Benjamin Birney created a script for a voice acting experiment, labeling different character lines with colors. He then recorded his friends reading the script onto his phone. Benjamin downloaded sound effects and compiled the audio files and music tracks into Premiere Pro, arranging them throughout the beginning, middle, and end of the project. Finally, he exported the audio file and saved it to his reflective diary.

2. Process
My first step was coming up
with a script for the voice
actors to read off of. What
you see to the left is a rough
draft of the start of my script
for my trailer experiment,
thanks to Word document I
will be able to get to work in
making a clear and
understandable script for me
and my friends to read off of.

3. Process
After a bit of time and
effort I finally got a
complete draft of my
trailer script for my friends
and I to read off. I labeled
the different voice lines in
various colours to help tell
the differences between
the characters that me and
friends acted out.

4. Process
Once the script was complete
my friends and I recorded our
lines on to my phone, I then
sent them to a specific folder
that was made for the
experiment. After that I
downloaded some sound
effects to go along with the
voice lines, then I placed
them into Premiere Pro so I
could compile them into
making the trailer/radio
advert. There were some
music in the sound track I had
to put effects onto like fading
and transitioning audio.

5. Process
Finally once all the sound effect,
voice lines and music sound tracks
were on Premiere Pro I arranged
them in the right places from
beginning, middle and ending. Then
when It was complete I downloaded
it as an audio file and also saved it
into my reflective diary.

6. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
‒ One element I will include is a series of scripts for the planned episodes
so my voice actors will be able to read off of so they at least have some
direction to follow.
‒ Another element I will include will be the use of audio transitions and
fades for my sound effects and sound tracks. It would help give the
episodes more flare and be good way to change to and from different
scenes and settings.
