Dramatic Reading Remix

This assignment was worth 4.5 Stars. I used the song “My Adidas” by Run-D.M.C because I thought it fit well with the idea that Jane Smith, the character we will be using for our radio hour has super speed.

I quit my dreaming the moment that I found you.

For my dramatic reading remix, I decided to take the lyrics of Angel Olsen’s “Unfucktheworld” and read them over Death Grips “Runway Y”.

The original is a melancholic song that’s played over the strumming of a guitar. Placing the lyrics over a hip-hop/industrial track changes the tone from sad …

Put the Gun Down Song Reading

Poetry Slam

I thought this assignment was HILARIOUS!!! When I saw it I knew I had to do it. The hardest part was matching up the words and the background music. I chose the song “Shake it Off,” of course because it’s a Taylor Swift song. It was hard not to talk …

Dramatically Britney

The “dramatic reading remix” assignment (3.5 pts) was interesting because I had to think hard about the lyrics to some of my favorite songs. I always thought dramatic readings of song lyrics was cheesy, but adding instrumental music underneath the reading made it sound natural and powerful. I …

Not Afraid – Dramtic Reading

Not Afraid by Eminem. Spoken but not rapped. Put to a sick beat by Dope Gangsta.

Up Up Up.

 

Never ever thought I’d be able to craft such utter beauty.

I can’t even think of anything else to say other than this class is bringing out the wonderfulness in me and I never expected this in a million years.

I did not really think I would do well …

Stranger in the Night

Victoire Absinthe closed her eyes as the rocking of the train and the gentle, familiar pulse of the engines pushed her further away from her past. In the background she heard Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra… Once upon a time she had loved that song. She and Phillip…
