The Family Dinner (Multipersonality Assignment ****)

Hooooo boy, this was a fun one!! I’ve heard of arguing with yourself, but this is ridiculous. This was made for the Multipersonality audio assignment. I made this by using multiple tracks in Garageband and by coming up with voices that suited the sort of “average family” trope where the snobby child refuses to eat his veggies, the mom gets upset, and the father could care less what’s going on. I’ve seriously been watching waaayy too many cartoons. Anyone else think I sound like Louis Griffon from Family Guy?

This scenario reminded me of what my family went through when I was younger; my little brother was the stubborn one who wouldnt eat his greens, and me and him would cause mischief at the table. We’d end up getting sent to our rooms afterward…Good times!

OMG white after labor day.

Another AudioAssignment I chose to do this week was called, Multipersonality, worth 4 stars. I chose this because I thought it would be a fun assignment.  I opened up audacity and went into the File tab and clicked on new template.  I then pressed the record button and acted as if I were different high schoolers in the hallway talking about what a person was wearing.  After each individual I stopped recording and then started a new recording, so each “individual” in the clip had their own section.  I then played around with the pitch and depth to give each individual their own voice/sound to make them distinct.  After I finished editing I went into the File tab and clicked on export, saving the creation as Multipersonality White after Labor Day.  I then opened up soundcloud.com and uploaded the sound clip and added the tags: ds106, laborday, white, AudioAssignments, AudioAssignments91 and multipersonality.

I then had soundcloud make a tweet for the creation…
