Weekly Summary 5
The theme of audio related assignments led to a recurring theme in completion that was pretty surprising to me, difficulty starting. With almost every assignment this week, the first step was the most difficult/time consuming part. Maybe this style of work doesn’t match my style of creativity, or maybe it is just a coincidence. Either… -
Death from Above
In an attempt to get better at audio storytelling I dug deep to tell a story using only noises, instead of verbal communication. This one for me was by far the most difficult assignment of the week, but it ended up being fun once I started piecing it all together. With everything else being so… -
Door to Jurassic Park
In another instant classic audio assignment, the goal is to take a simple everyday noise and make it not so “simple” and “everyday”. My mind couldn’t really grasp both sides at once for something that could turn into something else, so I left it up to fate. I look up some simple sounds you may… -
Not the Sickest Beat in the World, Just a Tribute
For this fun little audio assignment, the task was to create a sick beats to end all sick beats. I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out where to even start. I’m not much of a musically minded person, so I felt like a log adrift until I remembered that the sickest… -
Smoothest Bumper You Heard Today
One mission, one task, create the best DS106 radio show bumper possible. Guess what, mission accomplished. For some reason whenever I think of radio voice transitions, all I can imagine is that old school smooth jazz cliche. Obviously that led to my only option of using that style for my own bumper. I started recording… -
You Can Call Me TED
As an audio assignment, today I was tasked with recording myself saying the first few paragraphs of Try something new for 30 days – Matt Cutts. The goal was to focus on how I’m saying my words, such as pronunciation, inflection, pausing, and so on. Check me out. Maybe next time you hear this wonderful… -
New Thing I’m Bad At
I learned today that humming skills seem to correlate with singing skills, which means that I am terrible at humming. For this audio assignment I had to take a song that gets stuck in my head and record myself humming it. To keep with the 80’s theme, I picked the 80’s song that gets stuck… -
A Week Down, Another to Go
This week proved to be tough. Learning how to use Audacity was tricky at first, but it was rewarding when I was able to do what I wanted to do with my audio. My favorite audio assignment this week was probably Sounds of My Life. It was cool reflecting on what sounds are normally in… -
Weekly Summary
It’s that time again! It’s time for my weekly review of my work. Without further ado, let’s get started! First up we have my daily creates. As always, I enjoyed these. Shockingly, I think my favorite was this one. I say “shockingly,” because another one of mine involved one of my favorite characters for this ... Read moreWeekly Summary -

Audio Reflection
“Moon Graffiti,” gave me chills. The audio made it seem like I was there in a space station and within the first minute, something goes wrong. My heart was pounding when the voices sounded anxious and hurried. It got very loud and then silence. The lack of audio here even made a difference. It let ... Read moreAudio Reflection -
Radio Bumper
by @madelinewelsh2 September 27, 2019My radio bumper was fun, but it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted. I guess some more experimenting with Audacity is needed. I had to do a lot of searching for the background music and my voice is maybe too quiet, but overall it isn’t too bad. It was a fun little project and ... Read moreRadio Bumper -
RADIO STORM!
Not just any storm, but a brainstorm. The goal is a reasonable 20-30 minute radio show, so lets spit some ideas. My personal favorite form of audio content is the open ended podcast, so I could easily see myself going through with a conversation podcast that is loosely guided by 80’s pop culture related topics.… -
Lets Take a Look at Sound
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that sound/music is the least appreciated part of telling a good story, but it can easily make or break the whole thing. Noise is an amazing way to give the viewer the “feel” of the setting or help show the mind space of a character in a… -
Weekly Summary 9/27
Oh my goodness. This was a difficult week for me. I whined about how I had never done photography last week, but audio is a whole different monster. At least I have edited photos a little bit in the past, but this was my first time ever working with audio. I was most excited to … -
Tweet-Along Reflection
I participated in Thursday night’s ds106 radio tweet-along party! It was a pretty good turn-out, and we all listened to an audio story about the legend of the Vanishing Woman. The tale was about a woman and her mother who checked into a French hotel. When suddenly, her mother collapsed in their room. Her daughter … -
Radio Tweet-Along
The Radio Show dealt with female protagonists in radio shows as well as movies. The subject of today was the renditions of the Vanishing Lady. Here are my tweets: This podcast was interesting! I didn’t know there were so few female protagonists. The creator did go a little over the top with some sound effects,… -

I knew I wanted to make at least one mashup this week. I was originally trying to do a true mashup or remix, but this was my first time ever working with audio and using Audacity and I realized how difficult and unfamiliar it is to me. I’ll explain more in my weekly summary, but … -
Sounds of My Life
3 Stars For this assingment I had to record sound that I hear in my life on a regular basis. The first sound is my apartment door opening and hearing my roommate watching TV. The second sound is pages flipping in textbook and novels I have to read for my classes. The third sound is… -
Radio Shows
There are so many possibilities when it comes to radio shows. As I was brainstorming, I was thinking of shows I like listening to. Some of my ideas include: Changing the Decades: travel through the timeline of music for a fun twist on our theme. There are so many gems throughout history! All about UMW:… -
