After experimenting and playing around with natural sound and my voice, next up was an introduction into the world of sound effects. These effects are all around us when it comes to entertainment. What really surprised me about sound effects was that some of the most noticeable and recognized effects were made by using materials that everyone has in their home.
After gathering all the necessary effects for my advertisement, next came the question of what it is I'll be advertising. After a while, I decided to cross the project with my radio show endeavor and create an ad for my show "The Sports Zone with Spencer Pascuzzi." In doing so, I felt that I was able to put more effort into the project because I wanted to create the perfect ad for my show. After recording my voice, in came the effects. I decided to put the song I would use for my intro to the show as a music bed to give the listener something to recognize when they tune in. I also used such sounds as phones ringing when I talked about people calling in and a gulping sound when I invited people to disagree with me.
The sound effects that I used for this project greatly added an entertainment value as well as credibility to my ad. Its funny how little soundbites, some of them only a second long, can add so much to an audio track when they are used correctly.
