Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. 2/16/12   8:30pm    HofUSA

2. Farthest away from me, people are eating in the next room, talking, and laughing. A t.v. in the same room as me plays some kind of show or music video.

3. At a medium range, music is coming from the Dance Dance Revolution game in the arcade, along with other various arcade sounds.

4. The sounds closest to me are the sounds of pool balls being hit across the pool table and people commenting on whether it was a good shot.  My friends next to me are talking about where their food is.

5. The general sound level is very loud and there is a large amount of sound activity coming from every direction.

6. I would describe this environment as “hectic”.

7. Three sounds essential to this environment are the sounds being made at the pool table, the sounds of the arcade, and the sounds of people talking in the other room with their food.  The environment is meant to be a hangout, and these sounds represent that idea.
