Tips for “The Dark Knight Rises”: Growling, Screaming, Chanting

The Dark Knight Rises chant challenge has begun. How many people can you invite to the choir? How will you record your chant? We’re aiming to make this a choir of thousands, and need every one of you to make your individual contributions.

Tip: the more creative you get, the better the results. Try chanting exactly as the preview leads you to respond. Then try your response as growls, or humming, or even rhythmic screams. Come up with some wild effects to make your chant truly unique. That’s what this is all about – there’s no such thing as out-of-tune, out of time, or correct pronunciation. This is your chance to become part of a legend, and it’s about what you can make of it. The more voices, the better.

Watch the official “The Dark Knight Rises” trailer to get into the zone. Record your contribution to the chant, and have fun with it. Add your voice and add your friends, and make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity one you’ll never forget.
