Sample text

Both of these theatrical forms have their extremes. For a realistic production, a sound design can be involved and cinematic, or it can be selective and representational. With stylization, the sound design can be either abstract, where the designer represents his or her thoughts through impressions of sounds, or absurd, where nonsense seems to prevail. THE REALISTIC APPROACH In a realistic approach, the sound effects and music should be true to life, with strong attention paid to factual detail.

This method differs from the more stylized technique of miking the weaponry to pick up every clash of metal. The distorted sound may not even be immediately THE FOUNDATION OF SOUND DESIGN recognizable as blades cutting the air, but you have selected an element from a realistic source upon which to base your interpretation. 22 In a production of Conference of the Birds, I compiled abstract aural images that had the effect of making the sound an extension of the language. There was a core group of actors taking a journey, but they did not use conventional language.

In musical terminology, the preshow is a prelude, the entr’acte (at intermission) a bridge, and the curtain call a coda. Underscoring accompanies the action of a scene and is not heard by the characters onstage. Its purpose is to underline the emotions of the moment. To maintain the focus of the scene, it may be helpful to place underscoring upstage of the actors. This forces the audience to listen “through” the actors, and keeps the sound literally in the background. Transitional sounds or music represent a movement of the action through time or place.
