Good Morning @ds106 !!!

So it should be very apparent where I drew my inspiration for this assignment. If it is not, please watch this movie, Good Morning, Vietnam! I had fun making this intro, although to say it put me outside my comfort would be an understatement.
I hope that this brought some laughter and helped to add some extra enthusiasm to the listening audience!
This week ought to be a lot of fun!

Here is the actual quote from the movie as well.

“Good morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test. This is rock and roll. Time to rock it from the delta to the DMZ! Is that me, or does that sound like an Elvis Presley movie? Viva Da Nang. Oh, viva, Da Nang. Da Nang me, Da Nang me. Why don’t they get a rope and hang me? Hey, is it a little too early for being that loud? Hey, too late. It’s 0600…”

Just a Taste

To create my radio bumper I used Audacity to layer and mix. It was a bit harder to use than SoundTrap, but it seemed to have more options. I used SoundBible and 101soundboards for the Bob Ross clips. I thought they went with the theme since the radio station is one large canvas of sorts for the ds106 class to express their creativity using sound.

Radio Bumper

Here it is! Took a while and a lot of messing around with Audacity, but here is my radio bumper for DS106 radio!

Create a ds106 radio bumper

Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include “DS106 Radio” and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.
