Audio Editing Exercise 1
For project 1, we need to do an audio editing exercise. We were given a muted video clip and a script, since there is no audio we need to do a voice-over and find suitable sound effects and ambiance for the video clip. The goal for this week is to put everything together in Adobe Premiere Pro first and after that, we will continue later on when we learn the advanced skills.

We learned how to change voices so now it's time to revise the first draft. Below is my final.

- Ambience sound too quiet for begining 20 seconds.
Audio Editing Exercise 2
- Stadium too flat, should be echoey.
REFLECTION
Audio Editing Exercise 1
When doing the voice-over, honestly I was very embarrassed. I'm not used to hearing my own voice and I can't really express words if it is intentional, so the voice-over was kinda monotone, I guess. However, because of this I know that being a voice actor is not an easy job, lip sync is actually very very hard especially for me, since I'm not an English native speaker. The characters in the video talk so fast, I can't really keep up. But, it's been a nice experience for me.
Audio Editing Exercise 2
During this exercise, I had a lot of fun changing the voices in different situations. Although I must admit that I struggled when doing the voice for a stadium. The reason is that I've never been to a stadium before, so I don't know how it sounds. As a result, I needed to change it as the feedback was given to me.
Audio Editing Exercise 2
Just like exercise 2, I also had a lot of fun, the difference is that I didn't struggle to figure out how the voices should turn out, especially the monster voice because I think that everyone has a different perspective of how monsters should sound like.
