Let the games begin!

This week i had the opportunity to listen to the broadcast of Noir Games. This was a radio show done by Tyler Flowers, Nairah Killiebrew, Antonio Lewis, and Azrael Fanning. I really liked this idea of a radio show of trivia. I also really liked the surprise of hearing Dr. Oblivion and I also really liked the use of the AI voice for the characters. I think that this group did a great job with the sound aspect of this project. I really liked all of the game show sounds that were added and I think that really helped get in the world of the show. One thing I had noticed, however, is the mixing levels. Some sound effects would be louder than others, though this wasnt a hug issue it was something I noticed. I also heard some longer pauses in the voices towards the end of the show which was interesting in the following of the story. Overall, this was a very entertaining show to listen to!

In terms of hearing my own show broadcasted, it was definitely interesting. I don’t normally like hearing my own voice so editing was a challenge but only I could hear my voice when editing. This time I was hearing my voice AND others were listening to it. So once I got over that I was feeling very proud of the finished product!

We’ve done it folks!

This week was fast moving. We finally got an idea on what we wanted to do for our radio show. Because we couldn’t meet together and record we decided to make the show almost like a podcast and have each of our characters bring our listener on a story of the different crimes they have committed. Each charcter got one episode in which we were responsible for our own commercials and sound.

Once this was done we uploaded our final project to a shared google drive and I compiled them into one show and put it in sound cloud. You can find our final project here!

How you doing?

This week was a slow start. We didnt really get a chance to meet about our project just yet but ideas are flowing through my head like crazy.

Our biggest challenge is scheduling. None of us have the time to meet all together for this project so we are in the midst of coming up with ways we can complete this without meeting together.

We will be right back

For my first audio assignment I did the Radio Show Intermission.

I see our radio show being more of a podcast situation. So I made my intermission similar to what I thought the intermission for Limetown Season 2 was like. Except for it going to commercial I make the intermission longer than just a few sounds.

I started with a sound of water dripping in a cave from Free Sound and duplicated the second drip as that was the one I liked better. I then went to a text to speech converter and had 5 different recordings of different voices saying each word of “Days of Crime and Roses will be back” and cut that together in Audacity. I then found a piano that sounded melancholy on Adobe Stock called “Who Takes Care of You” and once I heard more of the song and added it to Audacity I realized that I wanted to time the water dropplets to the beat of the music! So I did that and Im happy with how it came out.

Post This Flyer

For my design project for the radio show I decided I wanted to do a collage type of poster.

After brainstorming with my groupmates we decided with this newspaper, scrapbooking look. And I thought this was a great opportunity to use pinterest collaging. I started with a newspaper and added flowers to it on pinterest. I then moved into procreate and found sketches of a broken clock and a dagger. I edited them and added them into the collage. I then added the text of our radio show name and made sure it was legible against the text of the newspaper.
