Wall of Sound

I could almost see the markings of a pencil that had been pushed into the texture of the white wall. I stood up, and walked over to see what it said. I passed a lady who had fallen asleep on my right that filled the room with an obnoxious rumble that echoed throughout the room. I neared the spot and could make out the words “Hel…” the last word, looked like someone had drew it if they had been in a hurry to write it before they were taken away. Fear encased my brain as I wandered what actually…

to close completely during production of the oral sounds. There are three types of velopharyngeal dysfunction, which are the velopharyngeal insufficiency (structure), velopharyngeal incompetence (movement), and velopharyngeal mislearning (articulation). Normal resonance is control by the size and the shape of the pharyngeal, oral, and nasal cavities, which provides the quality and uniqueness of the voice from the vocal tract with airflow and sound. Airflow is converted into air pressure by…

Bigfoot Monster It all started on one bright Saturday morning. It seemed that I would have great day was ahead, or so I thought. I had just woken up and was still lying in bed when I heard the sound of heavy footsteps. They weren’t normal footsteps though. They were heavier and louder, as if they weren’t human. I was frozen in fear and tried to process my thoughts to what I would do if the thing came to my room. The footsteps kept getting louder and louder. What should I do? The next thing I…

“What’s happening? What is this place?” I asked Ethan very confusedly “What’s happening is that the crowd is chanting. And this place is called Doctor Money’s Ultimate War Arena.” “Really!? More of this Doctor Money crap!” “Yep,” Suddenly the black wall I was looking at was opened up like a sliding glass door. It revealed a huge battle ground below me that I could not see before. Around the huge battle ground were huge stands that held millions of people. I was being held by some sort of vise…

audible when the piles of shoes are in the frame. Altogether, these noises elevate tension and suspense. There are sound effects to the Pale Man lifting his hands and placing the eyeballs into the sockets on his palms. These sound effects help announce his awakening. As soon as Ofelia spots the grapes that she is not supposed to eat, a piece of music with a warning tone plays. Sound works with the visuals to further describe and explain a scene. The faun is another creature that Ofelia…

inner ear.The outer part of the ear collects sound. Sound travels through the auricle and the auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum. Sound entering the outer ear travels through the middle ear and causes the eardrum and ossicle in the middle ear to vibrate. As it travels, it amplifies and changes from air to liquid. When the stapes moves, it pushes the oval window, which then moves the cochlea. The cochlea takes the fluid vibration of sounds from the surrounding semi-circular…

numbers, except he was probably at home asleep. I focused on the landmarks. After an hour of lost driving, I found the hidden loft because of the inner lights that illuminated the whole home despite the hour. A train horn sounded, camouflaging the sound of the Jeep’s engine shutting off. I stepped out of the car and left Ves behind. I pounded against the door, ashamed of the how rude an unexpected visit was at this time. Alexander answered with a peculiar look on his face. “Hello Scarlett.” He…

the short and long sounds of each letter. The students received multiple phonics lessons all from two videos. They were physically interacting with the video because they used their arms to create the letter C when a consonant appeared on the screen and the letter V when a vowel appeared on the screen. After the videos, the students participated in another activity that…

Introduction: On Music and Sound in The Tempest: We all know that music and sound are important to many forms of theater. It can help to build the environment in which the story we are experiencing can play out, enforce a theme, or make the audience feel an emotion before they know why. Film as well as opera are a few examples, but it is not nearly as widely seen, or rather heard, in plays. The Tempest does a great job of incorporating sounds and music to construct the eerie, magical feeling of…

“I FOUND IT!” Nicole burst into Zach’s apartment, waving a sheet of notebook paper. “Found what?” Zach sat up, his heart swelling at the thought of what she might say next. “The address, Zach, the address, it’s the paper factory!” Nicole shrieked and laughed, almost starting to dance around the room. “Holy- holy cow, Nicole!” Zach laughed. Nicole leapt at him and they grabbed each other into a hug. “Y-you aren’t joking?” “No!” Nicole was overcome with emotion. “We-we found her. We did it.”…
