http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/voice-morphing-2/ This assignment I used Audacity to morph my voice into something unrecognizable.  I chose to quote Dr. Seuss “Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.” I recorded myself reciting the quote and used the Paulstretch effect to completely change my voice.  I had never used this tool before and it turned ...

This is audio assignment 494, worth 3 stars. It is called “Mainstream Chipmunkd” and the details were: “The object of this assignment is to take a mainstream artist and chipmunk them. As we reflect on our childhoods we realize that all the chipmunks were an awesome bunch and it is really easy to do this ...

I used my “5 Sound Story” as the first recycled media I chose to submit to the ds106phonar dropbox. This was a media file that I created for an assignment that required us to use at least five sound effects … Continue reading →

Sooooo the production of this radio show was pretty crazy and took a lot of coordination, input, and work from every member of the group. Each member of our group worked together to brainstorm ideas for the topic of our … Continue reading →

Audio ‘week’ a time when we cast away our eyes and rely on our ears. This week for me was yet again another week of learning and playing with new software, this time Adobe Audition. It was weird getting use to… and I think the biggest learning process was learning what I could and could not do with it. I can’t dissect the entire audio file to leave only the music or only the vocals with the other completely intact and unaltered because the sounds have already been merged. it’s like photoshop when you are creating the you have the different layers but once you are done with photoshop it flattens it to one single … Continue reading →

For anyone who has ever watched MTV, or any show on television really, you know that Spring Break is a time when people go on vacation, binge drink, dance, party, engage in debauchery, and many other crude and inappropriate behaviors. So what do you think spring break is going to sound like? For me Spring break is just a break from school, nota vacation. I spend spring break at work, directing people at kings dominion into the station and onto the tracks. This is one of the spiels I have to do OVER AND OVER again. (I say this spiel maybe 20-30 times an hour on a busy day. Now before I get a bunch … Continue reading →

Multiple Personality Disorder, often misclassified as Schizophrenia, is a mental disorder in which a person has multiple persons living inside of them, each with their own individuality, thoughts and behaviors. In this assignment we were to make a sort of skit where we pretended to be be different people. I wondered for a good while, as I was completing other homework for the week, what I would say in this conversation with myself. I came up with the idea to take a post on facebook where a conversation was being held (I always hated when people would start having conversations on my facebook status) and acted it out, it’s a scene where one of my friends … Continue reading →

A familiar sound in my room, pretty annoying to everyone else. It’s the ticking of my wall clock, a sound I never noticed until I had my boyfriend stay the night. It kept us both up at night once it was pointed out to me, it is an easy fix though all I need to do is turn on my fan (which has a timer so I can fall asleep before it goes off without having to have it on all night). It’s almost like Captain Hooks ticking croke clock.What I really wanted to do for this project was this awful Howling sound the dogs make whenever my sister leaves … Continue reading →

After Alvin and the Chipmunks there became a whole new set of replaying songs at higher speeds which make the vocals seem higher pitched. I use to do this all the time especially on my dads old record player (it was the only thing I could find that would actually play things at different tempos. This was actually quite the task for me even though it shouldn’t have really been that hard, I decided that since I was so fond of Adobe’s Photoshop that I would love Audition, their audio editing software, but it was actually quite a pain to us. Though to be honest photoshop was difficult at first too … Continue reading →

Ready for a fun Audio Assignment? Because when I saw this, I knew exactly which artist I wanted to use. The assignment was called “Mainstream Chipmunk’d“, and we were  supposed to take a mainstream song and make it sound like a chipmunk is singing it. If you’ve never heard of Alvin and the Chipmunks…you may want to read up and listen to some of their tunes! Anyways, I chose to pick a song, that isn’t necessarily mainstream now, but more like 1958! This may seem totally wrong and horrible, but I decided to chipmunk Frank Sinatra’s Come Fly With Me!! So I created this by using Fastest Youtube Downloader to … Continue reading →

On of my favorite movies to quote is The Grinch . The cartoon movie isn’t as funny as the Jim Carry version. I don’t know why but I just think JIm Carry is so funny in that movie with all … Continue reading →

I’ve already done a radio bumper for the radio bumper assignment, but this was the one for our radio show. I like this one better because it is “themed.” I can’t find the original sounds from freesound, of course. But … Continue reading →

I rarely keep anything that I don’t use.  I don’t have enough memory space for keeping junk, and my process of creating is often to scrap as I go.  The files I sent in are jpgs, png, and mp3.  One is a simple image that I created not for any assignments, another is for a ...

A 1-star Poetry Reading assignment: Poetry is meant to be read aloud. Select a poem – it can be a personal favorite or one you find randomly – and read it aloud in a way that itself makes it a story. Then at the ending of that poem extend it or connect it to a story ...

I actually came across this assignment when pushing the random assignment button in the assignment bank. I only need two more stars to complete my 10 for the week and was looking for something simple and fun to do. I came across The Contest Nobody Could Win. The title didn’t really make sense to me ...
