What matters most
Build the reveal as a timed sequence: build-up bed, countdown, hit on the reveal, then sustain.
Points to work through
- Lock the exact moment of the hit to the visual cue — video, lighting or curtain.
- Rehearse the countdown with whoever calls it so the number and the sound align.
- Prepare a clean recovery cue in case the reveal is delayed by a few seconds.
- Keep the reveal file offline and tested on the actual system, not streamed.
