Before starting edit and add in sound effect in Adobe Premiere Pro, we are requite to do a sound effect sheet to understand what sound effect we need to find and the timeline that put in the sound effect. We also need to record our voice when the character are speaking.

Progress

I discovered the sound effects first in the process, however I made a mistake when downloading the wav. version of the audio. Because the sound effects are too large to apply, Adobe Premiere Pro became very slow. After running into this issue, I nearly redid it and began downloading the mp3 version of the sound effects, which eventually worked, then I inserted the sound effects and began modifying the duration and level to match the footage. Following that, I recorded the conversation in Premiere Pro and corrected the pitch; the outcome wasn't ideal, but it gave me a sense of the character's gender.
