Get creative and create your own sounds or select an instrumental from Youtube or any other source that represents you well. If you are going the youtube route, remember to use VidtoMp3.

Be sure to pitch shift so that even though the track is longer, it doesn't become just a low pitched version (think of the sound used in a slow-mo moment of someone yelling Nooooooo). Here are a couple of suggested task ...

As demonstrated by the Movies Mashup episode of the radio show The Truth, take two different movies and extract the dialogues scenes of actors form each, then re-edit them to create a story as if the characters from different movies were in the same conversation. Listen to examples from the show including The Terminator and Legally Blonde ("Terminally Blonde") and from the TV shows that become "The Sopranos in the West Wing."
