Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Stairway of Republic Hall

I recorded myself opening the door at the bottom of the stairs, going up, grabbing something at the top, returning down the steps and through the door once again. The door has a delay shutting, so you don’t hear the distinctive click until my footsteps on the stairs have already begun. You can hear how much heavier the footsteps are trudging up the stairs vs. hopping down them, as well as the difference in pattern.
