How to use Shoflo as a

Show Caller

We love Show Callers at Shoflo... you are the conductors of the industry! It's important to us that you feel equipped in understanding how you can use Shoflo to make your show lives better.

Overview of a Show Caller

As a Show Caller, you can broadcast your current position (item row) during rehearsals & show. Your crew can choose to "Track" you as you jump from row to row which helps keep everybody on the same page. Your current tracking position is represented with a bright blue bar. You advance your blue tracking bar forward by hitting the SPACEBAR, and press SHIFT + SPACE to track backwards.
