Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. Date: 3/22/20 – Time: 12:00pm – Location: Estabrook Parking Lot

2. Farthest away from me, I can hear other students and their parents talking to each other, and their car trunks being closed.  I can also hear the wheels of their bins being dragged along the concrete.

3. In a medium range, I can hear my parents talking about wearing masks and gloves before entering the building.  Moreover, I can hear the trunk of our car being slowly opened.

4. Closest to me, I can hear the footsteps of both myself and my mother, as well as me complaining that the mask is causing my glasses to fog.  I can hear the wheels of my bin dragging along the concrete as I pull it.

5. The general sound level is a bit noisy due to the bins being pushed/pulled along the concrete. Other than this, there is not much sound activity taking place.

6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “peaceful”.

7. Three sound that are essential to the “sound environment” are the bins being pushed/pulled along the concrete, my complaints about my glasses being fogged, and my parents talking to each other.
