Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Sunday, February 27th, 2:36pm

Location: The breakfast nook at Jane Street

Far Sounds: A car speeding on the main road, The Dixie Chicks playing in Lizzy’s room, the wind making the branches creak, trash bags rustling in the wind 

Medium Sounds: The dryer going, a metal button scraping in the dryer, Tori and Arianna laughing and talking, a car with a loud muffler driving by my house, doors creaking open and close, the wind whistling up against the windows, someone listening to country in the upstairs bathroom

Close sounds: My phone playing “More Than This” by One Direction, the mesh screen hitting the window, Tori and Arianna pouring water in the kitchen, chair creaking underneath me, radiator blowing out hot air in the bathroom

 Sound Description/Level: Loud but quiet, the only constant sound is the dryer going. It is like I am trying to focus on all of these sounds at once but they all happen so quickly. Sometimes all the sounds can be heard at once, but sometimes it is only the dryer that is going

One Word Description: Sporadic

Most important sounds: The mesh screen hitting on the window, Tori and Arianna laughing, metal button scraping in the dryer, chair creaking
