For the FINAL PROJECT you must record at least some original dialog, monologue or voice-over. (this can not be taken from the Internet) This can be one of your team members voices, the voice of a friend(s) or amateur voice actor(s). Moreover the talent/ability level of the voice acting is not important. What is important is how you use the VISUAL and STORY elements in relation to the voice(s). One of your team members will be responsible for directing the voice acting.

All care should be taken to create technically good quality recordings, yet you will not be graded based on technical perfection of sound.

You may use "Garage Band", or many other free and available audio wavrecorders. If you do not have access to a microphone, you can purchase an inexpensive yet effective microphone anywhere from $3-4 to $16: here

NEW: We have a new microphone in room FA307 that you can check out and use in the room.

How much your spend is up to you, but you will do just fine with an under 16 dollar microphone for this project. If you want to invest in a good mic, that is up to you.

Here is more info on recording:

software you can use:

-"Garage Band" provided in both 225 and 226, or your own at home (if you have a Mac, it should come free)

-Or download free wav recorder software if you have your own computer:

for Windows:

http://www.fileguru.com/apps/free_wav_recorder_mac

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about

for Mac:

http://www.nch.com.au/software/mac.html

or you can Google "free wav recorders"

again, most Mac's already have "Garage Band"

The microphone you choose should have a "mini" jack, but if it has a "phone jack/quarter inch jack" you can buy an adapter that goes to "mini" (inexpensive)
