Baby crying competitions - Welcome To China!

This week several lucky students had the chance to present their collected Indian Aesthetic sounds that they spent all yesterday evening working on, and the rest of the class had to Guess The Emotion™. Most notable was Freddie's, where he explained how studies have proven that infant humans are able to communicate emotions through different types of crying. While he was playing the well-researched sounds, I, as most of the other people in the room, attempted to 'understand' what the baby wanted, based purely on the way it was crying. It was not until after all the samples were played that Freddie informed us that we were supposed to be writing how the cry made US feel, not what we thought the baby was feeling. I love a good twist at the end of a boring movie!
