The Airwaves are Alive, Wk 2 of it:
by Greta Hammen
I spent time this week creating dialogue between my character, Natasha Sidorov, and Dr. Ravioli. The group agreed that text to voice generation would be best, due to the varied schedules. We created short MP3’s on www.elevenlabs.com and uploaded them on SoundCloud. Sarah Bradshaw volunteered to start getting them together in Audacity, Destiny had some time on Wednesday and Friday, during the day, to contribute to that and on Thursday, I assembled four clips to make the ending of the talk show, using Premiere Pro https://on.soundcloud.com/wHc7wmsgVqnEWPGa7 and Marisol recorded her character’s parts and sent them to SoundCloud, as well. I recorded six MP3’s during the week and saved them on Soundcloud. The final full show can be enjoyed here:
The group was easy to work with and we were able to create a talk show with our characters interacting in various ways with Dr. Ravioli. It is my hope that in one of my other classes, next semester, I get the opportunity to use the Podcast equipment on campus. I believe that being together on location and reading our parts with good quality microphones will be a unique experience with minimal editing to clean it up, for a polished recording. It was best however, on this project, to do individual segments and then combine them later.
Commercial for Ray Ban Meta🕶️:
by Greta Hammen
I did a twist on the commercial assignment suggestion and made mine of a current AI product, instead of an 80’s product. The Ray Ban Meta Smart Glasses are awesome! The lenses come in some color options, so that you can have sunglasses, clear or green lenses to wear inside. My character would order the sunglasses. She will be talking with Dr. Ravioli and wearing sunglasses on the moped.
To create the commercial, I did a voice from text at www.elevenlabs.com and downloaded the mp3. In Premiere Pro, I imported that file and a free clip form www.freesounds.com titled Echoes. In Soundcloud, I uploaded the mp3 commercial and added image from www.freepik.com.
A World of Voices🗣️
by: Greta Hammen
To create my Radio Bumper, I used Premiere Pro. I found two soundtracks that I liked on http://freesound.org and downloaded them. One is classical music, and the other is of dogs barking for contrast. I imported those into Premiere on separate layers, then used the microphone for voice over on a third layer. By clipping out parts and shortening the time sequence, I was able to achieve an end result that I deemed respectable.
I did my radio announcing several times for the best reading, yes, I wrote it out, and I increased the gain in the audio to +2 and set the music to -5, to be heard over it.
