Overview

This book talks about acoustics from a point of view that anyone can understand. No prior knowledge of sound? No problem. We start by taking a look at the early theatres in Greece and Rome and what made them so successful. We talk about the acoustical properties of music halls and theatres and the different acoustical needs for sound vs. music. We take a look at the various types of venues in which theatre is done today and the acoustical challenges associated with each. We discuss how sound propagates in open and enclosed spaces and the unique acoustical challenges to working outdoors. This book takes the important topics from the study of acoustics from a physics and architectural standpoint and breaks it down into the basic things from that are important to us as theatre artist including case studies from actual productions and theatre venues.
