Assignment: "Call of the Shift" – Therian Vocal Exploration Objective: Practice expressing your therian identity through safe, conscious animal vocalizations and understand how sound connects to instinct, emotion, and species identity. ? Instructions: Choose Your Therian Type (or the one you connect to most today): Examples: wolf, big cat, raven, horse, fox, etc. Research & Reflect: Watch or listen to real-life recordings of your species' sounds. Think: What kinds of calls or sounds do they make when they’re… Alert or cautious? Playing? Calling to their pack or family? Alone? Practice Three Types of Vocalizations: A soft sound (purr, whimper, low growl, chirp, etc.) A medium sound (call, bark, snort, chatter, etc.) A loud/strong sound (howl, roar, scream, warning call, etc.) Record Yourself: Use the Scratch sound recorder (or your own device if you're uploading later). You can either: Record each sound separately and label them (like “Fox – Alert Call”), or Create a mini audio collage of your vocal expressions. (Optional) Add Animation: Create a simple Scratch animation of your therian self making the sounds! Match each vocalization to an emotion or scene (forest, full moon, running, etc.) ? How to Share: Title your project “[Your Username]’s Therian Vocal Journey” Add it to the class studio or remix the example project (if you give one). Let others comment constructively — we uplift each other! ? Important Reminders: Never strain your voice — this should be instinctive and safe. Drink water before and after. It’s totally okay if your voice isn’t “perfect” — this is about connection, not performance. You can keep it quiet if you're in a shared space. Even breath patterns, mouth movements, or low growls count.
