  • Interpreting in the Zone

    Interpreting in the Zone

    3 The Interpreter in the Zone (and Other Zones) Interpreting requires a high degree of concentration and engagement in the moment, and the results of the two studies indicate that this type of intense attention can lead to an in-the-zone experience. As introduced in Chapter 1, being “in the zone” is an exhilarating experience in which people are completely absorbed in what they are doing and are perform- ing at their best. Their skills and judgment rise to the challenges before them, and they experience a state of euphoria. Being in the Zone Professionals, artists, performers, athletes, and others report having in- the-zone (flow) experiences. Csikszentmihalyi1 clarifies what allows for this type of experience to occur by explaining, The optimal state of inner experience . [is one] in which there is order to consciousness. This happens when psychic energy—or attention—is invested in realistic goals, and when skills match the opportunities for action. The pursuit of a goal brings order in awareness because a person must concen- trate attention on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else. These periods of struggling to overcome challenges are what people find to be the most enjoyable times of their lives.2 In-the-zone experiences are characterized by intense attention and the suc- cessful application of skills, expertise, and decision-making, which allow one to overcome challenges and to feel good about that accomplishment. Csikszentmihalyi explains that there are three primary characteristics of flow: the complexity of the experience, the pleasure of the experience, and its contribution to one’s ability to grow and develop.

    Article Summary: "Mostly Data: How Low Can You Go?" by Stephen St

    Trevor de Clercq Digital Audio Processing II March 9th, 1999 E85.2601, Prof. K. Peacock Article Summary: "Mostly Data: How Low Can You Go?" by Stephen St. Croix (Mix, March 1999, pgs. 20-24+) Stephen St. Croix is a fixture to Mix Magazine and its readers. His monthly columns (“The Fast Lane”) are both irreverent and insightful. This month, he chose to devote his whole article to the topic of the MiniDisc. I thought this topic was rather interesting since the MiniDisc players are rather affordable (compared to a portable DAT player) for in-the field recording. My brother the French Horn player, for example, has forsaken his high-fidelity stereo cassette recorder and the four-track I gave him for his birthday in exchange for making all of his live recordings with MiniDisc. The question remains: does it really sound any good? In the beginning of this article, St. Croix reveals a little history of Sony’s product. Indeed, when the MiniDisc was first released, the sound quality was abominable. In fact, the sound quality was worse than most comparably priced portable recorders (even just a plain old cassette walkman). At this point in the marketing scheme, it was very curious why Sony had released such a product—a product whose very “lossy” compression algorithms were not only lossy, but bad lossy. The good news is that Sony has refined and perfected these compression techniques. We’ve all heard about psychoacoustics and masking, but the MiniDisc proves that these theories can be implemented in both successful and unsuccessful ways.
  • Definition of Pantomime: ​A Theatrical Entertainment, Mainly for Children

    Definition of Pantomime: ​A Theatrical Entertainment, Mainly for Children

    Definition of Pantomime: A theatrical entertainment, mainly for children, which involves music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy and is ​ based on a fairy tale or nursery story, usually produced around Christmas. A typical Pantomime storyline: Normally, a pantomime is an adapted fairytale so it is usually a magical love story which involves something ​ going wrong (usually the fault of an evil baddy) but the ending (often after a fight between good and evil) is always happy and results in true love. Key characters in Pantomime: The female love interest, e.g Snow White, Cinderella etc The Handsome Prince e.g Prince Charming The evil character e.g the evil Queen in Snow White The faithful sidekick - e.g Buttons in Cinderella The Pantomime Dame - provides most of the comedy - an exaggerated female, always played by a man for laughs How to act in a pantomime style: 1. Your character is an over-the-top type’, not a real person, so exaggerate as much as you can, in gesture, voice and movement 2. Speak to the audience - if you are a ‘Goody’, your character must be likeable or funny. If you are a ‘Baddy’, insult your audience, make them dislike you from the start. 3. There is always a narrator - make sure she knows speaks confidently and knows the story well. 4. Encourage the audience to be involved by asking for the audience’s help, e.g “If you see that naughty boy will you tell me?” 5. If you are playing that ‘naughty boy’, make eye contact with the audience and creep on stage.
