Tutorials: Emotions Through Sound

For this assignment the main focus is audio and putting sounds together to send a particular message.  For this assignment I used audacity and a website called freesound.org as the main source for all of the sound effects used.

In audacity each sound will be open as a new sound track, when opening the first track you’ll want to important the main sound you want. You have two options, you can either have all four playing at the same time or mix/match and make them play on the same track.

 

Emotions Through Sound

Try to convey a certain emotion, such as fear, stress, sadness, etc. by combing sound effects. They can be human sounds, such as crying with laughter in the background, to maybe express someone’s fears or being embarrassed, or you can get really artsy and try to convey an emotion by sound effects– like loud noises to show intensity, thunder to show fear, or quick, chirpy noises to show happiness. Edit at least 4 sounds together to show an emotion, upload it to soundcloud and then tag it with the appropriate tags.
