Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The fifth edition of Sound and Music for the Theatre traces the process of how to build a sound design to support a theatrical production, from initial concept through implementation in actual performances.
The book discusses the early evolution of sound design and how it supports the play, from researching sources for music and effects to negotiating a contract. It explores how to organize the construction of the sound design elements, how the designer functions in a rehearsal, and how to set up and train an operator to run sound equipment. This instructive information is interspersed with ?war stories? describing real-life problems with solutions that readers can apply in their own work, whether they are a sound designer, composer, or sound operator. Also featured are numerous roundtable forums offering insights from theatre luminaries across all aspects of theatrical production. New updates to this edition include:
- Insights from Sir Patrick Stewart, Alan Cumming, and Lillias White, among others
- Inspiring content in the roundtable discussion ?A Sense of Sound: An Actors? and Educators? Forum?
- Updates to paperwork and checklists to reflect modern equipment
- Thorough revisions for advancements in technology and procedures
Sound and Music for the Theatre has been the definitive text for sound designers for over three decades, whether they are professionals, students, or enthusiasts. It is essential reading for sound designers and others in the theatre who want a deeper understanding of the craft.
?James LeBrecht and Deena Kaye have written the most practical, broad-minded, useful book on sound in the theatre that has, to my knowledge, ever been published in English .... It is a book that every sound designer needs to have; it is a book that every theatre person would enjoy and profit from.?
Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director for the Public Theatre
