_cokwr: For this audio assignment, pretend that you are three to four persons having a regular conversation.

_cokwr: Take six very short fragments (less than one second each) from six different songs and ensemble them into a single piece. Expect others to guess which six songs you have used. Basic rules: 1) do not repeat songs 2) do not use covers (unless the cover is much better than the original, sh*t happens) 3) John Cage's 4'33'' is not a song!!! , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxxEab7nHfE, _chk2m: procsilas, _ciyn3: 89, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments89, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials89

_cokwr: Record yourself reading from a diary/journal/letter you wrote when you were a teenager. Try to capture the emotion and angst of the moment. Add music and sound effects, as appropriate. (Check out one of the TAL segements in the example for an idea of how this might sound.), _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/36/letters, _chk2m: Martha Burtis, _ciyn3: 84, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments84, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials84

_cokwr: This is a variation off of AudioAssignments70: Sound Effects Story, except the main goal of this assignment is to create a story using only sounds (no words) found on the Internet that tells the story of a dream using audio. Restrictions: use only sounds from freesound.org and a max of 2 minutes. Please remember to credit those who you have sampled. Also, please refrain from having 6+ "layers" in a dream. We all know from watching Inception that by that time, you're way beyond the normal dreaming mind constructs and into the subconscious., _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://nogoodadvice.somethingkindaooooh.com/2011/02/18/ds106-fo-lyfe-track-1/, _chk2m: Jordan, Andrew, & Colleen (Krollinghachy), _ciyn3: 73, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments73, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials73

_cokwr: Solicit an uninteresting story from a family member or friend. It is your task to try and make the anecdote as interesting for your listener as possible. When you post your story, reflect on the (un)interestingness of the story and why you believe it actually was worth telling. In other words, you are to record an uninteresting story and do everything in your power to make it interesting. , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/400/stories-pitched-by-our-parents, _chk2m: Jim Groom (via Martha), _ciyn3: 69, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments69, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials69

_cokwr: You've heard Carl Sagan. You've heard Bed Intruder. You've even heard Gardner Campbell autotuned. Now it's your turn. Take something not typically musical and autotune it., _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4C0CBooYBY_YzU5OTYzZTUtNTM5OC00ZWEzLTlmZDgtNzAzZDUxNmZhZmJl&export=download&hl=en_US, _chk2m: Jason Green, _ciyn3: 72, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments72, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials72

_cokwr: Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don;t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke focusing on pronunciation and try to make it sound as natural as you can with appropriate vocal inflections. Add a (cc) music track underneath (maybe from jamendo.com) and a laugh track (soungle.com is a good source) at the end. , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://allthingsaudio.wikispaces.com, _chk2m: Darren Kuropatwa, _ciyn3: 77, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments77, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials77
