Assignment Idea #1

SWAP SHOP! 
Yes, I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. One of the local radio stations always had this thing called ‘Swap Shop’ where people would call in and sell their goodies or whatever. So I decided, HELLO! perfect assignment. I recorded myself in audacity as both the radio personality ‘Brad’ and the caller. I went to generate-> change pitch and changed it to a negative 11, to get the Brad voice deep enough. Then I recorded myself on a separate track (go to track–>add new) and was the caller. I decided not to mess with an accent for it, although that might be a suggestion to make it better! I went with selling a dog, only I’m complaining about the dog the entire time–not usually a good idea when you’re trying to sell something. But that’s the magic of the swap shop! I stitched my tracks together using the time shift tool and voila! Presto!

Also, maybe it should be worth two stars because it does require some editing work and pitch changes.
