For my Jingle Jangle I decided to embody some Christmas spirit into a favorite product of mine. Nutella is a healthy part of any balanced diet (until they got sued for saying that). Regardless, its delicious, especially so on a … Continue reading →

This 4 star assignment made me nervous but at the same time, I wanted to try it out. We had to act as 3-4 different people and have a conversation together. I decided to act as a sister, brother, and … Continue reading →

For this 3 star assignment, we had to take an artist and make them sound like the famous chipmunks. As soon as I saw this assignment, I was excited to do it, because I loved the Alvin and chipmunks songs … Continue reading →

  For the “Voice Morphing” assignment, I told a joke (but I’m not going to tell you what joke, I’ll leave that up for you to interpret because it may or may not be controversial). To get my voice like this, I used a couple of different features on Audacity. I lowered my pitch, slowed ...

  From the first week that we wet our feet with audio assignments, I thoroughly enjoyed the “Sound Effect Story” assignment, so I took it upon myself to make another one. This sound effect story uses five different sounds. Two different breathing sounds (for the sigh at the end), some classical music in the background ...

  This is a poetry read of a Shel Silverstein poem, entitled “The Meehoo with an Exactlywatt” and I read it for the “Poetry Reading” audio assignment. I like this poem because it reminds me of how homophonic the English language is, which just makes it all the more confusing. (From a Linguistic point of ...

  This is some spam from my WordPress Blog (even though I do have a spam-blocker). The audio assignment “Taking Back Spam” required me to read some spam (whether it be mail, a comment, etc) and to either try to make sense of it, or to make it more absurd than it already is. I ...

  This assignment, “Over-Dramatic Reading,” took care of a Daily Create and an audio assignment in one. I read Emily Dickinson’s “If you are Coming in the Fall” in my best dramatic voice (semi-British, semi-weird/not sure what’s going on). Since I am bad at anything but being overly-dramatic, that’s how this turned out, which makes ...

This was the “May I take your Order?” Assignment, which I really enjoyed doing. This assignment required that you use your best accent and pretend like you are ordering something from McDonald’s. I was inspired by the Pronunciation Manual guy on YouTube because I just saw him for the first time last week. I seriously ...

SO the radio show is done! Overall, this project exceeded my expectations. My group organized pretty quickly, I took point initially on making use of the Canvas group to get everyone together to talk topics and format (I figured we … Continue rea...

So I know normally we dont post for each TDC but this one, about someone special, deserves a post on its own. This is my fiance Brittany. She is my whole world. Without her love and support I wouldnt be … Continue reading →

6 daily creates:  I realized that from now on I can just post a link to my daily creates instead of embedding them both into my daily create summary page and weekly summary page.  I like how this week there was more time to do 6 daily creates.  Also now that I had time over ...

By far, this assignment was the most time consuming. Originally, I had high hopes of making it awesome, seamless, and hilariousness. Alas, that was not going to be the case because of papers, work, and general lack of time/patience. I knew for this mash-up … Continue reading →

This was another easy assignment because it only required on editing effect of the audio; adjust the speed resulting in a chipmunk voice. It took me awhile to find a song reflecting Autumn, but I found Van Morrison’s “Autumn Song”. … Continue reading →

This assignment asked that you create your own verse by taking pieces of your favorite songs and editing them together. Because our radio show was autumn themed, I took all my Halloween favorites and made a mash-up. The mash-up is of Legend of the … Continue reading →

I think our radio show turned out really well.  Over fall break I made a radio bumper that I thought would go well with our show and I also recorded my part of the show.  These were some great tips for people of all ages.  I also threw in a couple of safety tips that ...

Or so my Theme Verse might make you think. I love the old school girl power songs that aren’t quite as in your face as the Spice Girls but still kick ass in their own way. I used Nancy Sinatra’s These … Continue reading →

Our radio show is due in 3 days, and what better way than to create a radio bumper. I had a lot of fun with this, specially because I’m getting very comfortable with audacity.  Our radio show is a Halloween/autumn … Continue reading →

Audio Assignment Count: 2 This assignment looked pretty damn cool. Also the other examples were pretty awesome so I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring. I decided not to use any fancy-dancy effects, because I was confident I could morph … Continue reading →

Make ‘Em Laugh was a wee bit challenging, considering I don’t really know any languages other than Spanish and English.  Trying to pronounciate words I wasn’t familiar with was so difficult.  I chose to do a joke in Italian.   I … Continue reading →
