Pooh sounds better than it looks

After a lot of duds from the remix generator I would up with one that I liked. The original assignment was to take a quote and put it in a picture with a background that enhances it. My remix card was “Media Bender,” where I do the assignment using another media. I decided to use one of my favorite quotes from A.A. Milne (He wrote Winnie the Pooh):

“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best,” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.

I recorded myself reciting the poem on SoundCloud and then started looking for a suitable background to add to it. I searched around on sound bible and found a track called sunny day that was basically just nature sounds from the woods. This matched both the tone I wanted and the length of the clip so I wouldn’t have to do that much editing. I opened both clips up in Audacity to put the finishing touches on it and make sure the background wasn’t overpowering.

Here it is. Enjoy!
