Answer to Question 1

Theatre has always been attentive to sound, with audibility always a central concern. For example, ancient Greek theatres were built into hillsides, which provided them with exceptional acoustics. Ancient Greek and Roman actors had wide mouthpieces in their masks that functioned as megaphones. The Romans built a shallow roof over the stage and placed large shallow basins around the playing area to help in vocal projection and amplification. Even in ancient times, sound effects played an important role in the theatre. The Romans created the sound of thunder by pouring stones into copper jars, while the Elizabethans and their successors achieved a thunder effect by shaking sheets of metal or rolling heavy balls down a machine with wooden channel. In the early twentieth century, Stanislavski included everyday soundsbarking dogs, croaking frogs, and clattering dishesin his productions as a vehicle of stage realism.

Answer to Question 2

True
