Radio Bumper
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I used https://freesound.org again to find a background sound. Then I transferred it over to Audacity, and recorded my part of the radio bumper. I can’t always think of what to say for a radio bumper, I usually go through like 10 different scripts before I find the right one and still this doesn’t even feel right. But I will say, I do enjoy making these audio assignments, like a lot. It’s super fun to make things that I’ve only been listening to my entire life; I just never knew how people made them.
Radio 7 Sound Effects
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I really liked doing this because it is kind of it’s own promo. I used sound effects from https://freesound.org and Audacity. I wanted to find sound effects that related to our radio show. I looked up the specific sounds I wanted, and imported them into Audacity. I messed around with each sound because some were louder than others. I also messed with the envelope tool. I think all of the sounds flow nicely together, and they each add their own meaning to it.
Charlie Chaplin: The Lion’s Cage Foley Sounds!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
As my birthday is in February, I was tasked with creating Foley sounds for the actions between 00:30 and 01:00 in Charlie Chaplin’s The Lion’s Cage. Some of the sounds were tough to create with just my body and the items I found around me, but overall I feel like I accurately recreated all the sounds of the clip. I identified seven main sounds that I needed to create for the segment: the handkerchief swish, Chaplin’s footsteps, the door opening, the tiger’s roar, the door slamming shut, the lion’s tail swishing, and the water spilling. The first sound, the handkerchief, ...
“Where Will You Be When..?” Disaster Insurance Commercial
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Fitting with the theme of our radio show “Where Were You When..?”, I created a commercial for disaster insurance titled “Where Will You Be When..?”. The premise of our show is about our experiences surrounding various events, and this commercial fits into that theme by offering listeners a way to protect themselves from various events that could have an adverse effect on their lives. In the commercial, I mention various disasters that the service insures for, such as fire, floods, and raging storms. These are all real disasters that thousands of people around world deal with on a daily basis, and ...
DS106 Radio Bumper: “Where Were You When..?”
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For the DS106 radio show, each group member was tasked with creating their own radio bumper. For my submission, I wanted to try my best to capture the essence of what I intended the show to be: a retelling of important historical events from one’s own perspective. The first two clips feature my voice saying “DS106 Radio” followed by the title of the show “Where Were You When..?”. To start, I layered the clips with the Hard Limiter effect to decrease the sound of my voice, followed by the Amplify effect to increase it. I also utilized the Wahwah (yes, Wahwah) effect to add ...
Autotune Something: Rap Cat!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For the audio assignment Autotune Something, we were tasked with autotuning something that was not normally autotuned. I decided that I would autotune a cat’s meow! The inspiration for this idea came from an old Checker’s commercial that a lot of people probably remember which featured a character known as Rap Cat. I always found this commercial hilarious as a kid and decided to try my best to create a low budget cat rap of my own. I scoured Freesound.org until coming across a sound clip of a woman’s cat meowing at her for nearly a minute, perfect for what I needed. I downloaded and imported ...
Sound Scape: Amusement Park!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I have always loved amusements parks like Disneyland or King’s Dominion since I was little. With this audio assignment, I really tried to capture the feeling of being fully immersed in the sounds and atmosphere that you would expect to find in one of these parks. I incorporated various sounds from common theme park rides such as carousels and roller coasters, but also tried my best to include the ambient noise of voices and laughter. The end result is a very idealistic soundscape of an amusement park. I downloaded the sound effects used in this assignment from www.Freesound.org, and compiled them ...
Picante Radio: “Where were you when…?” + My Contribution
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For our radio show “Where were you when…?”, each group member will be telling their experiences before, during, and after major events (real or fictional) throughout history. I chose this idea as my favorite after a brainstorming session, and after pitching it to my group members we decided that it would be our theme. There are so many possible stories that could be told, and countless different perspectives for those stories! We plan to tell our stories from the first person perspective, even if our story is about an event that we did not actually experience. For my personal segment, I ...

WOW! I had a lot of fun with anagahama’s audio assignment called Multipersonality! [4/10] For this audio assignment,you had to pretend that you are three to four persons having a regular conversation. I picked a dinner time scenario because that is what is most familar to me, because I try to be home for most family dinners. For my assignment I used a country gal, her dazed father, and her uptight cranky mother. I had a lot of fun with this. I had to edit a lot out because of laughter but other than that I was able to cut ...
