Hell-ooo. Welp, I normally don’t do this kind of thing, but I’m in kind of an annoying position. I was recently assigned a project in my Sound Communications class that’s due this Thursday. I’m supposed to record eight people (4 male, 4 female) to read sentences from a book so I can edit them into the same track and alternate between male and female voices.
I’m supposed to reserve recording equipment from the RTF room, but you have to do it 48 hours in advance, which I have to do tomorrow (Monday) so by the time I get the equipment out, I’m not going to have it for very long before the project itself is due. I think under the circumstances I can get a few male voices, maybe one female voice, but as for filling the 8 people quota, that’s not going to be so easy.
I can’t do man-on-the-street recordings, ‘cause we’re not supposed to have a lot of ambient wind/car noises in the background, and anyway I don’t know how you’d ask strangers to read to you. We’re going to do man-on-the-street recordings later in the semester, but that’s completely different from this assignment.
So what I’m asking is, if you have a mic, and could spare a few minutes sometime between now and Thursday, if you could possibly record yourself reading a measly 3 sentences from ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ and send them my way (I don’t care how, though mediafire would be nice), I’d love you long time. I think I need maybe one or two guys and two or three gals.
Since the voices alternate, I’m going to start off with one male voice, then go to a female voice, then to another male voice, then I’ll need another female voice to read:
It’s sort of a … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well, I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach.
Good.
Oooh, it’s getting quite strong.
Then a male voice for:
And hey, what about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head?
Perhaps I can call that … wind!
Is that a good name?
Female:
It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for.
It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it.
Hey, what’s this thing?
Male:
This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail.
Hey, I can really thrash it about good, can’t I?
Wow, that feels great!
Female:
Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on.
Now, have I built up any coherent picture of things yet?
No.
That last voice would be number 8. Ideally if you sent me something you could post about it in this thread right away, so two people don’t record the same thing.
So if you could that’d be swell, if not and you think I’m a looney (I am, but that’s another story
) or needy or have fleas or something, please ignore me.
