing Videos for Orchestra Musicians by Neumann
When applying for a coveted position in an orchestra, musicians in the classical field are now often faced with the challenge of creating compelling audition videos, not only from a musical perspective, but also in terms of sound and appearance. The Orchesterakademie at the Staatskapelle Berlin and Georg Neumann GmbH have teamed up to produce an 11-part English language series of tutorial videos, covering all aspects, from choosing the right room and selecting microphones as well as other audio hardware, to video technology and proper lighting with simple means.
With the participation of numerous musicians from the Orchesterakademie, different types of microphones and their positioning are demonstrated for a wide range of instruments. Special emphasis was placed on easy explanations, also for those with no prior knowledge of sound and video technology.
Andrea Bautista Pamplona, Organizational Manager of the Orchesterakademie at the Staatskapelle Berlin, summarizes: “We are pleased to provide our musicians with a solid foundation of knowledge in these technical aspects, thanks to this very successful cooperation with Neumann, a world-renowned company in the field of audio technology.”
The tutorial series will be published on the Neumann YouTube channel, and will shortly be available on the YouTube channel of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden as well.
