A Very Important Message from the Prince of Nigeria
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I’m sure we’ve all received some weird spam, whether it be an urgent email from a fake credit card company, or a job offer for 10k a week. The instructions for the “Taking Back Spam” assignment were to “Find some spam. Could be email spam, could be comment spam, whatever you want. Read it aloud. Make it your own. Try to make sense of it or make it more absurd than it already is.” I decided to go with a classic… an email from the Prince of Nigeria. I found a spam email and recorded a dramatic reading of it ...

For this assignment, I used this Robot Voice Generator to read my spam comments from my blog. I thought it would be interesting to use a robot voice instead of my own voice or a different generator to read spam comments, since spam comments are usually automatically generated by “robots” and usually sound pretty nonsensical. I pasted four spam comments together in the generator and put some spacing between them in Audacity.

This is a spam email I received on my umw email account. I usually receive many of these spam emails and you can easily tell it is fake and spam. Never click on random links from spam emails or you will get your email account hacked.
UMW Spam

I was initially attracted to this assignment due to the sheer amount of spam my UMW email account has become inundated with. I liked the idea of reclaiming these annoying adds/tricks, so I found a poorly phrased piece of spam relegated to the junk section of my email. In recording my reading of the email on Audacity, I was somewhat inspired by phonetic punctuation in that I tried to read the piece somewhat literally. As such, I read the words in all caps with a great deal of emphasis, capitalized words with some emphasis, and words without spaces between them very quickly. ...

????? For my last assignment, I did the assignment where I have to read a spam email out loud. I looked through my school email’s spam folder, and found this gem: These “your account is invalid” phishing emails always have horrendous grammar and spelling. I love them. Anyways, here’s my rendition of it: I think spam emails are really neat, because while the internet has allowed plenty of people to connect with each other, it’s also allowed for scammers to much more easily find targets. They can easily send out massive numbers of emails to try to get people to ...

I took back spam this week. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/taking-back-spam/ My work email is being bombarded by promotions and whatnot we’re doing. They’re things of which I don’t have to be aware. Here’s an example: I used audacity to record myself reading one of the emails I constantly receive. I added on some elevator music to liven up the mood. The result is heard above. This assignment was kind of relieving.

I feel that I am not old enough yet to be getting spam for burial life insurance but I guess I am wrong. I when dumpster diving in my spam folder to find something interesting for an audio creation assignment, that ask I record and transform a piece of spam. Interesting I think I found: Click for audio!

Spam? I have loads of it. In fact, it is starting to make my college e-mail unusable. Good thing I will be rid of it soon… After finding a suitable piece of spam, I decided this would be a good opportunity to develop my character. Low voice, deliberate speech, comically unemotional (very innappropriate for the spam). It was also an opportunity to reinforce the fact that Morlium stalks (resides in?) the internet. I took care to read every word on the page, even the “label” words, both to reinforce the character, and to add to the comic nature of the ...

This was a quick one-star assignment to read spam. I interpreted it in a different way- I read a SPAM radio ad from the ’50s instead. I found the ad here and thought what it would sound like if Delia read it- small-time voice actress and all. After I found the ad, I had to transcribe it. I then found some background music from my iTunes library- it’s Red Velvet by NicolArmafi. I cut it down to be about a minute long and made it very quiet. I then recorded myself reading the ad a few times and picked the one ...

This was a fun little challenge to do as my final audio assignment. I immediately knew I was going to use this strange text message that I received about a week ago offering – at least I think it was offering – a free cruise. I always immediately delete spam, but luckily I screenshotted this particular one, probably to show a friend because I found it so comical. It was fun to actually read this aloud and hear how ridiculous it sounded. I wonder if people creating this spam (if it is people?) realize that this really doesn’t seem very ...
