Foley , Sound Effects , Ambiance , Music , Dialogue , Identification .

Description

Characters, objects and actions are associated varied sound, including in Dialogue and Foley, for enhanced experience.

The lack of variety in the sounds associated to characters, objects and actions can compromise the experience. The pertinence of variety extends to several features. In the case of Dialogue, variety applies to the text being said and to intonation. If phrases are shared among several characters, variation also applies to voice pitch. If a same character sequentially repeats one particular phrase, variation applies to the time elapsed between iterations, too. In the case of Foley, if sound relates to physical reaction to contact, variability may be implied by the possibility of different nature and magnitude of the contact.

Some prejudices may result from a player’s perception of the lack of variety. One is that it impairs a possible naturalist approach to immersion. Another is fatigue. Several factors may influence the perception of the lack of variety, including: the duration of the experience; the time elapsed between successive expositions to a same sound; and, the plausibility of the repetition. The plausibility of a repetition tends to be smaller for complex or improbable sound.
