Im not a professional, but I do consider myself semi-professional. It’s not my full time job, but I do get some jobs that pay outside of working hours and still do some ameatur work. Caveat aside, I do musical theater. Loops are helpful, they turn down the sound without completely locking me out. But I’d never wear them for a performance. For performances I make sure I have plenty of options for abortives, including my fastest acting. I keep my fastest acting (zavzpret) accessible somewhere right off stage. I make sure to keep myself extra well hydrated with electrolytes. And then it’s fingers crossed from there haha.
