Distress in the Control Tower

by Anatomy of a Ghost

ADR (automatic dialogue replacement) all day-
(theres nothing automatic about it)
except when i was working the Fridays Live 100th episode.

FL went well, and had the best audience ive ever seen.

The first ADR session (before FL) went fine,
but the 2nd one was a chain of small nightmares...
including, but not limited to faulty equipment,
a stubborn studio console,
and a computer that likes to randomly shut off with no warning.

didn't go to the FL after party, after all.
a lot of people said they weren't going...
and i was exhausted. went home & straight to bed.

its now Saturday morning, and i head back in 15 minutes
to do the 3rd (and final) session.
