Sound Design #1 - Ambient Vocal Soundscapes (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Welcome to the first of my series on Sound Design! We will focus on music, ambient textures, and sound effects used in filmmaking. In Part 1, we cover how to create ambient soundscapes from human voices. These soundscapes are great for use in film, as prominently featured in the 2012 Dredd during slow motion sequences, or as stand-alone music pieces.

Create a sound- it could be as simple as singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star into your phone- and run it through Paul Stretch.
When you get a sound you like, export it as an MP3 and post to Dropbox, Soundcloud, Youtube or any other favorite file hosting site. Post this link to the project page and share your ambient soundscape!
