This week was quite a challenge. After starting off by watching the videos on audio storytelling by Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad, I started to grasp what this week would be about and some of the things that would be in store. I thought listening to the radio stories was an even better experience and […]

Alright so my task was to reverse a song, and create a quiz to try and have people guess it. I edited this song using Audacity, take a listen to the song below and I hope you enjoy the quiz.... Continue Reading →

From Glass and Abumrad I learned you have to keep the …

This week has actually been the only week since this semester started that I actually knew what I was doing. Mostly because I had a talk with professor Pollack and she helped me figure out what the course was about and how to do the assignment. Even though I still feel a bit nervous about the […]

I added my photo to flickr and posted this daily create a while ago, but some how or another I did not post an actually entry for the daily create. So here are my darling cats in all their glory! They are the closest thing to children I have, and its going to stay that […]

I listened to the ds106 radio with 14 other participants and the whole entire time they played classical music. Listening to some classics on#ds106radio @youcanimagethis @ds106 — carmelia dalmeida (@camie_frenchie) September 21, 2014 At one point someone came to talk but the person only introduce Bob French and I had to listen to that fr […]

This week has flown by like all the others. Oddly enough, I was excited for audio. Audio has always been something I’ve enjoyed and been interesting in. For me I do not like doing visual things of myself like videos, audio always me to put myself and work out there behind the privacy of my […]

So, the first audio assignment I decided to do is the sound effect story. Essentially the task is to tell a story using all sound effects, and I chose to do a scary story. To accomplish this I used Audacity... Continue Reading →

For this audio assignment which you see the instructions here, I made an audio recording to mimic the sound of a storm at night. I only used my voice to emulate. The first part is to mimic what I heard when a heavy rain hit the screen to my window. …

What do you call two 21-year old college students working in the ITCC on a Saturday night? DS106. This week was a little rough, I will admit. The easy assignment from last week spoiled me, and the audio assignments were… Continue Reading →

I love Ira Glass. I find him witty, hysterical, and endlessly entertaining. As I have discovered through this assignment, he is also full of much needed wisdom. In this video, Glass talks about the basic necessities of a radio program: telling… Continue Reading →

This week, I set aside time to listen to DS106 Radio! I had no idea that was a thing, until this week. It’s definitely cool that this class has it’s own radio since this is where we’re learning the techniques… Continue Reading →

This was a pretty fun task. After getting to know Audacity in trying to make the radio bumper the storytelling assignment was a lot easier. I did have trouble thinking of a story to tell but I ended up doing a simple tale on fishing. The task of starting the car, driving to the spot, […]

For one of my audio assignments I created a audio clip of a fake 911 call. You can view the full assignment here. I feel like this situation has probably actually happened. People are always calling about trivial things or just plain calling by mistake. I imagined in this situation, …

I really enjoyed getting a chance to listen to a full story. It was nice to sit down, relax, and listen rather than watch. I chose to listen to “How I Got Into College” on thisamericanlife.org. I’d never been on… Continue Reading →

I think the concept of ds106 radio is fascinating. It is not a full out radio station like you would think. It reminds me of listening to 30 minutes of nonstop radio and then instead of a commercial after those 30 minutes you listen to a broadcast about something interesting like such as the life […]

First assignment: http://www.kelsyminnick.com/uncategorized/audio-only-storytelling/ I learned a lot about the difference of storytelling I learned in high school (and also wrote about last week) compared to what makes audio storytelling what it is. I learned from Ira Glass, that the two main things needed in an audio story are a series of actions that holds peoples attention […]

This was a tricky one. After downloading Audacity and getting down to business I encountered more than a few difficulties in splicing and overlaying words with music. However, with a little bit of work I figured it out. I wanted to go with something pretty chill so I chose a song called Original Sin by […]

For todays daily create, which you can view the assignment here, I chose to make a GIF to represent how to do a burpee. I thought this was pretty funny, because its taking a burpee too far. At this point its almost parkour. Don’t get me wrong I’m very impressed …

I chose a 2 star and a 3 star audio assignment to do. It was difficult because I have problems understanding and downloading the software that was suggested we use and so I played around with some other stuff. I couldn’t really think of a nursery rhyme or anything specific to do my story of […]

Well, it looks like yet another week is down!  Coming into this week I was a little apprehensive as I have never really worked with audio in the past and was worried how my assignments were going to turn out.  After diving into my first assignment I realized that it was a lot easier than...

I listened to the podcast from RadioLab labeled Talking to Machines. I have to admit it was a very odd style. I personally found it distracting and a bit overbearing. They introduced various background music, sound effects, and odd transitions. They constantly despite what was going on kept some form of background music …

This week was pretty eventful to say the least. I learned a lot, especially in terms of audio and radio. I started out by listening to Ira Glass’ video and I thought that was very motivational. He put […]

The title doppelgangers stood out to me right off the bat when I was choosing a video to watch. I was not expecting the video to turn into an SNL skit, that to me was a nice surprise. Doppelgangers brought in Fred Armisen, as there guest. Armisen then proceded to make a mockery out of […]

First off I think audio is really important because without it, we  could misunderstand the message that is being transmitted to us. It conveys the message and the purpose so clearly. Even though images are important, sometimes for you to focus solely on the message and the information, images have to be taken out. It […]

For my greatest hits, I did my best to mash together songs about love and loss by Tegan and Sara. I chose them because a lot of their songs have similar sounds so they would be easier to put together. As well as the fact that I already had numerous amounts of there songs downloaded. It does not sound quite the […]

I decided to listen to three movies from The Truth. The first story I listened to was called Cold Read. Right off the bat, It felt like a scene straight out of a movie. The conversation between Jonah and Amy … Continue reading →

This week’s summary is coming to you from a prewritten word processing document! WordPress seems to be having some tech troubles, and while the wonderful, computer-oriented crew of ds106 takes a peek into the inner workings of the app, I... Continue Reading →

For my two audio assignments, I decided to do the Car Chase Commentary (3.5 stars) and my attempt on Weather Imitations using only sound effects and things within arm’s reach of myself. Here is the video I used for the Car Chase Commentary (there’s some comms in the background of the video, so I suggest muting […]
