Great sound doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of knowledgeable volunteers working together to create a seamless worship experience. Unfortunately, many churches overlook the importance of ongoing training for their audio teams, leading to common mistakes that disrupt services and diminish the overall worship atmosphere.
In this episode of The Church Sound Podcast, host Prentiss L. Thompson sheds light on the #4 mistake churches make with audio: Lack of Volunteer Training. From mismanaged soundboards to poor mic control and feedback issues, untrained teams can unintentionally create audio problems that frustrate both the congregation and leadership. But the good news? These challenges are entirely preventable with the right guidance.
