EVP Classification: The Midterm Exam

[PPI Karl]

Lesson 1:  EVP Classifications
Lesson 2:  Class C EVPs
Lesson 3:  Class B EVPs
Lesson 4:  Class A EVPs (Part 1)
Lesson 4:  Class A EVPs (Part 2)
Lesson 5:  AVPs

THE MIDTERM EXAM
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to post one sound clip from each of the categories discussed in the five lessons.  We'll "workshop" them and discuss their type, their relative strengths and weaknesses, and, of course, their designated classification.  (Please, no more than four sound clips total.)

These clips can be your own or they can be scavanged from other sites.  Remember, you cannot embed media files into your post; you'll have to provide external links to them.  Whether or not you use your own sound files, don't tell us anything about them until later.  (I have a "gag rule" in my workshops:  people cannot ask questions or interject with explanations until after we have discussed the writing, so that the writer receives a more candid response.  Let's do the same thing here.)  We'll conduct the workshop one person at a time--first come, first served.  No time limit.

NOTE:  If you link to media on other websites please give those sites full credit in your post.

Have fun!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Phelps.   (gulp)


Yes...I am old enough to remember the original "Mission Impossible"

Wasn't his message suppossed to self destruct?  I need to get a place to host the files, then I'll play.

Seeing Peter Graves in Mission Impossible in the late 60's and early 70's (I watched it as a little kid.  Dad's fav show) and seeing him in Airplane was just too weird.  Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. 

I wonder if the original show is still on tv anywhere. Mission Impossible, that is.

I think Martin Landau was the only legitimate actor to come out of the series.  But, then again, even he did some wierd sh*t in the 70s and 80s.  (Yes, I confess, I was a bit of a junkie for Space 1999.  Our Moon, hurdling through interstellar space, encountering a litany of HR Puffinstuff aliens:  it just doesn't get any better. )

Does anyone remember the MTV Movie Awards from a few years ago?  Actually, I think it was from when the first Mission Impossible came out.  They were honoring Tom Cruise. (Of course those were his pre couch jumping days). Anyway, one of the V.J.'s who goes by the name of "Kennedy" was interviewing people as they walked in on the red carpet.  Martin Landau walked up to her and she started interviewing him.  She asked him if he had seen the movie and what he thought about it.  He said he hadn't seen it but he was in the original. Well, she gets this weird look on her face and says, "You were?  I didn't see you".  Martin said, "I was in the original television series".  So genius says, "There was a television show"?  Ohhhh Myyyyyyy GOD....that was all it took and Martin went OFF on her.  He said, "Wait a minute.  You are out here interviewing me and you don't even know there was a television show? You better get your facts straight honey! You better do your home work"!  He just laid into her. Then he walked away and CAME BACK for round two.  Oh my God. I was priceless.  I don't know if I quoted him exactly, but that was the jist of it.  It was actually much worse.  If anyone can find it on YouTube or remembers it, you'll know what I mean.

I kinda felt sorry for her, but she deserved it.  It was a classic tv moment.

I have a question Karl. Can we use sound files from previous investigations?

You betcha, Ellie, so long as you don't give away any private information about the client (which I know you won't anyway).

This ought to be fun. Esspecially for those in training. I am going to start with one you found Karl. I am sure you know the one I am refering to. I may take a while though. I do want to give a proper professional analysis.
