Radio Sound Effects
To today's radio listener, it is difficult to imagine the influence radio once held over the American people. Unlike movies or newspapers, radio both informed and entertained its audience without requiring them to participate. Part of its success depended upon the people who created the sound effects--a squeaking door, the approach of a horse, or a typewriter. The author did live sound effects during the "Golden Age" of radio. He provides many insights into the early days of the medium as it grappled with entertaining an audience based on a single sense (hearing). How the sounds were produced is fully covered as are the artists responsible for their production. Stories of successful effects production are balanced by embarrassing or funny failures. A list of artists and their shows is included.
Sound Effects
Sound Effects explores the dynamic intersection of visual art and auditory imagination within action comics, revealing how both hand-drawn and digital sound effects shape the reader's experience. Sound effects are more than mere onomatopoeia; they constitute a sophisticated visual language capable of conveying a sound's nature, intensity, and even emotional impact. For instance, the book examines how artists use lettering styles and motion lines to simulate sonic characteristics, innovating techniques that continue to influence comic book art. The book progresses from the historical roots of sound effects in comics, analyzing hand-drawn techniques pioneered by artists like Jack Kirby, to the digital revolution and its impact on comic book design. By understanding the evolution of these techniques, readers gain insight into the semiotic principles governing their interpretation. This approach offers aspiring artists and comic book enthusiasts a comprehensive overview, filling a gap in existing literature by focusing specifically on the artistic and technical aspects of creating sound effects.
