\"images1.jpg\"UPDATE 02\/07 – Free Download of Seussical Sound FX<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a list of sound effects I prepared for Seussical the Musical. Most are called for in the score. Some of them are timed with the music so I prefer to have myself or one of the musicians trigger audio fx for the show.<\/p>\n

I use Kontakt by Native Instruments which is a virtual keyboard for computer. I load my sounds into a laptop and program my sound effects across the keyboard – usually layered in sequence for when they occur in the show. Preproduction of audio effects is done on ProTools, where I have full control of high end delays, reverbs and panning. I run sound effects stereo and make sure the sound team is processing my sounds in stereo. I think it’s important to clarify whether you have a stereo setup available at your performance, because it will change how you pre-process your show sounds and foley.<\/p>\n

Subtle sound effects add another subliminal layer of depth for any show presentation, so I encourage you to take the time to create them to the best of your ability. Having the actors do the fx like is “ok”, but take the time to make it super-duper cool.<\/p>\n

SOUND EFFECTS FOR SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL<\/p>\n

Slide Whistle (you’ll get better samples than performing this live)<\/p>\n

YOPP! (Jojo’s yell in Act II – I process multi-tap delay with panning, so it “calls across the universe”)<\/p>\n

Elephant Call<\/p>\n

Egg Hatching<\/p>\n

Explosion<\/p>\n

Water Splash (For the Cat’s sneeze onto the Planet of Who, my own twisted addition)<\/p>\n

ACT II Entracte – Overture clangs and bangs<\/p>\n

Thunderstorm (To add to ACT II melodrama string music)<\/p>\n
