Excellent Overview of Theatre Sound,
By J Goldsmith "2nd yr. grad student" (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theatre Sound (Theatre Arts (Routledge Paperback)) (Paperback)
John Leonard's Theatre Sound is an excellent read for everyone from the beginner to an advanced sound designer. The refreshing material in his book isn't overloaded with technical jargon, but goes over everything for a full understanding of the subject. It's also loaded with thoughts on theory, from sound effect design to speaker localization. A very good read, and highly recommended!
