Sound In The Story

Audio (and video) is different from print and photography in that it is Linear, not spatial.

When you are recording “Wild sounds,” you are essentially getting the audio equivalent of candid
photography.

Silence = reflection

ambient sound is valuable for setting a scene when it’s interesting, and it’s useful for editing purposes even when it’s not.

A good script is well-written for the ear, not the eye.

The best way to learn to write is to read and the best way to learn audio is to listen.

Turning Heads

I am told all the time from different people who listen to me that they would have never expected THAT to come from me. Once I turn off my mind and let my mouth free, letting whatever comes to my mouth roll out and form something that gets everyone’s heads and shoulders moving to the sound of my "music". Not thinking and just doing. The reactions that I’ll get are all different . . . but yet all the same. With people’s eyes and jaws left wide open . . . and occasionally I’ll get the few droolers. But despite the reactions I get I’m doing something that I love doing, something that I have worked at and have practiced for soo long. Throughout the years I have been beatboxing it has been fun for myself to see how far I have improved from where I started and to what motivated me to do what I do now.
