Child Sound Effects

Child sound effects mostly come as part of the world around them, and that's how they turn up here. Kids out in playgrounds and on busy streets, all recorded as they happen. Real life, basically. Then the louder side: screams and shouts from children as well as adults, for horror and action.

Most of these are ambiences, so the children sit in a real place with traffic or a fountain behind them, which is far easier to cut than a dry voice. Kids' voices are high and they carry, so even a distant Playground can take over a mix. Keep it low and it says a quiet suburb on a weekend. Bring it up and it's the school run. The screams and shouts are another matter, suited to horror and fantasy, where a child's scream lands very differently from an adult's.
