Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Location: A friend’s car, driving across campus

Sounds: The car speeding up and slowing down, a jacket moving repeatedly, people shifting positions, the driver’s shoes squeaking on the brakes and accelerator, muffled laughter, keys jingling quietly, windshield wipers

1. February 10th, Enterprise Dorm, 3rd floor
2. Farthest Away: Cars driving really far away
3. Medium Range: An airplane getting lower slowly, the trees outside, some people talking outside
4. Closest: A toilet flushing down the hall, people walking on the floor above me, me typing, a door opening down the hall
5. Sound Level: Very quiet. The sounds that happen are very low
6. Sound Activity: Each close sound happens very occasionally. There’s not a lot of quick movement, and the sounds don’t happen often. Not much activity at all
7. Description: Gentle
8. Essential Sounds: The cars driving, the doors opening and closing, and the trees moving quietly outside
