For my last audio assignment of this week, i wanted to do some work on my radio show. I know our show has to have some commercials, so i figured i’d make some of my own! The “Cheesy Radio Ad For Your School” was perfect. Although i interpreted this on my own. I did one AD that pertained to UMW. Since this assignment is worth 3 stars, i figured i would go a little extra and do another ad. It would benefit me and make me feel like i deserved the 3 stars. I also added some things that took a while. For my second Ad, i made my own “Coming To A Theatre Near You” commercial about an old movie called “She’s The Man.” In the week 7 post by Bond, he said we could do work for our radio show, so i suppose this is what he meant? If not, i have an extra ad, so yay! Now let’s get down to business and you’ll be able to see what exactly i did!

UMW Ad:

I started off the assignment by obeying the rules and doing a cheesy ad for UMW. I mean, i’ve heard enough of them through Pandora, so why not? Earlier today, i actually received a letter from UMW asking to donate! So i took some points from there and sounded really cheesy, enthusiastic, and intense. Of course i added the infamous “Where Great Minds Get To Work” because that basically is UMW, right? Now, simply recording this into Audacity wouldn’t be worth 3 stars. I wanted some cool background music so i went through my itunes library and searched for the perfect song. I stumbled upon the fantastic “Take On Me” by A-Ha so i used it. I tried to only use the intro but maybe some words slipped out. Oh, well. I took my recording and the song and merged them into one track. I love how it came out. I can listen to it and laugh at the same time. Now, since i wanted to earn these 3 stars, i did another commercial! But here’s the UMW ad!

She’s The Man Ad

If you’ve ever spoken to me about films, you know that i’m a sucker for She’s The Man. I basically used that film as a Bible when i was younger. It’s just the perfect preteen,teen,adult film.Since i used an 80s song for my first ad, i wanted to go on the track of doing old things. I chose She’s The Man as a “Coming To A Theatre Near You” commercial. I mean, i’m pretty sure it was one, at one point. I cheated and used a pop song from a year ago as the background song. BUT COME ON! Tongue Tied by Grouplove (who came to UMW last year) is the perfect background song to a movie trailer and so on. SO i recorded myself reading a little summary. Meh, my voice isn’t the best but nor is the guy who narrates the trailers, am i right? After i recorded my voice, i had Tongue Tied on Audacity and merged the tracks. BOOM! A beautiful ad was then created. Listen to it and tell me if you’d watch She’s The man (obviously if you haven’t before).
