Make Your Own Radio Commercial!


Warning: NSFW.

This one was a little more tricky because I wanted to add more voices and play with more off the features Audacity has to offer. I’m very sorry this Commercial was highly inappropriate but in the moment it seemed like a really good (but bad) idea.

I had to record two pieces of audios in my own voice. The first piece of the audio was about the letting the audience know which radio they were listening to and the second piece was about the advertisement announcement.

I also had to download two sound pieces from SoundBible. One of the sound I used as a beep between the two audio pieces I recorded in my own voice and the second one was a little bit of music I used at the start of the advertisement announcement.

I followed the following steps to create the radio advertisement.

Step 1: I opened Audacity.

Step 2: I recorded the two pieces of announcements in my voice.1

Step 3: I imported the audio clips that I downloaded by clicking the File Menu and then Import.

Step 4: I moved all the audio clips to the series where I wanted them to play from the “Time Shift Tools”

Step 5: I selected the music layer and added a “Fade Out” effect to it from “Effects Menu”

Step 6: To save the prepared audio clip, I exported it in mp3 form from the file menu and saved it to my computer’s hard drive.

So if “Screw On” Toupees Were a Thing…

So this is just silly. Put some decent work into it but had a lot of fun. Played with the pitch of my voice just to see if I could sound more showman like… it worked I think. Listen to what I’ve down already and listen to this and I’m certain you can tell the difference. Even my kids asked, “Woah, Daddy! Is that you?”

Make Your Own Radio Commercial!

When you are driving in the car and a radio commercial comes on you might start to tune the radio out. But, if you were the person selling what the commercial was offering would you want people tuning it out or listening intently? Well, I would want people paying attention to my commercial! So, for this audio assignment pick a product or business you would like to promote and sell! Use a audio recording software such as soundcloud to record your commercial. Add in background music, edits, and provide full information of the business/product/services you are advertising. Try to create a radio commercial that grabs and maintains the audiences’ attention. On the side, write why you chose the object or business you are promoting and the process you used to create your commercial.
