I love watching audiences leave a show.
They talk about the performers.
The funny moments.
The standing ovation.
Almost nobody says, "The sound engineer did a brilliant job."
And that's exactly how it should be.
When technical production is working well, it disappears into the background. The microphones just work. The lights change at the right moment. The presentation appears when it's supposed to.
Success isn't being noticed.
Success is everyone remembering the event instead of the technology.
If the audience is talking about the experience rather than the equipment, someone's probably done their job well.
