If your a slightly shy person like myself I suggest you give this audio assignment a shot. Here’s the steps I took to create this.

First I began by going to YouTube to look for some background music. I simply typed in “up beat music instrumentals”. I listened to a couple of different mixes before deciding on the one I wanted to use. Once I found it I paused the part that I wanted to use and turned the volume down low. I did this to give my recording a background music effect.

I then went to SoundCloud to record my good morning message. To do this I clicked the upload option at the top and then selected start new recording. I hit the REC button and began.

Once the recording is finished you can press play and listen to it. If you like it select upload, if not you can simply start over. In my case I had to start over a couple times. Make sure that the background music you chose from YouTube is playing as you record. If you are satisfied with your creation go ahead and upload it. Once you’ve uploaded your message SoundCloud will create an embedded link. Simply paste the link into your blog to share your creation!
