Call rolls and cuts no matter where you are or what you're doing. Loud. If you're doing this right (especially if you're the only one), the crew will know and respect you. Or, if they are from India, they'll yell "Quiet please" at you whenever you walk by.

I understand and agree with all of those things except "take it to two" could you please clarify this concept for me so that may truly become a master PA (for what that's worth.).
oh and i've been noticing more typos as of late...you ok? these kind of things get me worried.
btw, you called the other day - you didn't leave a msg, i don't think. i should really call you back, huh? that's how these things work i guess. ok, it's on me now...
Walky-talkies have 16 different channels. Production mainly uses Channel 1 (the Assistant Director's channel). When you are using a walky and you start having a long conversation on channel 1, or really any conversation the AD doesn't need to hear, you may be asked to "Take it to two," i.e. switch to channel two to have your conversation.
Yes, the typos are because I am tired.
