ABSTRACT

With the proliferation of mobile media, games, and mobile development, the use of audio has become much more optional for certain types of formatting. And in some cases, such as the podcast, it is often the only form of media. So it is very important to know where to put the sound and where not to put the sound. When working with audio, there are multiple types and purposes that one can have. The human voice is an incredibly complex sound generator. Sound effects are sounds that represent or re-create actual physical phenomena. The ambient sound, or manipulation of that sound, will clue the listeners in to when to begin feeling tension or when to be relaxed. Sound, structured over time, is equal to music. Rhythm really consists of the interval between the sounds. Voicing can affect the general emotional response of the audience just as much as the tempo and rhythm.
