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, where you will be actively learning to mix various pieces of audio and understand the fundamentals of audio production for voiceover and for other uses of audio..  

This class will be instructed by Mike Varela (Don LaFontaine Voiceover Lab Audio Engineer/Booth Director + Owner of Nuancetone Boutique Audio)


REQUIREMENTS

This class is virtual using Zoom.

This is not an Audacity beginner class.  However, if you do not have the recommended level of experience using Audacity software, but would like to audit (attend class as a viewer that can ask questions), email vol@sagftra.foundation and request to be an auditor.

This is a skill building, interactive and hands on class. Completion of Audacity 101 at the DLF VO Lab OR experience using Audacity or other audio recording software/DAWS is required.  Prospective participants (those on the Waitlist, as well) may be emailed additional questions to help us verify your knowledge of Audacity.  

Participants must be proficient using Audacity software for recording and editing audio.

Have Audacity downloaded onto your laptop computer and operating properly.

Copy will be provided by the Voiceover Lab and emailed the day before the class, so actors can prepare the material they will be reading.

Participants must be present for the entire program (see Duration above).
