Overall, I have enjoyed combining different sounds to create a story. I’m not accustomed to using, or just hearing, audio since I watch a lot of TV and movies. Audio really is the basic building block for any type of animated storytelling. After listening to “Moon Graffiti” I felt like I was on the moon … Continue reading Audio Storytelling

For todays daily create we had to record us talking like pirate. Well female pirates were not allow. So I think I would had to be in disguised and trying to pick up some beauties so that no body could suspect me of being a girl. My pickup line would be Avast me, proud beauty … Continue reading Late Pirate Talk day →

If I had to choose any pages of the story it would have to be the last page because so much is revealed and there could have been so many sounds. The first would be the kid running to his mother and you could have him yelling and the sound of him running. Then there […]

When I was a kid I always loved story time. It was a time where I could choose any of my favorite stories from a large book and my mom would act it out. She would do different voices and sound effects and would bring it to life. That is what audio storytelling reminded me […]

Using host characters, create different themes and build a story around their themes. As each character is introduced, something new happens in the story.  For instance, my host is La Noir and her theme is wind. That section would include … Continue reading →

To create this story I used sounds of: birds chirping, wind, leaves rustling, thunder, lightening, rain, and birds chirping after rain. Each sound was playing at different times during the recording. p.s. my microphone is awful!

Thinking of ideas for a radio show was ruff.

For today’s daily create (9/24/15) we were supposed to juxtaposition something new into this old print. My first thoughts were of the Narnia battle so I added protagonist a into it.

Truth be told, audio is an extremely crucial part of storytelling in my opinion. Why do I say that? Ambience. When I imagine someone telling a story, some concepts are better perceived when heard. For example, someone’s voice can sometimes give insight into their character through intonation, inflection and pauses while speaking. In addition to … Continue reading Audio in Storytelling →

Blair is my host character for this semester.  As you all may know Blair is currently unemployed due to past trauma that she has encountered.  Blair has a morning routine which she faithfully follows on an everyday basis.  I have recorded sounds from Blair’s morning routine to share with you all.  Try to guess what […]

Well… this was an interesting challenge or shall I say opportunity. After downloading Audacity and watching a YouTube video, I searched for some jazzy music and chose Miles Davis’ Pharaoh’s Dance. After a few trial and errors… I was able … Continue reading →

A couple of ideas that I had for my radio show include: Myself, playing myself, as a host that introduces scary stories or people who’d like to tell them. Simple, but effective. I could spend a part of the week looking up stories to read and practicing before shows with groupmates. Another option might be … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas →
