Malloc lab

I love how you chose to read the Malloc instructions. I also actually liked how you changed the microphone distance 30 seconds into the reading. Rather than listening to one recording, closing it, pausing a few seconds, opening the second recording, and trying to note the difference, the listener is jostled by the difference immediately because it's so much more apparent. For some reason, i think of the far away recording as having less human characteristics. It may be the lack of breaths or lack of richness in tone, but having the microphone far away strikes me as seeming more impersonal, especially in this recording.

Interesting selection of reading. It was very easy to tell where the mic was based on the sound of the recording (close, far, close, far) and I agree with all the observations you made about the differences. I'm not 100% that I understand by what you mean in saying that the it sounded more like a "recording" when the mic was further away. Is it because background sounds are audible and the voice doesn't have the same quality/tone as you would hear in person? If that is the case, then I agree. It sounds more like a recording when the mic is far and more like you are listening to an actual person when the mic is closer.
