_cokwr: Using Audacity, trim, join end-to-end (cut/paste), and/or play side-by-side audio files in order to create your very own ringtone. Ringtones should be a maximum or 40 seconds to conserve phone memory (besides, most cell phones don't ring longer than 30 seconds or so...the extra 10 seconds is just in case). Be creative, you might want to actually use it on your phone.

_cokwr: Choose any written material (a song, poem, short book, excerpt from a novel, scene from a television show, news article, etc.) and record a dramatic reading. Read your selection in a way that alters the message of the original material (at an odd pace, overly excited, sad, etc. -- be creative, make it your own). Make sure you mention what it is you are reading, and who the author of the material is., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Chris Randles, _ciyn3: 112, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments112, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials112

_cokwr: Like some people use special whistles to attract birds, your task is to create an 30 second or less audio file that might be used to “call” a particular character from a movie, tv, or real life. It cannot feature voices, but sounds only (try http://freesounds.org). Write a description why this sound would be attractive to the character, why it would be effective (be inventive, write a story about it). , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://cogdogblog.com/2011/10/16/dr-oliver-bird-call/, _chk2m: CogDog, _ciyn3: 193, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments193, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials193

_cokwr: First of all, see this following link (assignment introduced by mome). http://ds106.us/2011/10/16/1-quote-a-day/ Quotes could be nice only by its own, but it might go further when it went beyond written words. Read your quote for a day out loud, and record it! Do not forget to give an appropriate feeling to it. Tone of voice could be a helpful hint for answerers to guess where your quote came from. Mimicking the original tone could be nice enough, but you also can add your own feelings to it as well. :), _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://morita-tuj.blogspot.com/2011/11/based-on-1qad-part12-soundcloud-direct.html, _chk2m: Rimi 'Kookaburra' Morita, _ciyn3: 210, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments210, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials210

_cokwr: Come up with an hour-long, themed show for #ds106 Radio that you both conceptualize and produce, then deliver on-the-air live over. It can be an ongoing show, or a one-time affair., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Jim Groom, _ciyn3: 38, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments38, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials38

_cokwr: Create a voice mail message for a character in a film or tv show.

_cokwr: My memories fade over time, but sometimes there is a song that can take me back to a place that revives the memories of my past. The song allows me to remember things I thought I had forgotten. So, for an assignment, pick a song that does that for you, and tell some stories about what you remember. An example for me would be to pick a song off of the Journey "Escape" album, and talk about the summer job I had cutting the grass for my high school the summer before my senior year. The smells, the grease, the noise, the sunburn, the boredom, the friends. In the assignment you might want to mix your voice over parts of the song, give an intro, tell the story first and play the song, break up the song with the story - lots of options. But nothing too long - my attention span is short. These would be great to post on ds106 radio., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Jerry, _ciyn3: 75, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments75, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials75
