Drama Lesson: 31 May 2007

Today I had a very successful lesson. Ragnar and Sebastien even decided to help me. We got hold of the “Black Mac” and gained permission to download Audacity. It is an awesome sound editing program that is easy to use and works brilliantly. Next I began editing the SFX I had already acquired from previous lessons. I finished converting the SFX and editing three out of eight that need adjustment. Now that Audacity is available in class as well as my home, I can work constantly and faster. I showed Mr. Sarstedt my nearly complete cue sheet. Hopefully I can finish next class editing and acquiring the needed SFX.

Later the same afternoon Ragnar and I got together and further edited one SFX to make it some like an authentic radio broadcast. I must say that I’m very proud of what we accomplished. At the same time we recorded Ragnar’s sister’s voice for one SFX that included, “Fly sheppie, fly!” As I said before, this was a very successful day with much progress. I learned that small kids need much persuasion to say even the most normal of things into a microphone. The deadline is coming up and I’m still behind schedule, but now that I have Audacity only a few steps away, I should be back on track by the end of next lesson. Now it’s only up to the actors to learn their lines so that lighting and sound can be added. The sound and light aspects will greatly improve the quality of this theatre piece.
