This week we had to dedicate at lest 5 stars to our character. My character again is Rancher Bob who works on a large ranch with his family. I selected to do a 3 1/2 star assignment called what a song might mean to you.  This assignment tells you to select a song and simply take […]

For 3 out of my 10 stars for audio assignment banks posts this week I selected to do imitate some weather. This assignment instructed you to use simple things around you and try to make it sound like weather. I was in the kitchen so I turned the sink on low for rain, used my voice […]

This was the first assignment of the week that I completed for 4 stars out of the 10 needed this week.  The assignment

So for this week, we started planning out our radio shows. I’m working with Sophia and Maria to create an awesome radio show about traveling! We decided to use GoogleDocs to plan and come up with ideas and it worked out pretty well, as mentioned in the post. I’m pretty excited to get started recording … Continue reading "Audio Party: The Radio Show"

This week, we had to complete 3 daily creates. I think this week they were a little easier than some of the previous weeks, but I was okay with it because it has been a ROUGH week work-load wise. The first daily create I did was to take a selfie when it was 1:06 – … Continue reading "Three New Creations"

This week we made a little headway toward getting our radio program put together. The first part was getting the groups together, which was a little easier than I had expected that it would be. We quickly went about throwing out topics and show ideas and such until we came up with something that sounded […]

So, for this assignment, I decided to relive a bit of my own past in a way. Back when I worked as a line cook at Applebee’s, the other cooks and I would sing the end of Doobie Brothers’ Black Water in a polyphony pretty frequently. So, when I saw this audio assignment, I knew […]

This week was all about preparation. I organized with my groupmates for the radio show and we began discussing ideas, character interactions, and contributions. A run-down of what we discussed is in my radio show update.  Once we agreed on a title, I made a poster for the show. Aside from the initial radio show … Continue reading Get Ready to Tumble: Week 7 →

This assignment’s radio bumper corresponds with my group’s show, Turning Tumbleweeds. The intention in this clip was to sound more like Danny Keys, the character I will be using within the show, so hopefully my voice came across as deep and different enough to be apart from my own. I found the background music and … Continue reading Turning Tumbleweeds Radio Bumper →

For this assignment, you have to find your theme song. I decided that instead of doing mine, I would find Marlene her own song! I chose this song because it starts off kind of dark and mysterious and then gets fast paced, which is what Marlene’s life is doing now. When I introduced her, I … Continue reading "Marlene Got A Theme"

So for this assignment, I chose one of my favorite songs ever and I’m hoping you guys can guess it! It’s kind of an old song (think like middle/early high school), but it’s SO GREAT. I used Audacity to remove the lyrics which was not very easy to do. I had to re-do it a … Continue reading "Guess What Song"

So for this assignment, I struggled a little in deciding what the bumper sticker would look like and all of that. I decided to go on a slightly cheesy route and went with the whole “like westerns? like outlaws? we’ve got it all on DS106 radio”. Part of the reason I did this is because … Continue reading "LISTEN TO DS106 RADIO"

So as everyone is aware, it’s radio show week(s)! I was originally kind of dreading this assignment – I’ve heard about it from some friends and while it sounded cool, it also sounded a little awful. I am happy to say that after brainstorming with my group I am pretty excited for the radio show … Continue reading "Radio Madness"

This radio commercial came out of an assignment that requested the creation of a commercial advertising a product we would like others to know about. In order to work this into my group’s radio show, I made a commercial for my character, Danny Keys, whose only real goods and services is his piano-playing. So, I figured … Continue reading Piano Lessons →

This audio narrative was inspired by an assignment that requested that you create a spooky dialogue with distortions and creative moves to make it sound scary. As I was editing this together, I didn’t like the audio distortions very much for the story, so I layered together a thick ambiance instead of messing with the actual … Continue reading Heavy Fog →

This week’s Daily Create haul was a lot of fun, spanning from finding the time to making an audio journey to misquoting old cowgirls. Here they are: Hope everyone has a great spring break!

This week was short due to the fact that it was dedicated to our radio show. Im excited to get a start and start recording our show! I started off by asking my friend in the class to be in a group, and she knew someone else so we combined for a group. Then we … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

We were supposed to create a radio show poster. For my radio show we are  going on different adventures and incorporating our characters in each place. The Lady Traveliers will be traveling through America, TUNE IN!

  Here is my joke in Spanish! For those who don’t understand the language or my pronunciation :   – Doctor, doctor, el pelo se me está cayendo. ¿Me puede dar algo para conservarlo? “Doctor, doctor, my hair is falling out on me. Can you give me something to keep it?” – Sí, claro. Aquí tiene […]

So, I really like horror movies. The sound effects make the scene, plot, and whole movie! I noticed there is not a lot of sound effects you can add without buying to make the clip scary. So I have uploaded my own sound effects for a horror clip! Hope ya’ll found this assignment as fun […]

Hey Y’all! Here is my commercial for our radio show! It honestly took me forever to figure out what I was going to do my commercial on. But, I used my character we made in the weeks prior so it’s all about “The Barber”, Gus Lee! He is ready for those mid-week specials so y’all […]

I am in a radio show group with Sara, Liam and Kristopher. The name of our group is World Wide Western News! We are doing a radio show that is a news segment. So far we have started a google doc to discuss our ideas on our show. We decided that our show will last […]

. Howdy Ya’ll!!!!! This week was…………….surprisingly mild! Definitely owe it to my group for making it so stress-free for me!

This week so far has been full of planning and organizing on the part of my group. We started off by just getting together and trying to work out ideas in a Google Doc, with pages upon pages of ideas and jumbled up thoughts. Once our group was established, we agreed on meeting in the … Continue reading Tumbling Along →

This assignment looked like a fun one to do, despite it only contributing a few stars. The prompt was that we whistle a tune without revealing what the tune is so others can guess! I admit, I’m a sucker for these kinds of prompts. I love referring to things and hoping others can catch on. … Continue reading Name that Tune →

Here is the promo poster I created for my group’s Western Murder Mystery, “Turning Tumbleweeds”. A major part of the work that went into this poster was primarily finding a working title for the show itself. I had colored and edited the images and worked out the wording of everything else the day before my … Continue reading Turning Tumbleweeds: Coming Soon →

I really enjoyed this week. I like this group project a lot. It is nice to work with other people
