The application of the stage acoustics of the small theatre drama

With the rise of these small theatrical dramas, the consumption market of drama becomes more and more popular, and the creation of drama plays a new stage. Compared with the traditional drama creation, the major creation elements of the small theater drama have made a great breakthrough. Among them, the stage acoustics as one of the creative elements is obvious. This article will combine the characteristics of the small theater drama to elaborate the key points of its audio design, the specific situation of the sound system construction and the related matters of sound control. Finally, according to the existing problems in the small theater drama on the market, the development of the stage sound is put forward, and the future development of the theatre stage sound is analyzed.

The stage audio of the small theater includes sound design, sound system building and sound control. The stage sound is designed by the stage sound teacher after reading the script. In order to make the drama achieve some artistic effect, the sound elements of the whole drama, such as music, sound and some language, are created. The sound control is to follow the concept of sound design in the process of performance. The sound design scheme is used on the spot, and the other elements of the drama are used to achieve the artistic effect of the drama. These three parts are closely related, and their orderly coordination can make the stage sound of drama play the best level.

One, design

The prominent feature of the drama in the small theater is a "small" character, which is not merely a small theater drama venue, but also a small performance scale. Generally speaking, the audience capacity of the theater theater is less than 200 people, and only one or two people are at least when the actor is at least. As a "hero behind the curtain", the creation department is also small and fine, so its investment cost is very low. The investment cost is low, the risk is small, and it is easy to stop in time. Most of the small theatrical dramas in the market are invested by private capital and are self financing. These characteristics also directly affect the sound design of small theater drama.

The acoustics design of the combination of presentational and ideographic features, the sound design of drama mainly aims at the design of sound and music, and seldom involves language. The sound of drama is mostly the use of appearance, such as wind, rain, thunder, electricity and other weather phenomena, or some of the sounds in life: doorbell, telephone, toilet and so on. These sound points should match the performers' rhythm and form a tacit agreement with actors. On the contrary, the music of drama is mostly ideographic. It is mainly used to render the plot of the story, to express the inner feelings of the characters, to use the original music to be free in the choice of the length of the music, and to use the copyright music sometimes to make the appropriate editing of the length of the music, and the need for the plot of the plot. In general, small theater plays rarely use original music when designing audio. Most creative teams use existing copyright music to re create. But in China, the protection of intellectual property is not sound, so the copyright of music is not too much paid attention to. It is often the right to use the music, not to consider the copyright issue. This is also a helpless choice for many small theatre drama creations.

The characteristics of the civilian sound design. Another "little" in the drama of a small theater is shown in its small story. It is not as concerned about the macro themes as drama in the theater, but rather focuses on people's livelihood and focuses on the recent hot topics in the society. Many small theatre dramas depict ordinary life and little stories of small people. So its music features are also very popular, with popular style of music, so that it can be better close to the audience and let the audience integrate into the theme of the story at the fastest speed. In addition, the rise of small theatre drama is also due to the development of "experience economy". People enter the theater and devote themselves to the plot of drama. In order to highlight the cordial and popular drama of the small theatre, in addition to increasing the interaction between the actors and the audience and breaking the boundaries between the performance space and the viewing space, some popular sound and music can be selected to accelerate the experience process and enhance the experience and memory of the audience.

In the design of stage acoustics, we need to pay attention to the unity of style in order to make our work coloring and lay the keynote for our work. All kinds of elements may seem rich, but often they seem to be in a chaotic way.

Two. Sound control

The manipulation of stage sound in small theater is an important part of the whole stage, which determines whether the design of the stage sound can achieve the best effect. In the sound control, we should pay attention to the following points:

(1) select a suitable player. The sound engineer should choose a player that is most convenient for him to operate, and familiarity himself with all the functional characteristics of the player, so as to form a kind of performance tacit agreement.

1. the music sound on the player should be arranged according to the order of performance, and this arrangement can not be arbitrarily disrupted. The playback mode of the music sound is best set as "single play" mode, which can avoid the sound that is being played automatically after the playback to the next sound, so that the sound should not be issued at this time.

2. familiar with every shortcut key of the player. In the process of performing, shortcut operation is often more convenient and flexible than using mouse. In particular, familiar shortcuts such as "play" and "pause" should be familiar with. In addition, the performance of the small theater plays is more flexible and bold, and the actors sometimes jump out of the play to communicate with the audience, and the sound division will quickly find the desired sound points based on the performance of the actors.

(two) pay attention to the control of the volume. This is mainly to create a comfortable sound environment and achieve a good performance atmosphere. In the stage sound system of the small theatre drama, the volume is controlled by three levels: the volume of the computer, the volume of the two is the volume of the tone control, the three is the volume of the volume controlled by the amplifier, the volume of the volume of the fixed computer and the volume controlled by the amplifier, and the volume of the mixer in the actual performance. The volume output of the player and the volume output of the total sound card are also balanced inside the computer. The right volume requires the sound engineer to go to the auditorium before performing, and then adjust. Not too loud can result in overload of voice, discomfort of audience, and not too small to affect atmosphere.

Three, despite this, the stage acoustics of the small theater drama still have broad prospects for development.

(1) the healthy development of drama in the small theatre has brought opportunities for the development of stage acoustics. Looking back at the development of drama in the small theatre, its innovative and pioneering spirit has made it unique and recognized by the audience; its popular entertainment and decompression experience won the market, and its vitality even threatens the survival of traditional drama. But the market once lost its connotation and fell into vulgarity. In spite of this, the vulgar smile will only bring aesthetic fatigue. The audience will not indulge in the fast food culture for a long time. In the end, they want to see the connotation of art from this spiritual life and cause the thinking of life. The small theatre drama needs to return to the healthy development. In this way, the creativity of the theatrical play will be continued, and the creation space and ideological connotation of the stage sound will have more opportunities for development and higher artistic value.

(two) drawing lessons from the stage sound concept of foreign theatre, bringing the quality improvement to the development of stage acoustics. Foreign theater theater stage acoustics design system is more complete, especially in the sound system construction, foreign sound design is "local conditions" to create the highest quality sound effects, such as the sound of the sound environment. Some repertoires even provide a surround sound box in the audience's seats, which do not exist in domestic theatrical performances, as in traditional plays, and in small theatre dramas. The audio equipment of the performance team is often provided by the theater, and the quality of the equipment is uneven. This affects the quality of stage acoustics to a certain extent. If the stage acoustics design of the small theater can actively adopt the design concept of "adjusting measures to local conditions", it will bring its development to a new stage. Besides, the encircling sound feast is the trend of future voice replay, so it is worth our expectation.
