Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Location: Adams Playhouse, Hofstra University 

Sounds heard: French horn, marimba, air conditioning running, musicians playing, pieces of equipment slamming against each other. 

This was recorded shortly after at 5:20 in the ceramic studio office, you can hear my coworker and I talking and laughing and sound of me typing on my laptop, as well as the sound of her walking around the office.

This was recorded at 5:03 in the Ceramic studio office – you hear me sniffling, the sound of me typing on my laptop, the faint whine of the fans in the kiln room and then the sound of a door closing.

This was recorded this morning at 7:16 AM at Manor Parkway – you can hear me walking down the stairs and sniffling, the creaking of the stairs, then the air-fryer warming up and the sounds of my partner making coffee and then the sound of us exchanging greetings and talking.

Location: Dunkin’ on the Quad

Sounds Heard: Hum of the coffee and cold drink machines, people talking, movement of kitchen supplies, quiet background music from the radio station playing through the speakers, someone laughing, parchment paper rustling, a worker calling out an order number.

Location: My room, early morning

Sounds heard: Computer fan, keyboard typing, classical music off phone, notification through laptop, birds chirping outside

Location: Dover house C Square

Sounds: Water running, dishes being cleaned, water being dumped out of cups, cups being put down, muffled laughter, clattering

Location: 4/25/23, Citi Field

Sounds heard: people (including kids) chatting, the din from the people at the stadium all talking, the announcer’s voice announcing Luis García, me and my friend discussing what happened in the game, a very good pun by me (Luis Ghost-cia)

Location: in my car, driving from my house to Hofstra.

Sounds Heard: turn signal clicking and turning off, wheel turning, car engines revving, wind, car engines running, other cars driving by.

Sounds in video: Me eating lunch, me and my roommates sniffling, me and my roommates clearing our throats, gravity falls in the background, my roommates taking to each other
