Narrator Research

Hi, kiddies
As you know i wrote the poem,

Here is the previous post containing the poem if you have not seen it before

i decided to further develop this idea beyond a research level so i got my mum, dad , brother and sister to dictate the poem into a dictophone and i am converting this to a .wav sound file so i can upload it to the blog.
i used imeem to add it too the blog it was reasonably long winded to set up but worth it in the end here is the poem. the people reading it goes in the order of:

1.My Dad (00.00-01.03)
2.My Mum (01.03-02.09)
3.My Brother (02.09-03.07)
4.My Sister (03.07-04.05)


Media Narration.wav - lcmedia

i did this to compare and contrast the different voices and how it can change the mood of the film. for example when you listen to my sister say it, it has more denotations of an abused child rather than a vigrant.

my brother, who is 22, read it most like i wrote and i think this is the most emotive due to how you can relate to his voice, and portrays him to be younger and therefore more, helpless and it also adds to the build of sound that will hopefully achieve a climax within our film.

my dad reads it like a teacher and more cold emotions, so i find it harder to relate to, and my mum reads it like shes reading it too a 5 year old!

i also added another section to the end of the poem that goes:

i was once like you,
a passive observer,
a city commuter,
ignoring...
and walking...

Am i human too you?

I will try to upload the sound file as soon as i can he should be emailing it to me today soo....

Cheerio, Theodore x

Theo, this might need sound clouding as the link is 30 secs and even then it doesn't play.
