Module 4
Audio Narration
I recreated a scene that involves giving my dog a treat. I used Garage Band to record several tracks along the recording continuum. First I recorded the narration script. Then I listened and and recorded different tracks of sound effects as the narration progressed. I made a script that listed the sound effects I planned to interject at key points in the narration. Some of the effects, like my dogs claws hitting the floor, proved impossible to record from my dog, so I had to improvise with objects I had until I recreated the similar sound. I do have a son named Kyle who does play the guitar, but the guitar you hear at the end is a loop that I used from Garage Band. When he was a kid, I often had to "shush" him so his dad and baby brother could nap. In the end, I had a lot of fun doing this! It only took a 2 minute tutorial to show me the basics of what to do. Otherwise, it was fairly intuitive. I would recommend Garage Band to record audio. I emailed the file to my GMail and saved it to my Google Drive. I hope you enjoy!
