AJD Productions Presents:

William Shakespeare's Macbeth

  
The predictions that the Three Fates make while speaking to Macbeth was a crucial point in the story, though Macbeth didn't realize it.  They predicted he would become the Thane of Cawdor.  Minutes after the fates vanished, Ross and Angus came to Macbeth bringing him the news that he was now the Thane of Cawdor.  That set him thinking about the prediction of him becoming king...
 
This act of the play was an interesting one to work on because of the music I managed to find, which would fit the overall mood.  Another interesting feature was the Three Fates' voices.  As in the retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I did all the voices.  The Fates' voices were the most interesting.  I created them by making my voice soft or like a cackling witch, then increasing the pitch. As for Macbeth, Banquo, Ross and Angus; they all sounded similar, but with pitch variations.  I tried to make Ross sound like a big, old, boastful, but not to bright soldier-messenger.  I made Angus sound like he had a more matter-of-fact and to-the-point manner.
 
In this audio presentation, I enjoyed cutting the music to fit in the scenes, which I think makes it a unique rendition of the act from Macbeth.
