USING SOUND EFFICIENT
Find the sound on YouTube, Extract the part you want, put it in the right time, and then it's over! Right?
Well what I learned says the contrary and here is why!
One of my favorite things to do when it comes to sound is to manipulate it. I used to rely on pre-made sounds since they're cheaper and quicker, and sometimes they produce good results. However, in some cases, the pre-made sounds just aren't enough. That's why on my recent projects, I've been using multiple layers of sound. Some of the layers are so subtle that you can't even recognize the sound, but you can definitely feel it.
I'm more familiar with Adobe Premiere than Audition, so I tend to use Premiere for sound editing. In Premiere, I like to play around with effects such as echo and pitch manipulation. I also adjust the speed of the sound sequence to better match my video and give it a unique sound. The speed at which I can produce these sounds is awesome. However, since these tools are accessible to everyone, it's important to use them in a way that makes you stand out and gives your work a unique sound.
If your phone's microphone is of poor quality, you can skip this part. However, most phone microphones nowadays produce acceptable sound quality, so you can easily record some voices using your phone. Sometimes, this works perfectly fine and you can just apply some Premiere effects to it and you're good to go. However, if you want to create monster voices, rain sounds, or anything else that you don't have access to, then it's time to get creative.
You can improvise, just like the old men in Disney did. Try experimenting with different objects to create unique sounds. For example, you can use a comb to create the sound of rain, or a balloon to create the sound of a monster. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and try new things. With a little creativity, you can produce some amazing sounds that will make your project stand out.
