Here we have the rookie radio broadcaster, Bosco, entertaining his audience with some pop music while hosting a one million dollar giveaway. Pretty cool, right? Honestly, I’ve always wanted to try to being a radio broadcaster or doing something with radio when I was younger. When I was creating this bumper, I started reminiscing about my days in middle school where I would wait for the bus in my grandfather’s car and listen to the radio together with him. It was nothing but early morning radio talk shows for the next 3 school years and it was a lot of fun. You could say that this rookie radio broadcaster is doing broadcasting because he knew his grandfather would love it.

To create this assignment, I used the program Audacity as seen below. I began first by recording my voice for the radio bumper by using my own microphone and proceeding to click the record button.

I next added in an instrumental to replicate other radio broadcasters. I didn’t do too much editing to the sound files, but I did increase the decibels of my voice and decreased the decibels of the instrumental to make my voice sound a bit louder than it actually was.

As you can see below, I used the split function to stop a portion of the instrumental where my voice ended, so that I could raise the decibels back up to make it seem like that song was about to start up and to confirm to the audience that I was finished speaking for that moment.
