SYNOPSIS
This class is the follow up to Audacity 101. Participants will need to be proficient enough with Audacity to self-produce an audio commercial with voiceover, music and sound effects. The production work will take place in class using materials (script, music and sound effects) provided by the Voiceover Lab. You will need to have Audacity downloaded and operational on your computer to participate in this class, as you will be actively learning to mix various pieces of audio and understand the fundamentals of audio production.. For the inspired, the curious and those that are all about D.I.Y., this class provides the foundation for producing voiceover demos.
This class will be instructed by Mike Varela (Don LaFontaine Voiceover Lab Audio Engineer/Booth Director + Owner of Nuancetone Boutique Audio)
