Sound and Music for the Theatre: The Art and Technique of Design, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: A valuable investment
Review: A great introduction to the world of sound design for the theatre. Not only does it have a chapter on the history and evolution of sound design but it also has a chapter on experiences of sound designers - on how they deal with their work. The excerpts of designers' ideas and comments on a particular concept was very enriching. Add to that, it's an easy-to-read book. Being a sound designer myself, I could say I could relate a lot to their experiences. I highly recommend this book to theatre students taking up sound (design) courses or who wish to try their hands on the field. I personally learned a lot from this book and I have to say this is a valuable investment.

Summary: An excellent beginners guide to Sound in Theatre
Review: This book takes you through the basics of how to analize theatre from a sound perspective. It gives examples of system diagrams, run sheets, a sound plot, and includes a glossary of terms. Very insightful for the beginning sound designer!
