Lab 6 – Character Voiceover
Due: Wednesday, June 18th

Animation & Motion Theory

In this assignment you will make a character speak a short one sentence phrase. It must have a minimum of four words in the sentence.

Begin by creating a character head. Then create the mouth movements for the basic vowels and consonants. Look at the examples on the class blog for assistance.

Record your sentence, you may can use a microphone, webcam with Adobe Audition or Audacity. You can also use voice recording apps on your smart phone to do this as well. Make sure there is no background sound or music in your recording. This is important so it will not interfere with our exposure sheet.

Open the sound file into Adobe Audition or Audacity to do any minor editing or tweaking. Use audition to set the phrase into frames.

Use this as a base to create an exposure sheet to layout the mouth sound to the frame position. This can be done on a piece of lined notebook paper. Note the example on the class blog.

Use the exposure sheet to layout the voice over of the character.
