When you are driving in the car and a radio commercial comes on you might start to tune the radio out. But, if you were the person selling what the commercial was offering would you want people tuning it out or listening intently? Well, I would want people paying attention to my commercial! So, for this audio assignment pick a product or business you would like to promote and sell! Use a audio recording software such as soundcloud to record your commercial. Add in background music, edits, and provide full information of the business/product/services you are advertising. Try to create a radio commercial that grabs and maintains the audiences’ attention. On the side, write why you chose the object or business you are promoting and the process you used to create your commercial. 

When most people think of cowboys, they also think of an Appalachian dialect. Record yourself saying something (whether it be a monologue, song lyrics, poem, etc.) and replace words such as “you guys” “uh”, a.k.a. typical American space words, with words like “ya’ll” “yee-haw”. Watch as your simple monologue turns into the rooty tooty speech of the West!
