Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. 04/14/2022-2:30pm- On a bench outside of Calkins Hall. 
2. Farthest Sounds: laughs from people sitting on the quad, traffic from cars on the nearby road 
3. Medium Sounds: the crunching of soil as a Hofstra Plant worker shovels into the ground, birds chirping in the trees above the bench. 
4. Closest Sounds: loud slamming of tap shoes hitting the floor from the opened window of a classroom in Calkins right above the bench, the flipping of pages in the notebook on my lap as a breeze comes through. 
5. There is a fair amount of sound activity, but it is really spaced out making it seem quiet or as if there is not that much occurring. 
6. One Word: Melodic 
7. The sound of the tap dancing is absolutely needed to maintain this environment, ever since doing musical theatre in high school I have always found the sound of tap shoes hitting the floor to be a pleasant sound thus the choice to pick melodic. The birds chirping and distant laughing also contributes. Being outside and seeing others outside enjoying the warm weather really indicated that we are in a new season. It felt very soothing to be outside and away from just sitting in a classroom, and it felt good to see others enjoying this time as well.

4. The sounds that are closest to me are the birds chirping. I was also sitting with my friend, who was on the phone, so I heard her whole conversation as well.

5.  The sounds were peaceful.  I was pretty much centered on the birds chirping because it was a beautiful day.  My friend was not talking too loud and the girls at the table next to us were talking relatively soft as well.
