Week 7 – More Narration

As the Easter break is coming up I thought it was best to bring Oliver Dyson back into the studio and record the narration for the two other people that my project will in centre around. These two individuals are George Lincoln Rockwell and Martin Luther King, Jr. It made sense to get all the narration recorded before Oliver went home for Easter as it would mean that all that was left to do in the upcoming weeks is music and editing before the final mixing and mastering stages. Before Oliver came to the sound theatre to record, I once again wrote a script for the Rockwell and King pieces which was based on research I had found using the university library and various sources on the internet. The recording situtaion and setup was exactly the same as before as I wanted the same sound and feel to the recording so it would flow throughout my whole soundscape.

There were no problems during the recording session and I got enough takes of the narration to cover me incase there were any problems at a later date. After the session I thanked him for his time and agreed to send him a copy of my soundscape once it had been completed and handed-in. Week 8 will involve composing music for the first two movements and this will then give me a good idea of how the project is coming on in regards to the timescale. With music behind my narration and samples I will be able to get a vision of how the final product may sound when it is completed. I was very happy with the tone of Oliver’s voice in the narration and I feel it went perfectly with my audio samples.
