    Reflection time

    by
    This audio is a perfect example of good storytelling. The background music gave it more suspense. The change of tone in the people’s voices made the audio more real. If the sound was cheerful then it wouldn’t be as impactful. Sound matters when it comes to storytelling. The sound evokes the reader to feel fear […]

It was like I was watching a movie, but without the visuals, which is essentially what good audio storytelling should strive for. The story opens with the date: July 20, 1969. Immediately, the listeners are thrust right […]

    Audio Reflection

    by
    I listen to more podcasts than anyone I know. I am a huge mystery podcast person, I am constantly listening to different ones throughout my day. Watching and listening to the different videos and podcasts for this week was really interesting because of my love of the radio. Jad Abumrad’s take on radio was the most interesting though. He talks about how the human voice is such a great tool for radio because of the different ways you can use it. One thing he said that really stuck out to me was this quote: “I’m painting something but I’m not […]

    Week 5 – Audio Reflection

    by
    Jad Abumrad does a great job advocating for radios. In How Radio Creates Empathy, Abumrad explains how lacking visuals has to power to bring people together through imagination. In the second video he compares modern day story telling to old-fashioned shamanism. I understand his point and I appreciate his passion for the art form.

    listening to moon graffiti definitely gave me a Nasa type Vibe. It reminded me of the times in middle school where we would watch the moon landing or any other Nasa projects. At the beginning you hear like people communicating with each other. Through out I could imagine the speakers in my head. The sounds […]
