Performing Arts Technician Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently handled a complex switch from one venue to another with minimal downtime, managing a microwave transmission setup for a live show at [Company Name]. Our team relied on a tight 15 minute rehearsal window to test signal reception and transmitter health, and I kept the crew aligned while swapping cables and adjusting antenna angles. The result was seamless video transmission with stable picture during a 90 minute broadcast, even as lighting and makeup changes happened in real time. I bring solid hands on skills across camera operation, lighting, and sound, with a focus on reliability under pressure. I regularly select and attach equipment to cameras, position angles to follow action, and set up lighting so scenes read clearly on a variety of screens. I also handle microphone layout and audio mixing duties, and I am comfortable with basic on set makeup touch ups when needed. A recent project at [Previous Company] involved remounting a transmit rack and validating spare parts for an extended run. I led a small team to maintain and repair transmitters during weekly tech rehearsals, significantly improving up time for the network feed. The work required precise fault finding, a calm approach to troubleshooting, and clear communication with producers and stage crew. I am available to discuss how my background fits [Company Name] and the upcoming season. I can meet for a chat in the next week or two and bring examples of schematics and on set transcripts if helpful. Kind regards, [Your Name]
