Sound and Music for the Theatre

Protecting each section of a theatrical manufacturing, this fourth version of Sound and Music for the Theatre traces the method of sound design from preliminary idea by implementation in precise performances.

The guide discusses the early evolution of sound design and the way it helps the play, from researching sources for music and results, to negotiating a contract. It reveals you tips on how to manage the development of the sound design parts, how the designer features in a rehearsal, and tips on how to arrange and practice an operator to run sound gear. This instructive info is interspersed with ‘conflict shops’ describing real-life issues with options that you would be able to apply in your individual work, whether or not you’re a sound designer, composer, or sound operator.
