Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. 2/23/12  4:30pm Hofstra University Special Collections

2. The sound farthest away from me is the computer playing “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston, and the click-clack of a keyboard.

3. The sounds at a medium range from me are the squeaking of a rolling chair turning back and forth and my coworker on the phone with another department.

4. The sounds closest to me are the whirring and printing sounds of the copy machine as it makes multiple copies at a time and the sounds of me cracking my knuckles and sighing from standing for a long time.

5. The general sound level is moderate and the sound activity is steady.

6. This environment can be described as “productive”.

7. Three sounds essential to the sound environment are the sounds of the copy machine, my coworker on the phone, and the sounds of her keyboard.  These together create the feeling of a busy, productive office.
