My group and I have had sort of a slow start to our radio show. We were in communication via email but nothing further until recently I created a group chat via Messages with everyone’s numbers. With that being said besides a description we don’t have anything else solidified at this very moment.
Individually, through my audio assignments I have created an intro and an intermission for the radio show! Additionally, I have come up with a name for it, Film Fanatics & Fictional Friends. Once we are all in better touch with each other I will be sharing those with the group.
Overall, the progress is not much, therefore there is not much process to expand on. However, I’m sure with everyone’s individual audio assignments based on the radio show, we will have much more when we come together!
The assignment description asks to create a 30-45 second radio commercial for a product from the 80’s. I bent this rule to apply to our group’s radio show by creating a commercial for Rikaro’s company, PrimalTech. Since Rikaro has a skill for applying advanced technology into military weapons and armory, I wanted him to promote new weapons and concepts that will implement AI into them. It has a subtle hint of Rikaro ignoring the consequences of his ideas, since it’s in line with his character.
this is what I did for the week! I was pretty busy disscussing with my group and other things but I think this week was pretty sucessful for me with learning and being able to communicate with other peer from the class is really fun!
As the week continues me and my group are making good progress on our radio show. We have some radio bumpers made as well as different intros made, so we can pick and choose which one we like the best for our radio show. We haven’t recorded anything yet, but our plan is to lay out all of our information we are going to talk about. Each person in the group is going to talk about their character and their day in the life as we all have different types of characters. Our plan is to use Audacity to record all our radio show and incorporate radio bumpers, an introduction, and potential incorporate ads throughout the show. We haven’t run into too much trouble yet, knock on wood. However, if we do, I am confident our group can figure out a solution to any issues that arise. I am excited to see how this radio show comes out. This is my first time creating one and I’m a little nervous but also very excited. Stay tuned for our finished product.
So far this week me and my group haven’t started my “group” work I’d say. Its more individual preparing but group messaging, which has been going fine. I’m not really good with this AI stuff or technology so I think my role will end up being a helper to the more competent ones and that’s fine with me. Some people have made commercials and bumpers, and we have a name and fundamental idea of what we want to do. I’m pretty easy to work with but I have to say, I am not really a fan of online group work. It’s hard to do for obvious reasons. But other than that, I have no problems and look forward to the upcoming weeks! Ciao!
This our introduction to our radio show. Creating this was simple. My first step was to find background music on Pixabay.com. Next using elevenlabs.io, an AI text to speech, I wrote my script for the introduction. Once both were complete, I downloaded both and uploaded them to Audacity and meshed them together. Here are the results. hope you enjoy!
For my second audio assignment, I decided to create my own! I called it the Radio Show Intermission and here is the description I put for it: “Radio Show Intermission” is a lively and engaging break in your listening experience to offer a refreshing pause between discussions. Add a short line of text to captivate your audience and ensure that they stay past the break. Add some sound as well and make it to your liking with whatever theme best suits your show.
The process for creating an assignment was pretty easy! I added my SoundCloud link to what I created and included the following as the thumbnail image:
I choose this image because the sound just gave me this type of vibe plus it incorporates my character and I’s love for cats!
Now here is how I would do a radio show intermission:
To start it off I chose a simple yet intriguing sound from Pixabay, this is the part that made me chose a cat being a dj for the thumbnail picture.
Next I have the following text in my sound: Take a breather (In German) Take a breather and enjoy the groove during our Radio Show Intermission, where the beats keep you company until we return with more awesome tunes and engaging conversations! (English) I used “take a breather” twice in there to emphasize the purpose of this intermission which is to take a quick break. The first time it’s said, is in the language German. My character Chuckles, is from Switzerland, where a majority speak German, so I added that touch for him. By using an AI text-to-speech generator, I generated the rest of the text via English.
Finally, I have the incorporation of my second and last sound which is also from Pixabay. For this I know I wanted something with a beat drop near the end since my text mentions that you should enjoy this beat during the quick break. Additionally, I needed a sound where I could easily transition from the first one without having an awkward pause in between. The exact spot where I made the song change was at the word “groove” and I think it turned out really well!
I really hope all listeners enjoy this intermission I created as I really love it!
I talked to Dr. Oblivion and made a small radio commercial for our show! I think these were fun to do and very experimental! I hope I did okay! I wanted to talk to Dr. Oblivion for some advise on how to do a radio show. I think his advise was super helpful though!
This is our radio bumper for our radio show. The process of creating this was simple. My first step was to find background music using pixabay.com. Next, I used elevenlabs.io, an AI text to speech, to write the script for the bumper. after both were complete, I downloaded both and uploaded to Audacity and meshed the two together. This is the final product, hope you enjoy!
For our upcoming radio show, Three Point Chatter, my classmates and I have decided to incorporate AI by representing the lives of different characters. Thus far we have met several times and really dove in on how we will piece the show together. I feel that my partners for this project are well in tune with what is going on and very up-to-date on current assignments that are needed to complete a full-finished show. We have listed our characters hobbies down on what they do, where they are from, and possibly where they all meet up. It is going to be fun to create content to support our themes with the amount of ideas we have.
