Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. The Psibrary, Thursday, March 27, 2014, 5:30 pm

2. Identify the sounds furthest from you: I believe there’s some dance class going on right now because I can very faintly hear the vibrations of music.

3. Identify the sounds at a medium range to you: Pedro, Laura, Corinne and others are laughing and watching YouTube videos in the lounge. The door to Lowe slams shut. High heels stomp down the hallway.

4. Identify the sounds closest to you: Abbie is sitting at the desk, listening to soft jazzy music and singing along very softly. The sound of her voice is soothing and offsets the chaos in the lounge. She’s talking to Phil and me about Tumblr. Phil starts to play a video on YouTube and it conflicts with the soft music from Abbie’s computer.

5. The general sound level/activity: It’s about medium, with the undertones of the music being played in either 108 or 106. The soft music from Abbie, and the uproar of the lounge.

6. Word to describe sound environment: Jazzy.

7. The three sounds that complete the sound environment:
— Abbie’s soft music
— Laughing in the lounge
— Undertones of music from dance class
