Hamster Podcast

The Hamster 3:00 minute podcast I listened to was made – according to me – with not very many noises.  It seemed as if every noise was easily detectable for the reason that there were not too many occasions where the noises overlapped as they would have in a more complicated podcast.  There are about five different noises within the time frame which were put together in a certain manner in order to portray exactly what it was meant to portray.  Throughout the entire podcast, the theme of tranquility remained prominent through the low tones in the volume of the peoples’ voices and the majority of silence in the room apart from.

This video was prepared in its own way in order to go through with the message that it wanted to bring forth.  I believe that it was made to make the listener feel as if they were engaging in regular conversation with the speaker.  Soft voices were what the listener was first introduced with and then the narrator begins talking with the background noise being the room tone (silence).  Once the listener was caught on the words that the speaker was administrating -about 45 seconds in, sounds of the strings of a guitar were introduced into the piece.  The narrator began sounding more engaged in the conversation by making her voice more excited and then the music came to a halt at about one minute and ten seconds.  Throughout the entire time the narrator/speaker was speaking, there were soft noises of voices in the background engaging in the conversation itself.  At about two minutes and eighteen seconds, the hamster started to what it sounded like – eat although to me it sounded like a wind noise.  The guitar begins again about twenty seconds after pulling the story plot together while simultaneously keeping the casual, tranquil environment.
