Final Project Draft
Warning: as usual, this is a very rough draft. I still have plenty of interviews to hold.
In a sense, this is an audio portrait of my mother's family. I intend to center the piece around the death of my maternal grandmother, as she is the one credited with "keeping the family together." When she died, members of her extended family began distancing themselves from one another.
I would like to include a few stories about the family spending time together, or, ideally, stories about my grandmother and her relationship with her children, nieces, and nephews.

She has a great voice for this piece. I love it when she laughs, it adds a bit of personality! This is a really interesting piece, nice work Elly!
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see this with other voices, hopefully they'll interweave with what you already have because right now this doesn't really hold my attention with just her talking. Keep that laugh.
ReplyDeleteI think your decision to center it around the grandmother is spot on. Lovely clean sound as always.
ReplyDeleteI really like her voice in this piece. I feel that what ever you have got till now could be a bit shorter though especially if you're going to add more. Also may be you could try spacing the piece out as in use some pauses as its a lot of information and i feel it will register better that way.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a really good idea, and your grandma has such a grandma voice, it's great. Maybe you should add something to the background so it's not a lot of talking - I lost focus within the few minutes. Otherwise keep it up - expecting something really amazing out of this :)
ReplyDeleteI love her voice and when she laughs, it makes me want to laugh too. I think this is a great piece. I also think a lot of people will be able to relate to this. Good job so far.
