Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Location of clip: The Den, my house.

Sounds heard: Mom flapping a garbage bag, me playing Skyrim and zipping up my backpack, followed by Mom typing quickly on the keyboard. Mom then gets up from her chair with the garbage bag in hand, and leaves while I continue to play the game.

1- Feb 6, 10:10pm, Republic Hall dorm room

2- Footsteps down the hallway, the occasional door opening/closing, the inconsistent clink of the washer/dryer across the hall

3- Soundtrack and effects of a videogame (Skyrim), slightly garbled conversation between a few guys, the jingling of a key ring being played with

4- Guitar strumming/tapping and tuning, the occasional squeak of the stings, intermittent breaths of the person sitting next to me

5- The sound level is medium-low; everyone is lazily occupied with their own tasks but keeping an eye on what’s happening on screen – the activity is at a low buzz

6- Lax (Relaxed)

7- Guitar noises (strumming, tapping, etc), the sound effects of the videogame, garbled conversation/chatter
