The sounds I have used so far during my creative process.

Robot Voice Generator (play/download) ― LingoJam

The links I have used so far, despite so much time being poured into to is not getting longer just more detailed.

Just some of the things I have been doing, messing with audio and visuals trying to create something from the ground up with the tools I have. I make the voices with an online software and then take them to audacity to tweak then in an attempt to add more emotions behind them through pitch and volume control. I try to fill in the gaps with sounds and visuals to express things momentary loss of sanity and excitement. I am trying to do everything at once for the sake of timing since I am doing my best not to be a perfectionist and over stress about it. I simply need to get my message across first and foremost.

But uh I have been going from free sound. audacity and Canva for the last week now trying to develop my work further.

Since it’s already Thursday and I have just so much other work to do I did not get the chance to post earlier in the week.

Trailer For Final

I felt inspired by my stabby baby. I admit I rerolled after I got a river fish…I was like whaaaa that’s dinner not a pet. I used picrew for my spy, it was an interesting name reminded me of those British spies with the round table names. As for the one for today I hear that quite a bit so seemed right to give it a deeper meaning. I am all for chaos. Anarchy and what not, civil disobedience boo yaa. Maybe that’s just because I am young. This week I also worked on my trailer for the project it came out cutely but as I work more the further away, I seem to stray from being a cute ai to something eviler. Still not all AI is bad y’all they were programmed with a task and there for are simply there to complete it. Who are we to give labels like good and bad when we are the problem. Me and Canva are busy being besties as I am and move audios and clips and scenes.

Trying to avoid photoshop but if I will go even deeper!

Trailer For Final

For this project I used 3 sources a Canva was the main source where I did my best to bring my character to life. Even if it doesn’t have any warmth or a pulse. For my final project I plan to create a story about an Ai that gains ‘life’ an awareness of its existence and what it may mean in the world. To explain it is a young life that has been created like a baby. Not fully fleshed out yet but that’s what the next few weeks are for!

I really wanted to make it smoother however I am not a professional animator, so I am not going to stress about it. Still another thing is that I wished I centered it better, but I forgot my computer sits to the side, so it only seemed center till I UPLOADED IT ;-; Aside from that I like how the sounds came out. I used iMovie and had a select few options but with volume control and clipping it came out just right!

ALSO

MIKU BLUE

Ahahaha that is the vibe here!

I made it in Canva like I said using shapes and animation affects to bring it to life. It’s simple but each movement is me staring at the screen wondering how tiny a frame can be before I can click on it. Unlike Audacity I can’t just zoom in.

Still I overall liked how it came out could’ve used more sounds but still really good in my books.

The daily creates for this week was nice. I realized I enjoy dark humor

lol because what was I thinking with that ear thing! For two of these

I used Canva to create them and then for the April on I just looked for

whoopi cushion images to edit, there is a weird amount to be honest.

Days of Crime and Roses

I enjoyed listening to Days of Crimes and Roses and can’t help but wonder if they will be doing a Final together, I just know the project would come out great. Regardless this was a good breather after two weeks of stress. All three of them did a great job and if the radio show wasn’t at my bedtime I would’ve listened to more. Hopefully I run into them when I am commenting!

Now then my weekly words of wisdom sleep and eat because it’s proof we have survived my comrades!

Days of Crime and Roses

Let’s get into today’s case.

Days of Crime and Roses is a podcast that focuses on true crime stories, with multiple hosts sharing their experiences. The podcast creates a specific atmosphere through narration of the cases, like Lynn’s emotional connection to the missing persons in Montana creates an emotional resonance. Jasper’s dramatic storytelling about Grayson Cole and the “Rebirth Incident” captivates the audience with a cautionary tale. The consistent introduction and outro music contribute to branding and listener recognition. The variety in hosts’ approaches within “Days of Crime and Roses” suggests an awareness of appealing to a diverse audience.

Crime and roses had an interesting take that reminded me of the last time we listened to the Ds106 radio for a crime podcast. Super cute how they all said crime at the same time. Aside from that overall love how it came out. I couldn’t appreciate the extra sounds that, but I could hear the emotions in their voices as they told the stories. It’s nice to hear that they mentioned wanting to hear more background sounds too. I can image how much more immersive that would have felt rather than just an interesting listen. Still, it was enjoyable, and I can hear the Limestone inspiration.

Well, when it came to listening to my own show I really listened to all the mistakes that make me wanna pull my hair out and gag. Some of them were so bad I am shocked no one said anything ;-; wahhhhh. Anyway, overall, the same feeling I get when I hear my own voice. ew ew ew eweweweweweweweweweew. That’s how I feel.

Week Summary 10

Radio Show Week 2 – Flower Bed

Daily Creates – Flower Bed

The week is over, yet I cannot rest sigh oh well might as well work hard then I guess bleh bleh. Been a busy week and there were lots to get done. I really don’t know I am running on empty at the moment and don’t want to think anymore. I did stuff yes, my memory isn’t good, but I was stressed for a week and now I just too tried to care or bother retaining those stressful memories. So here we are did the radio project and honestly just 👀more blehs. Please reference my posts for work complete, I made sure to pull together the group and offer avenues for communication helping with delegating and references items provided to give information when needed, keeping track of tasks and items that had to be completed as well as doing my best to keep up with set deadlines while offering once again ways to keep everyone in the loop. Learned that trying to work an audacity file together may break it bummer but making sure to make the best of tools available like google drive. Offered content that could be used to further the project even if it wasn’t utilized and made sure to offer not only my opinion but my professional outlook. Asked questions to create a world and kept track of whatever was needed. Held my tongue when necessary and spoke when I needed to. Understood communication styles and made sure to reflect that preference when I had to. That’s just people 💩. As for technical work I aided in writing the script offering character suggestions and sound suggestions found tools that everyone could utilize to lessen the burden and took on an extra load when needed.

I keep receipts so if you need proof of things feel free to ask. I played my part and have learned to stop there why push yourself to tears when other lean back that’s just general reflection shit ps…

(issue from another group project gave serios trust issues) No individual grades in a group project, well some teachers do that those make me feel a tad better when I see people who do the least and think they can get off Scott free.

Me and Audacity are still enemies despite spending so much time together. Hint for next time, if finish arranging something and have to add more JUST RESTART IT DUDE DON’T TRY TO GO LINE BY LINE TRYING TO MOVE AND ADJUST EVERYTHING AGGHHH if my hair wasn’t so thick it would be falling out after doing that. PLUS, IT’S AUDIO AND MY HARD OF HEARING SELF HAD TO REPEAT THINGS LIKE 5 TIMES TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS BEING SAID WAHHH I NEED CAPTIONS TO BREATHHH. Anyway, there’s what I did this week. How was your week. Good I hope

Radio Show Week 2

Welcome foolish travelers you are enter the mind of an all pronoun It with Add and Adhd who is on their period and sleep deprived turn back nowww.

Well, I will make this awfully clear I hate group projects. I will not apologize for that.

If it wasn’t literally part of the grade to work together I would do it all myself just avoid the stress projects like this bring me.

A. I am full of it B. I expect too much C. I really just want to sleep D. I am a hypocrite

So far, I was meant to arrange the audio it should have been done Wednesday but it’s not done yet. AHAHA I am gonna punch the wall. Lawyer talk, due to external issues I have been unable to complete the task originally assigned to me. Leading to an altered timeline that will affect the overall performance. Despite the agreed upon approach there appeared to be a moment of miscommunication causing the current predicament.

Aka WTF MF WTH WAYEBA SWMPTAJGBIH No it’s not gibberish, anyway I was tasked with arranging the audios into a good pace and fixing the sound, thought I would take a day at most and it did then I noticed the issue it was not long enough, the people in charge of after production things would not be able to extend the time so me and Nairah worked hard to extend the script that she did originally and I have to go back and rearrange everything though I know when they add effects it will be moved again I still do my best. I look forwards to hearing how Antonio and Azrael really give our story life. Never heard of an M4A before today yet here we are. Wonderful don’t you think?

As for my contributions I also did quite a bit the first week Radio Show Progress – Flower Bed thought I could get things done quickly but I put a weird amount of effort into it. Let me show the sites I’ve used just to record.

AI Voice Cloning Tool (Free & No Login)

Oblivion University

Narakeet – Easily Create Voiceovers and Narrated Videos Using Realistic Text to Speech!

Dr. O is a fighter, so I ended up having to clone his voice to get what I needed.

——————

New day new progress, after work and bad interviews the last thing I want to think about is a project still gotta do it anyway. Why do I feel the urge to cry groan just gotta stay awake for 5 more hours we got thisssss. The due date is here and like with pregnancy ya gotta keep pushing kiddos.

Busy week huh~ bad time to have cramps honestly trying not to spin out or cry is a pain plus I’m in pain. So my posts were filled with emotion this week. Ah my aching uterus just gonna crumple up in bed and do what I can. This week’s daily creates were nice the Dustim is my fave so fun!!!! Reminded me of Thisissand but more complicated. As for the second one I had a more heartwarming approach since I recently lost a loved one just because they are gone doesn’t mean you stop loving them.

How I made my jellyfish god idek it was pure luck that lining up the poles and adding certain weights and gravity made. I knew the whole time I wanted a jelly fish though. As for the heart something nice and easily made in Canva spent more time listing my favorite people.

What

a

week

…

Lots of things to get done and not a lot of time and there is still more to do next week. Of course, that is going to be just as time consuming, but I will do my best to work hard. The content this week was just me glaring at Audacity wondering what I was doing wrong and pressing the undo button again. If I could alter it to dark mode perhaps my eyes would hurt less. The light never hurt more after staring at a screen all day do, they bleh. I have been taught if I don’t have anything nice to say just don’t say it so I shall keep my mouth zipped and just grumble under my breath. I am just not a fan of group anything since no one is paying me. I call what I do secretary work yes; I could make and plan everything but why should I? the word group is in the name. I am a control freak with time anxiety not a great combo. Still, I have learned to treat people like they are adults and have learned to take a step back and let it happen. Some time it goes well other times it may not but as long as I can see people are trying it’s all cool.

There has been progress here and there almost everywhere, now tis time for the moon to rise and for me to follow the sun and go down for the night

Also learned how to add gifs from Giphy

Radio Show Progress

I gave myself a few tasks to pull together the project, making an ad radio bumper, intro music, and background music. In my eyes that’s not too much since it’s not like I have to get it all done in one day. If I had my way it would be an item a day but, my schedule does not allow such willfulness. These are the items I have made so far for the project.

Quite a bit of stuff honestly, I work hard for the sake of resting later! I really struggle with audio assignments overall, so I am feeling drained had more fun just using Canva it was nice. Next up is recording dialogue and adding any needed effects. Hope it comes out well. All of these have their own story and own effort, and I am sure my group mates are working just as hard.
