Each of these websites were learned through this class. They were pretty much self-taught and I only went to the reading and writing center once this semester for help setting up WordPress.
I used a combination of Wave2lip, attaching sounds and adding new voices to create my final project. I used my creative to be able to create a storyline that really makes my audience listen and wanted to stay focused into my show. Overall, I am pleased with myself and how much time and effort I put into this show. I hope you all like it just as much as I did!
If you would like to read about the long process of making this show, feel free to read my other post:
This is now my I think third radio bumper I have made so it was pretty easy to make using clip champ and natural readers.
This week I redid the bumper to use for the radio show because the bumper(connect with page to week 9 bumper) I had already created was not my best work. I throw that one out and I used this one.
I started this bumper with making some lines to use in natural reader:
“You are now listening to DS 106 Radio. Whether you are on the go or just sitting down, hopefully you are enjoying the talks and even the commercials, Some of the commercials in this radio are a great way to help business grow Including Aggressive Technologies, the main company right now to expand their Artificial Intelligence usage. We all know how AI is becoming a huge thing in the world today, which is what The Digital Agencies Podcast will mention. Now back to the main show.”

After I recorded the lines then I headed over to FreeSound and I found this incredible sound:
Of course, I head over to Clip Champ to put them all together. Which gave me this amazing audio and I believe it turned out great! However, I am unsure what exactly happened, but the music was supposed to play through the entire bumper but that was not the case. I had sent it to my group to use for the radio show and no one said anything about it missing music…maybe they just thought it was supposed to be like that.
When I was listening to the radio show and my bumper came on I knew that I had messed it up somehow. I asked my group if I should fix it and they said no it was okay. Deep down though, I wanted to fix it so badly. I did not want the person who put together all the sounds to redo the radio show because I sent them a bad audio, so I did not bother asking them again.
All in all, I really enjoyed making this and if I had not messed up, this would have been my best one yet…in my opinion!
“Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least Five different sounds that you find online. The story can be no longer than 90 seconds.”
I pondered on this assignment for about a day just listening to the sounds around me. Than the next morning, I had an idea.
This idea came to me when I was feeding the cats this morning and I heard the can open. I thought this was the best idea I could have came up with. I used five different sounds to create one masterpiece. All of the sounds I used came from Freesound. I was struggling to find the last sound I needed to have five different ones and then I thought about the bowl I place on the ground and how that makes a sound!
My lovely creation:
Overall, I would give this assignment a 6 out of 10. 1 being easy and 10 being hard. I say this because finding the sounds was easy, but this was my first assignment I needed to overlap the sounds to get right tempo. It was a lot of clicking buttons and a lot of replaying the audio. We did great in the end; I like to think. For some reason the eating and drinking sound similar but if you listen closing, you can hear the cat swallow the water at the end of the audio.
Then his voice starts to fade as the beginning of the next song starts up.
I got this image in my head of what I wanted it to sound like and making a thought in your head was a little bit more challenging than I would have thought. I knew that I wanted the music to fade in, have Dr. Oblivion talk, then fade into another song. It was pretty easy to set up once I got it into Audacity. Overall, I would give it a 3 out of 10. 1 being easy and 10 being hard.
