Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. Date: 4/11/20 – Time: 11:15am – Location: My Yard

2. Farthest from me, I can hear my neighbors from across the street talking and their car doors being closed.  I can hear the wind constantly blowing through the trees in the backyard.

3. In a medium range, I can hear some cars passing by my house, which includes the sound of a mail truck.  Also, I hear the mailman opening up and shutting several mailboxes along the street.

4. The sounds closest to me include my footsteps and the sound of a metal shovel banging against rocks.  I can hear the bag of mulch being emptied onto the flowerbed as well.

5. The general sound level is rather quiet than noisy since there is only a little amount of sound activity occurring.

6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “delightful”.

7. Three sounds that are essential to the “sound environment” are the wind blowing through the trees, a metal shovel banging against rocks, and the sound of the mail truck.
