Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

February 23rd, 12:10pm–Breslin Hall, Room 111

Farthest Away: The hum of the microphones and buzz of the HVAC system.

Medium Range: The squeaking of the chairs moving.

Closest: The soft rasp professor’s voice coming in through the speaker above me. The soft click of the MAC keyboard directly behind me.

Sound Level: Everything was at a pretty low level, except for the squeaking chairs. They would cut everything out  and be the only thing you could hear the second the chair moved.

Sound Activity: The hum of the microphones and buzz of the HVAC were consistent and did not change. The squeaking chairs were harsh and quick every two to three minutes. The soft click of the keyboard would be consistent for two minutes, and then go away and come back a couple minutes later at the same level. The sound of the professor’s voice was inconsistent, as he would pause in the middle of a sentence and occasionally speak louder or softer; he also moved around the room which would either bring his voice closer to me or farther away.
