    Although Wall-E lacks dialogue, it is rich in sound design, thanks to four-time

    Academy Award winner Ben Burtt, dubbed "The Father of Modern Sound Design."

    Sound is extremely important in terms of audience engagement and in determining


    how viewers react for what they're seeing, whether that is a live-action or animation.

    Due to the size and bulk of the recording equipment at the time, crews would use
    basic, operated orchestral instruments and devices that could be used within a
    studio in the early days of sound design for film. Sound design became more
    authentic and complex as audio recording technology advanced, particularly as
    sound designers were able to capture samples of live sound outdoors to create
    greater sonic credibility.

    For decades, Disney has dominated the market for Foley artistry in animated films,
    from hand-turned wind machines to rain sticks and sheet metal to recreate
    thunderstorms.

    Ben Burtt, a sound designer at Disney Imagineering, is perhaps the most spectacular
    sound designer of all time, thanks to his creative methods and unique insight into
    how sound is created. Burtt was hired as the sound designer for Wall-E by film
    director Andrew Stanton.

    Burtt's expertise dates back to engineering sound for


    George Lucas' original Star Wars films, earning him the
    moniker "Doctor" or "Father of Modern Sound Design."
    He's also responsible for giving Wall-E and his world a
    voice, having designed the sound universe for the
    Indiana Jones films.

    Ben Burtt has always enjoyed experimenting with sound, creating a variety of cool
    sound effects with a stretched out metal slinky, including the sound that
    accompanied Eve's laser blasts. Ben Burtt said that designing voices for characters
    was the most challenging task he'd ever had as a sound designer. The biggest
    challenge for him was to keep the soul of a human while making a realistic
    synthesised sound that suited the characters' robotic shape and features.

    In Disney's 1941 film "Dumbo," makers used a Sonavox (an artificial larynx) to make
    a train "talk" with human-like qualities to achieve a desired effect. Today, a software
    instrument called the Vocoder is used to produce a similar but more advanced effect
    on the voice, like pitch modulation.

    In Wall-E, the Vocoder was used to alter the vocal qualities of voice actress Elissa
    Knight, who played Eve, Wall-love E's interest.

    Ben Burtt provided the voice of Wall-E, which was then manipulated with a digital
    pen that served as a joystick to further modulate the sound.
