I'm a foley artist, ask me to make free stuff!

[Dan95363]

Hi, I'm a hobby foley artist and recently joined the KVR forum - what are some things that people often need recorded? I like to do free sound packs on my website that are based around one or a few different objects. For example, one was a camera sample pack, and another was metal and plastic foley.

Please only ask for things that you'll use more than once! I love making these, but I don't want to spend time making something that will stay mostly untouched.

Current list of requests in order of priority:

1. Vegetables (e.g. celery snapping or a squash being smashed)
2. Glass breaking
3. Debris (falling debris, big stones & cement)
4. Household stuff (kitchen appliances, tools, pots and pans, bubbling pots, hissing oil, shower, toilet, misc. household items)
5. Sounds of children's toys (key winding, motorized/RC cars, robots, things that have speakers)

With that said, keep them coming - I'd like to release these approximately monthly if possible.

I'm going to cap it at seven, so there are two requests left! Better hurry!

Update: I made a contact mic using a piezo disc, so any cool uses for it gets free street creds.

Neat idea, but it's winter here and I don't feel like going outside for extended periods of time haha. But maybe in the future!

Whatever is unique to your area/environs that others don't necessarily have access to. Also keep an ear out for events. And put yourself there. Don't ask yourself if you should record, just do it, the storage is free and you can always delete it.

Make a classic foley, breaking bones!... I mean celery.

You got it chief. The pack after the current one I'm editing will be vegetables

For sure, although I'm still on the high school grind so time isn't really on my hands like that if y'know what I mean.

What instruments do you have? If you have a bass guitar, how about sampling ALL the notes of that bass? I will pass on drums.

If you have a very good synthesizer, would you please sample the lead sounds (for melodies and solos)?

If you have Led Zeppelin CDs, could you please isolate Jimmy Page's guitar parts and sample those?

Need more cassette noises, pressing play, stop, rewind,

A random special kind of sound I am obsessed with using and have a hard time finding;

Various types of chains.
Being dragged. Kicked. Hanging. Slid(?) around.
On clean or dirty surfaces; cement, metal, wood.

Maybe other small resonant metal bits too, but I think the sameness and connectedness of the many links in a chain is a part of why its a special sound...

A niche market for sure!

The sound of one hand clapping!
