COVID-19: Procedures to Protect Ourselves and Our Community (UPDATE)
By Hannah Harlacher
COVID-19: Procedures to protect ourselves and our community as of July 31, 2020.
As BC continues to show signs of progress combating COVID-19, we are updating some procedures at Wave Productions. As always, we encourage any feedback, suggestions, questions or positive thoughts.
Contact details for Wave staff and partners are listed below. Please reach out to us.
Details of our current measures at Wave (which are subject to change as the situation
evolves) are:
1. We will welcome two attendees from agency or client-side to join us in the control
room during session. All other participants should attend sessions virtually – to review
and approve remotely. We have several options for efficiently communicating during
sessions and for approvals, which include Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Source Connect,
or basic phone conference.
2. We will not be holding in-person audition sessions. Suitable performers will be asked
to submit ‘self-taped’ auditions based on the script and direction we provide. Any
performer needing more specific direction or feedback, is welcome to contact one of our
audio producers (Craig Z, Craig W or Dave – see contact details below) prior to
submitting their audition.
3. We are staggering sessions, which allows us to limit number of attendees at the
studio, including staff, to 10 or fewer at any given time. And outside of their staggered
attendance at Wave, all staff are staying home, practicing physical distancing and
frequent hand washing.
5. Performer call times are being staggered, and performers will always be recorded
separately – always one performer in the booth at a time. As well, to avoid having us
enter the isolated booth with the talent, we’re asking each performer to adjust their own
mics and headphones, with verbal assistance from us if needed.
6. Prior to and immediately following each recording, mics, headphones, mic stands,
music stands, pencils, cables, door handles and all surfaces in the studio and common
areas will be sanitized.
7. If at any time prior to a confirmed session, the attending client or booked performer
feels at all unwell or suspects they’ve come in contact with someone who is unwell, we
ask that they immediately cancel attendance at Wave. We will also be contacting
booked performers the evening prior to each session to allow them the opportunity to
cancel if required. And finally, if we suspect a performer is less than 100% when they
arrive for session, they will be asked to leave immediately.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Please contact us for more information
as per below.

COVID-19: Procedures to protect ourselves and our community as of June 1, 2020
We are encouraged by the progress that BC has made in flattening the curve and
minimizing risk to our collective well-being these past few months. Now, as we move
into BC’s Restart Plan and expand our interactions at the studio and in the community,
we’re looking forward to re-connecting, while maintaining a safe work-environment for
our staff, clients and performer partners. In that spirit, we have updated some
procedures at Wave Productions and as always, we encourage any feedback,
suggestions, questions or positive thoughts 🙂
Contact details for Wave staff and partners are listed below. Please reach out to us.
Details of our current measures at Wave (which are subject to change as the situation

The well-being of our staff, clients and performer partners is of utmost importance to us during this difficult and unprecedented time. For that reason, and to help flatten the curve, we have been implementing procedures at Wave that we believe will help to serve our common goal – to keep our communities safe. We encourage any feedback, suggestions, questions or positive thoughts:) Contact details for Wave staff and partners are listed below. Please reach out to us.
Details of our current measures at Wave (which are subject to change as the situation evolves) are:
1. We require clients and agency to attend sessions virtually – to review and approve remotely. We have several options for efficiently communicating during sessions and for approvals, which include Zoom, Skype, Source Connect, or basic phone conference. For now, we will not be hosting clients/agency inside our control rooms.
2. We will not be holding in-person audition sessions. Suitable performers will be asked to submit ‘self-taped’ auditions based on the script and direction we provide. Any performer needing more specific direction or feedback, is welcome to contact one of our audio producers (Craig Z, Craig W or Dave – see contact details below) prior to submitting their audition.
3. We are staggering sessions, which allows us to limit number of attendees at the studio, including staff, to 5 or fewer at any given time. Everyone is required to practice safe distancing while in the office space. Outside of their staggered attendance at Wave, all staff are staying home, practicing physical distancing and frequent hand washing.
4. Performer call times are being staggered, and performers will always be recorded separately – always one performer in the booth at a time. As well, to avoid having us enter the isolated booth with the talent, we’re asking each performer to adjust their own mics and headphones, with verbal assistance from us if needed. During the session, we ask the performer to take any precautions necessary to make them feel comfortable (ex. waiting for approvals in their vehicle or bringing their own headphones).
5. Prior to and immediately following each recording, mics, headphones, mic stands, music stands, pencils, cables, door handles and all surfaces in the studio and common areas will be sanitized.
6. If at any time prior to a confirmed session, the booked performer at all feels unwell or even uncomfortable leaving their homes, we require them to cancel their booking – no questions asked. We will also be contacting performers the evening prior to each session to allow them the opportunity to cancel if required. And finally, if we suspect a performer is less than 100% when they arrive for session, they will be asked to leave immediately.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Please contact us for more information as per below.
