Summertime Feeling Dramatic Reading Remix

For the audio assignments for this week, I really liked the idea of doing a dramatic reading, but setting it to different music to give it a completely new feel, so I made an assignment for it. For my dramatic reading remix, I did a reading of a cheesy song from my childhood, S Club 7’s “Summertime Feeling,” [embedded below for comparison] but put it to Antonio Vivaldi’s “Summer.”

I used audacity for everything. I decided that I was going to learn to use garageband, but really couldn’t figure it out. I promise I’m not stupid because people keep telling me how easy garageband is, but I already know how to do what I needed on Audacity, so I gave up and used Audacity. I recorded the dramatic reading, and added the music behind it, adjusting the audio so the classical music didn’t overpower the reading.

For this assignment, take a song that you love, and record yourself doing a dramatic reading of the lyrics. Then take another piece of music (obviously without lyrics) and set your dramatic reading to it. This should result in something that sounds very different than the original song. Post both the original song (for comparrison) and your new dramatic reading remix in a blog post.
