_cokwr: Solicit an uninteresting story from a family member or friend. It is your task to try and make the anecdote as interesting for your listener as possible. When you post your story, reflect on the (un)interestingness of the story and why you believe it actually was worth telling. In other words, you are to record an uninteresting story and do everything in your power to make it interesting. , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/400/stories-pitched-by-our-parents, _chk2m: Jim Groom (via Martha), _ciyn3: 69, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments69, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials69

_cokwr: You've heard Carl Sagan. You've heard Bed Intruder. You've even heard Gardner Campbell autotuned. Now it's your turn.

_cokwr: Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don;t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke focusing on pronunciation and try to make it sound as natural as you can with appropriate vocal inflections. Add a (cc) music track underneath (maybe from jamendo.com) and a laugh track (soungle.com is a good source) at the end. , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://allthingsaudio.wikispaces.com, _chk2m: Darren Kuropatwa, _ciyn3: 77, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments77, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials77

_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. Please properly cite all sources used -- Remember, fair use requires money to use as a defense., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Joe Proffitt, _ciyn3: 152, _ckd7g: AudioAssignments152, _clrrx: AudioAssignments, _cztg3: AudioTutorials152

_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
