Republic Hall, hallway
My friend was describing the food at a German restaurant that she went to the day before. I enjoyed the way she emphasized certain words or syllables in order to convey what the food was like. Her voice is naturally smooth but the jolts in her speech make her enthusiasm evident. Unfortunately, I cut the clip off right before she finished her sentence.
Location: 13th Floor Lounge of Enterprise Dormitory Hall — April 11th, 2013, 10:15 pm
Sounds Heard: This is a longer clip than usual, but I wanted to record the entire warm-up. My improv troupe is in tech week for a show, and we have late night rehearsals at which we first warm up by taking turns sharing a story while leading a group stretch. I made the mistake of asking my troupe if I could record them beforehand, so they can at first be heard making jokes about it, while the troupe leader Will tries to rein in their focus. We then take turns telling stories. At various points (usually at the start of a new stretch), moaning and groaning can be heard when the story-telling troupe member attempts a particularly difficult stretch. You can also hear from time to time (like during Annie’s cantaloupe story) the volume of the storyteller’s voice increasing as he or she moves to the floor and closer to my phone for a stretch.
Location: NAB Light Booth, 7:20pm, 4/11/2013
Sounds: Faint vacuum sound, clicking of mouse and keys on a keyboard, Courtney coughing and shuffling her position around in her chair. The loneliness and lack of excitement of the light booth as we wait for rehearsal to start in contrast to the excitement of the vacuuming and last minute set touch-ups going on below us
