Thijs screams very loud, torture sounds.

Male_Thijs_loud_scream

History of the sample
The sample, male_thijs_loud_scream was recorded back in the days Than van Nispen t.P. studied biology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in his free time participated in projects where sound-fx or film-music were needed.
The sample was recorded late 2001 in his student-apartment for some special effects for an interactive theatre play in which Than helped with sound-fx and foley for short animations...
This time a lot of screams were needed as special effect sounds for some fake 'torturing' device within the play.

Thijs, a friend of Than's, showed the person who was doing some voice over screaming sessions, 'how to do it'.
So... that's why there's currently only 'one' Thijs-sample in my collection...
Apparently it turned out to be sort of an unique and 'lucky' shot!
The sample was recorded at 44.1 KHz with a Shure SM58 microphone and with a Terratec EWS 88 MT sound-card.

When Than learned to know the freesound project he thought that maybe other people could also use this sample and other scream-samples in their work or projects and so finally it ended up in the movie 'Children of Men' and many other movies and games...

Hey! I used this sound in my new mini-documentary series about Germany! http://youtu.be/F1K4-Km59L4
You are listed in the end credits and at the following link since Youtube wouldn't let me put all the credits in the description field: http://bit.ly/1bD85k4
The credits are also accessible by clicking on the credit link when it appears in the video during the credits at the end.
Thank you for sharing your sound! If you like the show, please share it around. If you don't like it, well, I guess you can just shake your fist at the screen and yell. Well, as long as you aren’t in a library or you have someone sleeping nearby.
Thanks again,
Kris Boruff
