Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Posts Tagged ‘the bachelor’

February 13th, 2022 |

The sound environment took place 02/07/2022-9:30pm-Alliance 12th Floor Lounge
Far sounds include the door outside of the lounge swinging open and shutting closed quickly with force as people walk in and out of the upstairs lounge space.
Medium sounds near me is the constant clicking of controller switches as my boyfriend plays a game, as well as the sound of his slow inhales and exhales.
Closest to me is the dialogue vibrating from the tv. “I appreciate you being vulnerable gabby- will you accept this rose?”
Without focusing it may seem like there is only one sound flooding the room, that being the sound coming from the tv. However when doing this exercise one realizes there is a lot more comprising this sound environment than general droning of the bachelor.
One word: Co-existence
In order for the environment to stay in tact I feel as though the most important sounds are the clicking of the controller, the rise and fall of deep breaths being inhaled and exhaled, and the dialogue blaring from the tv that signifies what I am doing.
