The Art of Theatrical Sound Design

A Practical Guide

About this book

Emphasising the artistry behind the decisions made by theatrical sound designers, this guide is for anyone seeking to understand the nature of sound and how to apply it to the stage. Through tried-and-tested advice and lessons in practical application, The Art of Theatrical Sound Design allows developing artists to apply psychology, physiology, sociology, anthropology and all aspects of sound phenomenology to theatrical sound design.

Structured in three parts, the book explores, theoretically, how human beings perceive the vibration of sound; offers exercises to develop support for storytelling by creating an emotional journey for the audience; considers how to collaborate and communicate as a theatre artist; and discusses how to create a cohesive sound design for the stage.

THEORETIC 
FOUNDATION
PART 
ONE
This 
section 
of 
the 
book 
will 
help 
define 
the 
evolutionary 
and 
the 
associational 
response 
in 
human 
beings 
to 
sound 
and 
music. 
We 
innately 
hear 
specific 
way 
because 
of 
the 
evolution 
of 
our 
species. 
And 
our 
experiences 
create 
an 
understanding 
through 
association 
of 
meaning 
and 
feeling 
with 
what 
we 
hear. 
When 
we 
combine 
evolution 
and 
association 
to 
sound 
and 
music, 
we 
have 
larger 
grasp 
of 
the 
phenomenology 
of 
sound. 
In 
the 
following, 
the 
breakdown 
of 
exactly 
what 
happens 
when 
we 
hear, 
how 
we 
perceive 
it, 
and 
the 
association 
of 
emotion 
and 
meaning 
will 
be 
explained.
