Church Sound: Rate Your Audio Performance With This Handy Scorecard

Post Service

Scoring
Questions aren’t weighed — I’m going for simplicity for you and me.

25-23: Great job, you’ve just got a few things to correct.

20-22: Good job, now tackle the areas you answered “no.”

17-19: Try mentoring with another team member to improve.

16-under: Attend training, read some audio books, team-up with another person on the audio team to learn more about the aspects of audio production.

No matter how low you scored, don’t feel bad, because everyone started at the bottom. As long as you’re improving each time you run sound, you’re moving in the right direction.

What was your score? (I scored 22.)
