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!

Radio Show Intermission
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!

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.

Film Fanatics & Fictional Friends
For my first audio assignment this week, I choose the Radio Bumper and put my own twist on it according to my radio show description.
My first step for this was creating a possible radio show name.
The description we have for my group is: Course character talk about pop culture/movies/tv in a talkshow/podcast type of vibe
I came up with name: Film Fanatics & Fictional Friends
The fictional friends in this case are all of our characters.
I wanted the audio in the sound to be neat, so I utilized a voice generator instead of me talking. Next, I used Pixabay for my intro and background music. The audio I used is called Big Band Show. I picked this one because it resembled almost an old time-y tv show intro and gave off fun vibes overall.
Here is my version of what could be the intro to my groups radio show!
In the beginning, the sound is very loud and out there. Then, the music turns into background sound as the actual intro is played. Finally, it picks back up and finishes out strong in hopes to get the listener enticed to what our characters have to say.
Were you all enticed?!
Bumi Being Silly
Upon looking through the Assignment Bank, I just knew I had to do the TikTok of your pet. I have endless pictures and videos of bumi on my phone. Bumi is a very mysterious and calm cat. Him being silly consists of eating the food I’m preparing, looking out windows and wagging his tail, sitting on my laptop as I sit down to do my assignments, and so much more.
I used TikTok to make this and add a sound to my video. I hope you guys enjoy this little clip of him licking the faucet and getting seen!
Now a fact that I have not shared yet about my character is that Chuckles is cat man, he’s got 13 domestic short-haired cats, whereas I have just one! He’s even done a comedy show talking about each cat each night. Those who attended Chuckles’s shows don’t know they were all about his cats though..
End of Beginning: TikTok Trend
For my this video assignment, I chose the make a top 10 or ranking video assignment from the bank. I used CapCut and TikTok for creating, editing, and adding a song. End of Beginning, a song by Joe Keery led to a major trend on TikTok where users add the song lyrics over a video or pictures of a place special to them. The following lyrics are what created the trend:
And when I’m back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
Chicago gets replaced with whatever place the creator wishes to use.
I made my video about my recent trip to Pakistan this past December. I included the highlights of my trip which included some of my favorite foods, weddings I attended, and just my everyday activities from that month!
I Am Me
For this assignment I was tasked with making a video that represents who I am. However, instead of the video being about me I made the video about Leo Storm, my created Ai character. For the video I found pictures that represented Leo Storm. I used pictures of his hometown, favorite food and drink, education, etc… I uploaded these pictures to a software called Movavi Video and from there I created a video with all the pictures. The next thing I did was record a voice over explaining how each picture represented Leo. I used Audacity as my recording software. After that was complete, I downloaded the finished voice over and uploaded to Movavi Video. I made my final touches, making sure my voice over was in sync with the pictures. I downloaded the final product and that is what you see here. I hope you enjoy!
Get Ready With Me: With a Shot!
… Shot as in shot of espresso, make that a double shot actually 
If you’ve ever seen me in person, I’ll have an iced latte in my hand ALWAYS. I guess you can say I’m a little addicted …
For this Video Assignment from the Assignment Bank, I chose the get ready with me! I decided to do my own twist on this since I start getting ready for my day by making my latte!
I filmed my entire process of making lattes, from beginning to end. I used iMovie to edit the clips together and sped up some parts on it as well. I know some people only enjoy drinking lattes, but I enjoy making them even more. In fact, being able to make my own lattes in my morning routine, is what motivates me to get out of bed. The parts I sped through where when I was utilizing my WDT tool, when spinning my distributor tool, and in between refilling my ice scoops. I also sped up the video all together to get it from 48 seconds down to 26. Parts of the process have also been clipped. For example, the extraction of the espresso shot was clipped from 28 seconds to about 2 seconds. I had so much fun putting this together and I hope you enjoy my version of getting ready with me!
P.S. it’s an iced oat milk latte with macadamia with caramel drizzle.
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
For this assignment I was tasked with recording myself reciting a poem. I decide to put a twist on it, instead of me reciting the poem Leo Storm, my created character, is reciting the poem. I chose One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish as my poem because it was one of my favorite poems growing up. Another reason I chose this was because it is a classic poem written by Dr. Seuss. The process of making this video was quite simple. I used blabberize.com to upload a picture of Leo Storm, this website allowed me to make an image look like it was talking. After I uploaded the photo, I used an Ai text to speech to record the poem. Once that was complete, I uploaded the file of the voice over of One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish to blabberize.com and this is the final product. I hope you enjoy!
Web Gem
For this assignment I was tasked with compiling clips of me doing well in my sport and make it into a video. The process of creating this video wasn’t too difficult. I had some film from my high school season as well as my travel ball season. I took those clips and uploaded them to iMovie. Once they were uploaded, I just combined all the clips making it into one video. Hope you enjoy!
