Workshop on vocal prototyping
Vocal prototyping is a quick (aka "dirty") prototyping technique for sound design. It is especially useful for development in teams mixing participants from different backgrounds. I’ve used it for game sound design, some other concept work and early development of interactive applications. Now it was time to introduce the technique to our students in Sonic Interaction Design.
Here are the slides from the first vocal prototyping workshop I had this week. The schedule was really tight, as there was only time to do a 1 hour session. The results were great, though. After a short warm-up with onomatopoetic words, our students did a tremendous job sonifying fantastic machines that turned sawdust into living creatures. You wouldn’t believe the noise they made!
