Wwise Tour 2016 - Playdead INSIDE (2 of 3) - Voice

Game: Inside Wwise Tour 2016, Warsaw, Poland. Inside by Playdead. Presented by Martin Stig Andersen, Composer & Sound Designer at Playdead and Jakob Schmid, Audio Programmer at Playdead. Wwise by Audiokinetic. https://www.audiokinetic.com/ Schmid presents the “Voice Sequencer” which he scripted in Unity using Wwise’s callbacks that use two modes: Continuous mode Rhythmic Breathing A case study on the character’s breathing is presented by Schmid and Anderson. Conceptually, the idea behind the breathing was that it needed to reflect the character’s exhaustion level, movement, environment and emotions, all while ensuring that utmost realism was maintained no matter how the player chooses to manipulate the character. From a Wwise perspective, they used RTPC curves, Switches, States and Side-chaining to make this system dynamic while remaining natural. Beyond demonstrating how natural the character’s breathing actually sounds, Schmid shares how he took inspiration from DJs and their beat matching techniques and performances. By aligning the frequency and phase of the character’s footsteps and breathing, they would be able to dynamically transform the ambiance of the entire game. Finally, the presentation of the system as implemented in Unity reveals exactly how this was implemented, and it is certainly a source of inspiration for any productions interested in establishing a strong connection between players and characters.

MPSE Sound Advice Creature Vocal Design

"Creature Vocal Design" Many characters in today's films, shows and games are wholly unique in their visual design, and need to sound distinct from creatures in the real world around us. Beasts and monsters from decades past could be covered by a handful of custom sounds, but what about characters who need vocal treatment for an entire script? Let's learn about how these unique voices are brought to life by some of the best sound designers in the games industry: Michael Kent - God of War: Ragnarok, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Beau Jimenez - The Last of Us: Part II, God of War: Ragnarok Jeff Darby - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Death Stranding Ash Read - Horizon: Forbidden West, Returnal

From Immersive soundscapes to Mass battles | Creative Assembly

In this livestream, Creative Assembly’s developers; their Senior Dialogue Engineer - Victoria Prentice, Principal Sound Designer - Jon Newman and Lead Sound Designer - James Magee, will be discussing their approaches to creating immersive soundscapes for mass battles and character-driven dialogue. With the possibility of multiple activities happening on screen, game sound must convey action clearly and in different ways. The interactive nature of gameplay stands it apart from the music and film industries where audio is linear. With games, it is not possible to know exactly what the player will do and where they will go, the audio must account for these complexities, creating sound for different locations, interactions, characters and events. Join CA live as our experts break down their process, the different disciplines within an AAA audio department, key considerations throughout development and the tools and skills required. #CreativeAssembly #TotalWar #AlienIsolation Keep up to date: https://twitter.com/cagames https://en-gb.facebook.com/CreativeAssembly/ Find out more: https://www.creative-assembly.com/ https://www.creative-assembly.com/careers/ -------------------------------------------------------------- "GATHERING THE GREATEST" We gather the greatest talent out there, coming together to craft authentic and detailed experiences of the highest quality.

The Monster Factory - Introduction to Vocal Health and SOVTE with Voice Therapist, Karen Esposito

We decided to partner up with Karen Esposito for this introduction to the voice, vocal health and Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTE) because we believe that proper voice care begins with a proper understanding of the voice and its complex mechanisms. Voice Therapist, Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (SLT), Expert Vocal Coach and Voice Actor, Karen Esposito has over 20 years of experience as a Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) and as an Expert Vocal Coach. In the world of singing and voice acting, we are often exposed to incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information. This is why working with a vocal health specialist is so valuable. At The Monster Factory, we are committed to the vocal health of our vocal stunt performers, and we are committed to sharing valuable information with the voiceover community. We hope you enjoy and share this video.

"Creature Vocal Design" Many characters in today's films, shows and games are wholly unique in their visual design, and need to sound distinct from creatures in the real world around us. Beasts and monsters from decades past could be covered by a handful of custom sounds, but what about characters who need vocal treatment for an entire script? Let's learn about how these unique voices are brought to life by some of the best sound designers in the games industry: Michael Kent - God of War: Ragnarok, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Beau Jimenez - The Last of Us: Part II, God of War: Ragnarok Jeff Darby - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Death Stranding Ash Read - Horizon: Forbidden West, Returnal

Wwise Tour 2016 - Playdead INSIDE (2 of 3) - Voice

Game: Inside Wwise Tour 2016, Warsaw, Poland. Inside by Playdead. Presented by Martin Stig Andersen, Composer & Sound Designer at Playdead and Jakob Schmid, Audio Programmer at Playdead. Wwise by Audiokinetic. https://www.audiokinetic.com/ Schmid presents the “Voice Sequencer” which he scripted in Unity using Wwise’s callbacks that use two modes: Continuous mode Rhythmic Breathing A case study on the character’s breathing is presented by Schmid and Anderson. Conceptually, the idea behind the breathing was that it needed to reflect the character’s exhaustion level, movement, environment and emotions, all while ensuring that utmost realism was maintained no matter how the player chooses to manipulate the character. From a Wwise perspective, they used RTPC curves, Switches, States and Side-chaining to make this system dynamic while remaining natural. Beyond demonstrating how natural the character’s breathing actually sounds, Schmid shares how he took inspiration from DJs and their beat matching techniques and performances. By aligning the frequency and phase of the character’s footsteps and breathing, they would be able to dynamically transform the ambiance of the entire game. Finally, the presentation of the system as implemented in Unity reveals exactly how this was implemented, and it is certainly a source of inspiration for any productions interested in establishing a strong connection between players and characters.

Why we all need subtitles now

It's not you — the dialogue in TV and movies has gotten harder to hear. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Have you ever been watching a show or movie, and then a character delivers a line so unintelligible you have to scramble to find the remote and rewind? For me, this moment came during the climax of the Pete Davidson film “The King of Staten Island,” where his most important line was impossible to understand. I had to rewind three times — and eventually put subtitles on — to finally pick up what he was saying. This experience isn’t unique — gather enough people together and you can generally separate them into two categories: People who use subtitles, and people who don’t. And according to a not-so-scientific YouTube poll we ran on our Community tab, the latter category is an endangered species — 57% of you said you always use subtitles, while just 12% of you said you generally don’t. But why do so many of us feel that we need subtitles to understand the dialogue in the things we watch? The answer to that question is complex – and we get straight to the bottom of it in this explainer, with the help of dialogue editor Austin Olivia Kendrick.

A single line, much like a single picture, can speak volumes. Over the years, there have been many great writers in Hollywood. Likewise, many great films made their way into the zeitgeist and will forever be quoted. To break down the best dialogue in cinema, we will take two different approaches to look at the spoken word. One will focus on the overall dialogue in film. This list will include movies that are driven by their dialogue, whether by nuance or outright ferocity. The other list will focus on one-liners. This list will highlight the moments in film that blow away the viewer with one line of dialogue.

Dutch & German dialogue that sounds like English

Germanic languages share a common ancestor and are closely related. Normally, most of them are different enough that they’re not mutually intelligible. But is it possible to construct “universal” dialogues of Germanic languages that can be mutually understood by various Germanic languages? In this video I constructed an example. You will hear what it sounds like in various Germanic languages, not just in mainstream Germanic languages, but also in lesser known languages like Frisian and Low German. And what would it sound like in their common ancestor language Proto-Germanic? I shall answer that question and also provide a brief historical and linguistic overview of Germanic languages. 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Same dialogue in each major Germanic languages 03:29 Why are they so similar? 04:56 History of Germanic languages 06:29 Low German and Frisian 08:27 How would it sound in Proto-Germanic? 13:16 Icelandic and why the languages evolved the way they did 18:03 French and English Where to leave a tip to support my work: via Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/kingminglam via PayPal: https://paypal.me/kingminglam #linguistics #languages #history
