We had to complete five stars worth of assignments from the audio assignment bank this week.  The first one I chose, a one-star assignment, was to make weather noises with my mouth and objects around me.

I did these after completing the bumper and the commercial, so I was pretty familiar with finding audio clips to use.  It honestly took me a really long time to figure out how to make any noises at all for weather with my own mouth.  I was determined to make rain and thunder work, but I couldn’t pull it off no matter how I tried. It just sounded like clicking and thumping.

I decided to do a search on YouTube of some basic weather sounds and see if any of them sounded doable.  I settled on wind.  There is an added echo or something about half way through that makes it sound a bit more realistic, but I have absolutely no clue how I made that happen.
