I end my one-night trilogy on a high note, as I earn my final two stars for this week by making my own personal “tagline,” in the same vein as the characters from the Real Housewives franchise; this is a series of reality shows that first debuted on the cable network, Bravo, in 2006, with the premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and since then has had six spin-offs in the U.S. alone, and six more around the world. The tagline I chose reflects both the intellectual and hard-working sides of my personality, by referencing the opening words of the monologue from Act II, Scene VII, of the William Shakespeare play, As You Like It, while also implying that I put as much effort as humanly possible into my assignments, allowing all of my resulting performances to be memorable, for better or worse.

For this assignment, I had to create an audio tagline that represented me if I were on Real Housewives.

This was my first ever audio assignment, and I was learning how to use Audacity. I first recorded myself, then I had to export it to SoundCloud. It was pretty easy. I was nervous at first, and it was a little weird to hear my own voice being played back.

I liked this assignment because I have watched many Real Housewive shows! I tried to remember the tag lines that they have used in the past, which were all sassy and short. So, I made mine the same. I like to think that I can be the life of the party or just the life of a room! I like to cheer people up when the mood is mediocre.
