I clearly did not use my voice in the activity below, but instead used one of my co-workers with a God given voice and no it's not Ted Williams! Anyway I had gotten him to do some promos last semester in 780 to promote ETV's Twitter and Facebook accounts. The promos were dry as we say in the radio biz, meaning without music, so I had been meaning to add music behind them to give them a little pizazz, but just never got around to do it. So this gave me an opportunity to do it! I used Rockin Robin by The Jackson 5 which I got from ETV's music library. I checked with our copyright guru to make sure that I could use the music and he told me as long as it's not over 30 seconds, we don't have to report it. So I choose to make a 10 second promo, so I had to cut the audio down considerably. I knew that I wanted the "Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee's" in the beginning and the "Tweet, Tweet's" at the end. Then once I had the parts that I wanted, I put the voice track somewhere in the middle. Next I faded the music down when he began talking and faded it back up when he was finished. I also faded it down again at the end so it wouldn't end abruptly. ======

Audio Activity 3
I really loved using this audio editor. It was so much fun and it was also very easy. I've used Audacity in the past, but this editor was more similar to the costly Adobe Audition. I can't believe that it's free. I used reverb on my voice track and then I used some of the audio tracks from the library for the intro, end, and loop under my voice. I really liked the pre-made loops. One thing I couldn't figure out was how to indiviually adjust the audio of a file. I looked for a volume envelope, but couldn't find one. So I guess you just have to put each file on a separate track and adjust the audio of each individual track.
