The Sound Engineer should stop the habit of leaving the theatre before the Stage Manager says so. There was once where the Director requested the Sound Engineer to make changes to the soundscape but he was nowhere to be found.

I may not have the opportunity to interact with the Sound Engineer a lot but occasionally, I could hear him experimenting with different audio effects. For instance when he was recording the preshow announcement, he did numerous takes, from emphasizing the accents to the tone of the speaker. These actions suggest that he is not someone who would settle for mediocrity.
