Day 1 of Animation Gets Real was a success! Dr. Clint Randles, Professor of Music Education & Co-Director of Contemporary Music at the University of South Florida School of Music, worked with students to record 3 types of sounds ranging from voice acting to foley (sound effects) and music. Students had the opportunity to record each individual sound based on just a 0:30 second clip. These types of fun and unique experiences develop public speaking and confidence. We love to see it! Animation Gets Real is presented by: All Kids Included, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, Miami-Dade Public Library System, Sandrell Rivers Theater, Arts For Learning/Miami, The Children's Trust of Miami-Dade County, Arts4All Florida, Taft Foundation and DaniMation. #A4LMiami #Arts4Learning
