This was so much fun! As a crazy cat lady myself it was fun to play the dog person and the cat person. I love both so it was fun!!!

The assignment wanted you to be two people in one story. So I made a fake podcast with myself and Joann. Again, SO. MUCH. FUN!

All Me in the Scene 3 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/all-me-in-the-scene/

This assignment was to create a story using only my voice for all the roles! I am using this to show what happens to my character Melody when she tries to go the bar for drink and some chaotic solitude.

The first thing I did for this was look up background noise for a bar. I found the audio on youtube and downloaded into a mp3 to use on audacity.

Then I looked up different alcoholic drinks to see what I thought my character Melody Bay would drink.
I decided on a dry martini for my character! After this decision I recorded myself as Melody ordering at the bar.

After this I decided to create a male character, Jess, who will take this opportunity to talk to the famous painter. I used my voice for Jess but changed the pitch to -3 to make it deeper.

The dialogue was improv on my part and I recorded each piece one after another!

This was so embarrassing. I’m able to do accents but the voices of men allude me. I just sound like a really deep voiced woman. My voice is already kind of low so it wasn’t that much of a big deal. But a male Russian? Geez. I pick the worst characters to imitate. I chose to incorporate my noir character in this but this particular scene takes place before my Quentin Tarantino Style Story. It actually takes place a few hours before. I had been meaning to introduce Layla’s father and thought that this would be a perfect assignment to do it in. Why does he have a British accent? Because that one doesn’t sound as terrible when I try to be a man.

All Me in the Scene 3★

I decided to do this scene because I thought it would be fun to recreate a scene from one of my favorite movies. It took me a while to think of a scene I would love to do. When I decided on the scene from It’s A Wonderful Life I knew it would be kind of difficult. James Stewart has a very distinctive voice. I think I kind of made him sound like Little Nicky just a tiny but. It was fun trying to imitate him though. It took a lot of takes, because I kept laughing at my horrible attempts. Donna Reed was a lot easier to do obviously. She has such a pretty voice.

For this assignment I used Audacity to record both Mary and George’s part separately. Then I edited them together by using cut and paste. I learned that there are actually cut and paste butting on the top right of the screen of Audacity. Before I kept having to go to the edit tab.

“All Me In The Scene” was a fun audio assignment where you do all the voices.  In this poem by the great nonsense writer Lewis Carroll, I was the narrator as well as the old man congratulating our hero on a job well done.  I attempted to add some drama, however, it’s not really my […]

Alright here is a short audio clip of the adventurer’s shack. Creating this simply required my mic, my computer’s sound recorder, and a quiet area. I also had to pull to different voices to act out a scene (I’m not too good at making different voices so it might not be the best).

I originally wanted to make a scene based off of a shop that sells various goods to travelling adventurers. The idea comes from a compilation of fantasy junk that basically sits in the back of my head. This is actually more or less like a travelling merchant; you might end up seeing more from the adventurer’s shack one day. Anyways, the primary inspiration comes from various video games where there are travelling merchants dealing with all sorts of adventuring groups. And so we have a merchant dealing with a more, interesting, individual.

Anyways, if you listened to it, let me know what you think about it!

In this audio assignment, I am to reenact a scene in which I play all the characters parts. (3 stars)  I wanted to use an episode from The Wire, so I decided that I would use the episode in which Frank and Nick have a discussion overlooking the port.  This scene is from Season 2 episode 4 called “Hard Cases”.

In order to play the parts of this scene, I had to head out onto the internet to find a website that gives the scripts of so that you can have lines to read.  I found this website that gives you all the parts of the scenes.  Here is the link.  I linked the website directly to the script that I used for my dramatic reading.

Once a had lines to read, I recorded my reading directly into Soundcloud.  Here is my reading of the scene between Frank and Nick Sabotka.  I hope you enjoy..
