What effect did the Elizabethan age affected shakespeare?
If it hadn't been for the Elizabethan Age, Shakespeare would have lived most of his life in a timeless limbo. If the years 1558 to 1603 hadn't existed, Shakespeare would have appeared in the Jacobean Age at the age of 39 already, with only 13 years of his life left to live.
How did the Globe Theatre effect the life of Shakespeare?
Not much. It was a newer, nicer theatre than the Curtain, but basically the same layout. Shakespeare had a small share in the Globe which probably earned him some extra cash, but that's all. Apparently Shakespeare moved for a while to Southwark to be nearer to work, but he ended up moving back to London after a bit.
Was the scenery of Shakespeare's plays visual?
In most of the original Elizabethan productions of Shakespeare's plays, there was very minimal scenery. Aspects such as time and location were largely supplied by the actors' dialogue (i.e., "This castle hath a pleasant seat"; "Methinks something's rotten in the state of Denmark!"). The appearances of the surroundings of the characters were largely left to the audience's imagination. Stages such as that at the Globe Theatre did, however, have a trapdoor, and also a cannon placed above the stage that could be fired for theatrical effect.
Did Hamnet's death effect Shakespeare's career?
Hamnet was Shakespeare's son, and it affected Shakespeare financially, although I'm not exactly sure how. William Shakespeare was terrified of the plague because he lost a lot of his brothers and sisters to it during the first major outbreak of the Bubonic plague. This is what Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, died from, so you can imagine his devastation. Also...affect with an 'a' is a verb, effect with an 'e' is a noun. (Cause and effect, This affects that)
How were sound effects made in Shakespeare's time?

What did the audience think of the tempest?
The Elizabethan Audience were thrilled over the performance of 'The Tempest by William Shakespeare'. It was one of their favourite plays from William Shakespeare as they believed in magic, ghosts, spirits and all magical fantasies, which 'The Tempest' has got included into it.

What did William Shakespeare do for the English language?
The very first English tragedy was Norton and Sackville's Gorboduc, probably written around 1562 (two years before Shakespeare was born).Theatre as we know it did not exist before Shakespeare's time. There were Miracle Plays, Mystery Plays, and Mummer shows - but these were amateur perfomances with very simple stories which were usually performed connected with a religious festival. They were more like a Christmas pantomime at the Church Hall than like a modern play.Commercial Theatre - professional actors producing plays for entertainment, and people paying money to see them - only began while Shakespeare was growing up. The earliest playhouse of which we have record was the Bull Inn (mentioned by Richard Flecknoe in his Short Discourse of the English Stage) which only began to offer real plays 'about the begining of Queen Elizabeth's reign' (ie 1558).So when Shakespeare first arrived in London in the 1580's theatre was a new entertainment medium. It was very unpopular with the forces of social conservatism (including much of the aristocracy and almost all religious fundamentalists) since it enabled the ordinary people who became actors sometimes to become very rich. (Actors were called masterless men. The idea that someone could make money without either being born rich, or training in an established profession, was new and scandalous in Elizabethan society). Theatre was also unpopular with the upper classes because it was an entertainment medium which ordinary working people could afford.The company that Shakespeare joined - James Burbage' The Lord Chamberlains Men - had the first custom-built playhouse in the world. Burbage built it himself (Burbage was a builder before he became involved with drama) and when it opened (sometime around 1577) there was no name for such a place - there had never been one before. Burbage invented a name: he called it The Theatre.Over the next sixty years (until in 1642 the religious fundamentalists had their way and closed all the theatres down) theatre became the first commercial entertainment medium in the world. Almost any working person could afford to go to the theatre (at least occasionally), and - because theatre was performed by masterless men, who had no special interest in protecting the existing class-system or the existing church - theatre plays could discuss social issues (Othello), sexual morality (Much Ado about Nothing), modern fashion (As You Like It). The theatre could also teach history (the Henry VI plays) or indirectly discuss contemporary political crises (Richard II is a historical play, but the issues it deals with were acutely relevant during the period it was written). A little after Shakespeare's time there were even plays about current affairs (Thomas Middleton's Game at Chess, or A Chaste Maid in Cheapside).The Elizabethan theatre was the world's first commercial entertainment medium, and in Elizabethan society it did the work that is now done by Television, Cinema, Rock Music, political rallies, and even newspapers.Shakespeare wasn't the only Elizabethan dramatist. Christopher Marlowe, John Webster, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton, Thomas Decker are all also important. But Shakespeare was the best - and Elizabethan drama was certainly the begining of the modern entertainment industry, and in an important sense it was also the begining of the modern world.
How were sound effects made in Shakespeare's time?
They could only be made by acoustic means. A cannon was a sound effect in Henry VIII (there was probably one in Hamlet also). It was a cannon used in a performance of Henry VIII which burned down the first Globe Theatre.
