A phone message for Henry Bemis

So I decided to leave a phone message for Henry Bemis form the Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough at Last”. You can watch that here. It would ruin to the plot to tell you why the message im leaving Henry Bemis this message. The message itself could also be considered a spoiler of the plot so you are all warned. Here is the message

So what do you guys think? To make this I used my mother’s mac again so I could use garage band. Since I used a PC i can’t use that on my computer. I got the sounds from a few places. First the phone ringing sound came from my Iphone ring tone file. It was one of  the default ring tones on the Iphone 4. The Twilight intro sounds and the intro voice came from this youtube video

The rest of the speaking was just me. While it might sound like I was using some sort of filter for the “please leave a message part”, that was just me talking in a funny voice.

I am find garage band useful for stringing a few different audio files together. While I have’t really being using to edit the sound itself, when i want to add multiple sound file together garage band is really useful. I would recommend it to anyone that needs to do  basic song editing.

 

So what do you guys think about the phone message? I think it turned out really good. I hope Henry is able to pay for the order. He deserves a break. I also wonder how the phones are still up after the nuclear war????? that is the real question here.

Playing Catch Up: Audio Assignments – 10 Stars

It has been a very chaotic semester so far. Taking two math classes, working and other personal business. This Post is all about the previous audio work which was to pick assignments that add up to 10 stars. Here they are (I had fun with them actually) I chose these assignments because they seem fun [...]

XOXO

I have rekindled my love for Gossip Girl. (Thank God for Netflix!!)

I came across this 3-star assignment for “Movie Voice Machines” where you pick a movie/tv character and create their voicemail message.

Since I may or may not have watched 4 episodes of Gossip Girl today, I decided I would pick a character from the show. I think, for anyone that watches the show, we all love the line “xoxo, Gossip Girl,” or maybe it’s just me. Either way, I decided I’d do the voicemail for the infamous  ”Gossip Girl.”

I recorded my voice in Audacity and then downloaded the Gossip Girl theme song from Youtube. After importing it into Audacity, I cut the parts I wanted and layered them in to audacity. Ta da! You know have a voicemail message for Gossip Girl!

Anime Voice Machice

I create a voice mail machine from the anime “A Little Snow Fairy Sugar”. It is literally saying “Yahoo! This is Sugar! Sorry, I’m out right now. After the sound of the piccolo, leave your message and I might get back to you later! So, get to it!”.

Movie Voice Machine – Arnold

For this assignment we had to create a voicemail for a celebrity. This assignment is found in the Audio Assignments for the ds106 site. I chose to impersonate Arnold Schwarzenegger as my celeb and honestly it was difficult to not sound caribbean although his Austrian accent resembles it. It was quite interesting though I added a little comic relief to it.

Keanu Reeves Voicemail

Here is my best attempt at Keanu Reeves Voicemail. I just used the soundcloud app on my phone to record it. Still need to get used to hearing my voice recorded

Celebs and their answering machines.

Movie Voice Machines  was about recording a voice mail message for a character in a film or tv show. Use samples, impressions, and/or music to create your message.

I chose a couple of celebrities and basically recorded my voice on soundcloud. Please do not make fun of my singing i was just trying to be humerous. i hope you enjoy my humor.
