I chose a song called Creep by Radiohead. I chose this song because it unique lyrics and I wanted to see if I can make it sound like I am the character from the song. I used soundcloud record to do this assignment. (2 stars)

It was time for me to make a new ringtone for my phone anyway so that’s why I chose this assignment. The song is called What’s Golden by Jurassic Park. I used audacity for this assignment. I cut the first 30 seconds of the song and convert it to MP3 player so I can use

“Find some spam. Could be email spam, could be comment spam, whatever you want. Read it aloud. Make it your own. Try to make sense of it or make it more absurd than it already is.” Oh. Oh, I made it my own. Don’t you worry about that. Nothing more empathetic than a desperate old ...

This was something that I have always wanted to do, and having to do it for school makes it even more exciting! I decided to take the top 5 of my Itunes most played and make it into a ringtone. … Continue reading →

First, I’d just like to thank you for the opportunity to be considered for such a challenging part. I’ve always been a big fan of 50 Cent, so it’s a real honor to even audition to play him. Big ups. I’d like to think that my time in the Royal Shakespeare Company will give me ...

For my first audio assignment I chose to do Movie Voice Machines for 3 stars.  At first I thought audio assignments would be simpler and less time consuming than design, but I could not have been more wrong.  Turns out … Read More →

April Ludgate’s Voicemachine Parks and Recreation is probably one of my all time favorite shows. April Ludgate (played by Aubrey Plaza) is one of my favorite characters on that show. For those of you who haven’t watched: number one, shame … Continue reading →

3 Star Assignment Process I knew from the beginning I wanted to make a voicemail of the legend….wait for it… DARY character known as Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother.

2 Star Process For this video I had to first think of a good idea. I first considered using Harry Potter or possibly the Matrix. However, after sifting through youtube videos I realized the old anime  dragonball z offered some very memorable speeches. The most memorable of which is Goku’s … Continue reading →

1 Star Process Not really too much to report on the process. I already knew how to make a good Hispanic accent, since I am Hispanic ;0. Went to soundcloud and started recording with no real plan. I just said the first words that seemed natural to me and I believe it … Continue reading →
