Roar Origins

[Darth Calypso]

Not sure if anyone else posted this but, Kamacuras' roar is a sped up version of Ebirah's roar.

Has anyone heard Maguma's roar? It's pretty sweet.

The question is, how did Toho do it? Did they use REAL walrus sounds, perhaps?

Elephant trumpet + lion/tiger roars.

Interesting; I wonder how much the sounds were tweaked.
Thanks!

When I was hearing Maguma's roars I heard a little bit of Rodan's cries in Maguma

Same here, clear as a bell in the beginning of the roar.

I just found raw sounds from GRA on YouTube. Anguirus's roars were made with a saxophone, and later altered.

bring this thread back, you guys had some cool info in here. don't let it die people!

How about Ebirah's metallic squawk? Or Giant Condor's chirp?

[GreenAiden555]

Something interesting I noticed is that, not even exclusive to Showa roars, if you listen REALLY carefully, you can hear a bit of the original device used to create it. For example, some choice Rodan clips you can hear the trail end of someone plucking strings.

Anyone know about Ghidorah?

[Tamura]

^ I know what you mean. You can sort of hear it in Ebirah's cry.

Zombie thread, I know but I found out how some of Godzilla's roars from 1984, 1989, and 2002-2004 were made.

1984 - The basic roar begins like one of Shodai ('50s) Godzilla's roars but then goes into a sequence that sounds pretty rough like concrete mixed with a animal growl and then ends of with the finishing part of a roar from '55 Goji. The longer roar has the basic roar mixed in but with added sounds like more crumbling and breaking noises and a part taken from a '55 Goji roar while a sound of what seems to be a man screaming -put into a low pitch- is mixed with that whole roar. It then ends like the basic roar. The other roar of what sounds like one of '54 Goji's roars is that roar but with added "blaring'" sounds -like a really loud explosion when caught on a camera- to beef up the old roar a little.

1989 - These roars are modified 1984 roars. It begins with the recognizable Godzilla roar but then branches off into one of '84's growls and the whole roar sounds smoother than the '84 roar. The longer roar is almost the same as the basic '84 roar but then goes off into an extended '84 growl that was put at a lower pitch. The other roar that sounds like one of Shodai Goji's roars is a little hard to make out. I'm guessing it's one of the old roars but slightly shortened and beefed up with growls.

2002-2004 growls/cries - I'm not talking about the main roar, I'm talking about the growls/cries that were spouted out alot by this version of Godzilla. They started out as elephant sounds but were later put at a low pitch. I'm able to confirm this one since I was playing around with some elephant sounds in a sound editing program and I got some of the growls used by millenium Goji. Some of these were mixed with the beginning of this Godzilla's roar later on.

I heard Gabara's roar was made from Justin Bieber being raped by a lion.
You know what makes it even more funny? I can believe that.
