Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So I work at a local news station and if you have no experience or knowledge of how the production side works all of our team has headphones with a mic on it so we can communicate to each other. The main purpose is to listen to the commands of the technical director, but as well as the Producer just in case he/she changes something in the show, which happens often. 

During the week I run the graphics of the show and video/packages and for the whole team it's KEY to listen to the director because he/she is telling us when what and where to run things. We also all chat during the show mostly during commercial but also sometimes during the show depending on the story, but we try to keep this to a minimal. 

Here's my issue: we have two producers, but one of them is super loud and doesn't stop talking. He/she was just moved to our show (I work mornings and he/she used to work nights) but everyone from night said he/she never shuts up. I have Thursday and Friday off and I play fortnite with some of the team and last Thursday our director said our Executive Producer came to drop some scrips but also said "I am going to talk to ***** he/she needs to shut the fuck up." Well nothing has changed. Our director has a really low voice (he admits it), so I have to raise the volume of the headphones but it's still at reasonable Volume (12 of clock on the nob). It really hurts my ear when he/she gets into a conversation and raises his/her voice. I literally take my headphones off but I can only do it for a couple seconds cuz if not it's gonna affect to show. 

He/she acknowledge it once when we were talking about something and I had to remove my headphones cuz it hurts and I told her "Sometimes you kinda scream when you get into a conversation and it hurts and it's not necessary." She wasn't rude in her response but you could tell she was defensive when she says "I don't scream." And I apologized and was "I just meant you can be loud." She responded again in a defensive tone "I don't talk loud. I project. I use my diaphragm, they teach you that in theater. " I just turned around and rolled my eyes. In my head I was like "bitch this ain't theater. We have mics for a reason, you don't have to project." To be real, he/she IS loud. 

I'm conflicted, cuz I hate when people go to a supervisor when it could be fixed by talking with the person directly. Also, the team also agrees with me that he/she is too loud but they are too nice and nonconfrontational. I also ask myself if I'm part of me wants to just go to the Executive Producer cuz I'm supper annoyed about this person but this person has a bit of history of being somewhat unreasonably stubborn. 

I have no issue with confrontation. I love debating and have no issue arguing but I don't want this person to have something against me. I don't want any awkwardness. 

So AITA here for not talking to her a second time?
