As long as you have a Jamulus setup, you can help out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How do I volunteer? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact someone in the admin team: Simon Tomlinson, Sam Tomlinson, Astrid Mert, Laura Mardones, Simon &#8220;Houbsta&#8221; White, Jono. Catch them on Facebook, or drop a line to worldjamming &#8216;at&#8217; gmail &#8216;dot&#8217; com (it&#8217;s probably better to use Facebook).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical show is run by a team of 13 people and represents 26 hours work, not including preparation beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Technical Roles for the show &amp; time commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Soundcheck Technician<\/strong> (quick to learn) : 1 hour pre-show x 5 people <br><em>Help people check their levels &amp; Zoom video<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Sound Engineer<\/strong> : 1\u00bd hours pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>Mixes the sound during the show and sets up soundcheck rooms<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Broadcast Engineer<\/strong> : 1\u00bd hours pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>Does vision mixing (scene transitions) and sets up host cameras using OBS<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Non Technical Roles for the show &amp; time commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Director <\/strong>: 1 hour pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>All aspects of show timing, last minute changes, and running order during show<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Host <\/strong>: 1\u00bd hours pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>Presents the show<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Studio Manager<\/strong> : \u00bd hour pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>Keeps backstage ticking over, briefs musicians about to go on<\/em>, <em>lastminute checks<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Assistant Studio Manager <\/strong>: \u00bd hour pre-show and 2\u00bd hours for the show<br><em>Gathers musicians from Waiting Rooms, finds absent people &#8211; a &#8220;runner&#8221; in backstage<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Roles outside of Show hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Producer <\/strong>(weekly but pre-show) : 2 hours during the week, approximately<br><em>Sets the running order, posts stuff to Facebook, sets up the streaming events<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Art<\/strong> : any ideas welcome.

There you will discover channels which are available to discuss all the technical and logistical aspects of creating a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you say hello in Discord, then we will activate the &#8220;admin&#8221; section of the WorldJam website. This contains the rota &#8211; so that you can put your name down for roles &#8211; and a Wiki with a good description of what is involved in each of the roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volunteer community will be glad to help you onboard in all of the roles. Training sessions are organised from time to time for the more complex roles. Many can be learned by shadowing someone doing that role at a show. You will join and watch everything they do and hear them doing the roles in the different backstage Jamulus servers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All roles can be handed over to a shadow as part of the learning process. This also means if you want to do a role but really cannot commit all the time, you may still be able to help and do part of a show to allow someone else a break during the show too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a techie or an \u00fcber geek to volunteer and help out backstage at our weekly event.
