For the first audio project I have ever worked on, I choose to tell a story about Vikings walking into battle, with a twist at the end. This was an excellent assignment to start on because the project could not be more than 90 seconds and consisted of only sound effects.

I used Freesound to find and download all of the sound files I used for this project and the other two that I have done (even though this was my first project, I’m writing the blog post on it last. IDK). This site is freaking amazing, and the sound is pretty good quality. This site is a gold mine for sound effects and background noises.

This project took about two hours, not including the hour I spent on Freesound. I used the software program, Audacity. Even the most basic editing program is hard to navigate if you have never worked with sound editing before. So I had to play around a bit with the software before I got a decent handle on it.

Overall, not bad for my first attempt at sound editing.
