day 90... canned laughter!!

day 90 ... canned laughter, And my task this gloriously sunny day is to record the new generation  of canned laughter ... typical  when its sunny... indoors for tasking. Apparently the majority of canned laughter used on todays t.v shows the world over was recorded in the 1950's although im not a big fan of canned laughter on programmes ( if you have to tell the viewing public  when something funny and hence laughter worthy has been said  its probably not funny enough) I  do see that 50-60 year old laughter on tv is probably something that needs reviewing.

If you think about it most of the people you hear when canned laughter is used sound  middle aged at best, does noone else find dead people laughing over sit coms un-nerving? I for one  certainly do.. Anyway using  a  voice recording package on my computer i recorded several laughs  ranging  from short bursts of  chuckle ( for mildly funny jokes without an intended pause)..to big hearty overblown laughs  (for the jokes the writers of sitcoms consider sidesplit worthy).

Then not only did i send them to benrik, to do with as they will, but i thought i would also try my luck by sending  them as attachments to some makers of  said sit coms, with the reasons  for update stated above.. id put the hard yards in  may aswell try and get them used right?

So today i recorded a new generation of canned laughter as required, i also put them out there..in the hope that one day i.. and all of you would hear my cackle on mildly amusing programmes   the world over.

laughter recorded- task canned!
