I also looked for suitable sound effects for the video clip based on the websites provided by Mr Martin.

Then, I imported the video clip into Premiere Pro. I started off by importing the storeroom, office, and horror ambience. Things I did for the ambience were naming the audio track, adjusting the volume, and audio fading.

Afterwards, I imported the dialogue into the video clips. Things I did for the dialogue were editing the pitch of the characters and adjusting the speech.

Sound Recording & Shaping

I searched for a simple voicemail greeting from this website to do the sound recording. 
"Hello. I’m not here right now, so leave a message! Make it short, make it sweet, or I’ll have to press delete."

I then imported the sound recording into Adobe Audition and began shaping the sound according to the requirements provided by Mr. Martin.

REFLECTIONS

Experience
In Project 1, I learned how to edit audio to suit the needs of a video. For example, I used a pitch shifter to give a character's voice a deeper tone. Additionally, I learned how to use Adobe Audition to create audio effects that match different environments, such as making a voice sound like it's in a bathroom, a cave, or during a phone call. I gained a lot of valuable skills that I can apply to video editing in the future.
