Making Sound Effects for Radio
• Telephone receiver picked up, hung up: Use a real, unplugged phone for this sound. • Door opening, shutting: Use a real door. • Bumping noises: Knock your elbow against a door or knock a block of wood on a table. • Footsteps: Put a pair of women's heels pumps over your hands like glove puppets, then move the shoes in a walking motion over a plank of wood. Remember, a footfall has two sounds - heel, toe. For heavy footsteps use a drum and a soft mallet. • Echo: Hold a metal wastebasket to the side of your mouth and talk partly into it and partly into the microphone. • Thunder: Shake a cookie tin or other large piece of thin metal. • Voice on the phone: Talk into a paper cup. • Pouring: Pour water from a pitcher into a large glass. The glass should already have about an inch of water in it. • Walking on gravel: Fill a bowl half full of corn flakes and hold the bowl close to the mike. Squish the cornflakes between two fingers in a walking rhythm. • Fog horn: Blow across the top of a glass bottle. • Fire: Crinkle cellophane. • Rain: Drop dry, uncooked spaghetti on a cookie sheet.
