P4 Audio: Accident

Back in December 2021, I got hit by a car crossing the street in Downtown Eugene. I was all dressed up walking to my new friends apartment because we had a work formal that we were going to all go together. I was one street away when I was crossing the street and a car turning didn’t see me and hit me with their car. It is crazy to me because I was so excited to go to this formal and to think I wouldn’t go because I was in an accident is insane. I am fortunate enough to have survived but it was a bummer not being able to go. I told all my coworkers that I had a family emergency and that’s why I couldn’t make it that night. It wasn’t until the day after that I had to tell them because I needed my shifts covered(haha). Anyway, I just wanted to recreate my thought process and how it happened to help process things. I still have not gotten over what happened and it still affects me to this day, but I feel like I understand now more than ever that it has in fact affected me and why.

P4 Audio

In this audio, I was trying to get a simple soothing bedtime story. I had a lot of trouble with audible and had to use a lot of different systems to get it to work. I wanted some calm music for the background and I think it is pretty good. I could not get any sound effects I wanted. This was my first time working with audio and I learned a lot of new things and found out some ideas for the next time I will be using audio. It took me about six hours to edit all of it. I could not find a good website that had all the things I needed but I still think I did well. Also at the end, the sound gets really loud. I tried to fix it but could not find out how. 

Audio Project

Doing this audio project was very much a step out of my comfort zone. I have never attempted to make a project completely audio-based because I don’t have any experience in it. Although it was new, it was really fun voice-acting and editing the audio to make it sound the way that it is now. Now that I have the proper tools and experience, I might just do more of this and make my own podcast. 

This story is about a fallen angel who has gotten amnesia upon arriving on Earth. He meets a complete stranger who takes him inside the nearest bar, and it just so happens that this bar is filled to the brim with life-ruining vampires. There is more to this bone-chilling story than a man tortured by immortality. Farther along in this tale, he finds love, gains power, and gets revenge on the people who turned him.

This is a completely original project, solely written by me. I wrote this story before this class and it was way more graphic than it is now. If you are interested in the rest of this tale, please ask. I would love to tell you about it even though it is still in the works!

P4

by Lemoni Genosar

In this process, I used the snowball mic for the first time. It was very simple to use n audition and it gave me some great clear audio. I wish I could’ve read the whole story, but I reached 3:00 minutes at about half way through. I used a denoise filter and a dynamic processor to make the voiceover clear. I couldn’t really think of a fitting sound affect, but I found that fun background song. I honestly think it’s better without it.

P4: Audio_”Soul”

“Soul” is movie of Disney and Pixar, talking about Joe is a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn’t quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz — and he’s good. But when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul. I picked this scene because The Great Before (also known as the You Seminar for rebranding purposes by the Abstract Souls) is a location featured in Disney/Pixar’s 2020 animated feature film Soul as the pre-existence place of life where new born souls get their personalities, quirks, and interests before going to the Earth, it makes me feel interesting about the world that I’ve never know about it.

I did the sounds and foley the sound effects (SFX) with my friend by using Diamond room in Building 18. We spent 2-3 hours to recording the dialog and SFX. To be honest, it was tired but I had fun to work on doing Audio production, I can know more about this field. I used ProTools for recording this sound and edit in the studio but when I got home, I felt the sounds just too left and too right, so I used Adobe Audition to make the sounds more balance itself. I hope you’re enjoying this short audio.

P4 Interview -Violet

(hopefully the link works)

In this interview, I sat down with Gerald the Giraffe (played by my dad, “Dad” the Human) to talk about his daily life as a giraffe. It was an opportunity I was very lucky to have, it’s not everyday that you get to talk to a creature with such a tall, spotted neck. 

You may start out like me before I had the honor of hosting this interview, clueless about how a giraffe would spend his day. If that sounds like you, then, come with me as I learn about his disdain for the birds that nest in the branches he plucks the leaves from, what in the world an ossicone is, and how to really appreciate the beauty of standing quietly in a plateau for hours. This interview is there for everyone with a thirst for knowledge of what it really means to be a giraffe.

This assignment was very entertaining to work on! I originally ended up with around 30 minutes of audio of my father and I just goofing around, so I really had to prune through that to get the final product. I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed making and editing it.
