June 17th & 18th 2026

Registration now open!

Our hugely successful two day 'Mixing for Musicals' training course will run on February 11th & 12th 2026.

Mixing for Musicals is far, far more than just another "this is how a mixing desk works" workshop - Mixing for Musicals participant's are taken through every stage of the process from the rehearsal room to setting up a desk in its base state, including the theory, introduction to why line-by-line mixing is so important, and what happens when you don't do it.

Hands-on experience is an essential aspect of the course, which includes the opportunity to talk in depth to the sound team of current West End shows.

Held at our purpose-built training rooms, programming suite & sound studio in Brixton, London the course focuses on the practical skills and theory behind best-practice FOH mixing requirements for modern musicals.

The students experience all the essential tasks associated with sound operating excellence, from basic mixing theory to working with the latest digital mixing technology.

Sound for Stage Managers training course (London - July 2026)
July 14th 2026

We are pleased to announce our brand-new course Sound For Stage Managers, after several years of research, pilots schemes and investigation.

Increasingly Stage Managers in the theatre world are expected to possess skills in multiple areas and are asked to work across departments - often without adequate preparation.

This course is tailored for Stage Management of all levels, touching upon the basic elements of theatre sound that may be required in their current or future job roles. "Sound For Stage Managers" covers the fundamentals of how

audio systems work, midi sound effects show control, an understanding of Qlab show audio programming, radio microphone and basic comms equipment techniques.

The aim is to give Stage Managers more confidence in understanding the "black arts" that lie within sound and communications - to empower them to not be fearful of cross-over roles and to enlighten them has two how best react when things don't go quite as originally planned!

"Sound For Stage Managers" will bring a higher level of understanding when operating sound for a play, for a Tech ASM covering sound roles on a musical, or the ever-increasing demands of Stage Management in the rehearsal room or live event.

Hands-on experience is an essential aspect with Orbital's training courses, which include guest experts and significant use of equipment guided by our experienced team.

Held at our purpose-built training rooms, warehouse & sound studio in Brixton, London the course focuses on the practical skills that are essential in modern theatre.
