For the live listening session this week, I participated in the Wednesday session which consisted of the last two episodes of “Limetown”. It took me a couple minutes to acclimate to the plot and what was going on since I hadn’t heard the prior episodes, but once I was able to distinguish the voices, I felt like I could easily decipher what was going on. The biggest thing, of course, was analysing the auditory cues. I found it so fascinating to really make myself think about how just a simple instrumental backing track can change a whole mood and make the listener feel with the characters. I also loved the use of auditory cues to relay setting, like when Lia and Diedre were outside, you could here the ambient outdoor sounds. When they moved to the car, the ambient noise was absent, their voices were clearer, and audio editing made it slightly resonant to cue that they were in a small space where sound was bouncing off all around them. I had to tune out for the last 10 minutes as I had to go to my acapella rehearsals, but I felt like in the 50 minutes that I was listening, I got a lot out of it in terms of the impact and use of music, sound effects, and general sound mixing.
