Design of a workshop to encourage conscious listening to everyday sound

Evaluation Experiment and Text Mining Analysis of Foley Sound Production Workshop

Abstract

This study proposes a Foley Sound workshop to promote conscious listening to everyday sounds. The production of Foley sound involves the process of analyzing, listening to, and reproducing sound sources from video materials. By focusing on this production process and experiencing it in a workshop format, we believe that it will promote the ability to listen consciously to everyday sounds. In the evaluation experiment conducted, a sound listening test was conducted before and after the Foley Sound Workshop. As a result, it was confirmed that the number of sounds heard increased and the frequency of verbs expressing sound movement increased, suggesting that there was a certain effect. These results suggest that the Foley sound production workshop can be applied to sound design education, such as auditory skill development.
