Rooty Tooty Speech of the West

September 23, 2016

I’m going to to a reading of one of my own poems that I wrote. It lends itself to the speech well with some of the similes that are used. Though I think that it might have come across more southern in my recording than Western but I’ve always felt like those two are really […]

★★☆☆☆ For my last assignment, I did the assignment where I have to read a spam email out loud. I looked through my school email’s spam folder, and found this gem: These “your account is invalid” phishing emails always have horrendous grammar and spelling. I love them. Anyways, here’s my...

September 23, 2016

For this 2 1/2 star assignment to imitate the weather (Audio Assignment 406), I chose to try and sound like rain and wind. I’ve noticed before how if you breathe right, you can sound like the whistling wind on a winter evening. However, I’ll be the first to admit that my first few attempts sounded … Continue reading Weather Imitation →

This week was really fun for me. I found out that I really don’t mind audio editing and found it pretty fun actually. Audacity was a lot easier to use than it seemed when I first opened it. I was very intimidated at first. I used the pitch editing a lot and deleted a lot ...

This week really emphasized the important role that sound has in contributing to storytelling. A lot of this week’s assignments were practical, either encouraging us to engage with and discuss media or directly interact with it. We were also exposed to ds106 radio, which was a fun resource that I wasn’t particularly familiar with before […]

Werewolf Sound Effects

September 23, 2016

One of the must-do assignments was to create a story using only sound effects. It took some pondering to figure out what I wanted to do. I ultimately decided to create a werewolf attack. You see, every Saturday my friends and I play a role-playing game called Werewolf (similar to Mafia or Town of Salem), […]

Constructing Construction

September 23, 2016

I like how everyday sounds, when taken out of context, can turn into something completely different. This led me to try the Familiar Sounds assignment. I began by recording my bathroom fan in Audacity. The sound itself is very rhythmic, and has a somewhat industrial feel to it. This led me to the second half […]

For this assignment, I was required to create a radio bumper for our ds106 radio station. I don’t really have a radio voice so I adjusted the pitch in audacity to make it sound a little more pleasing than my normal voice does. I recorded straight through audacity and moved the clip to where I wanted it in ...

In this 27 second Will Ferrel hilariously advertises for KFC, Domino’s, Taco Bell and most importantly of all, Walker Texas Ranger (or T.R. for short).

For this assignment we had to make a song 800% slower in hopes of making sound tranquil.

It came out well except when I tried to slow down to 800% the … Continue reading Make it 800% slower 4 star →
