Hello!

For my final audio story I decided to create a story based on spring fashion. It started to get sunny in Pullman so I thought this would be the perfect time to discuss spring fashion! At the beginning of my story, I decided to start with an introduction of what is to come in the audio story. After that, I explained my favorite spring outfit; then, I interviewed my friends Jack and Ryli and asked them what their favorite spring looks were.

For my initial audio story draft, my idea was to interview my friends and have less of my own voice in the video. After I got all my interview recordings for my draft, I put them together in Adobe Audition. I put each recording on a new track and then downloaded music from https://freesound.org/people/klaudux/sounds/264081/which is a website with a Creative Commons License. I added the music to the beginning and end of my audio story draft.

For my final audio story, I made a couple tweaks. The first change I made was putting more of my own voice in the story. I thought having my voice start and end the video made it sound more complete. I also added the music in the background in-between each track I had. I did this because I thought it added more depth to my story. In order to make the music flow in the background with talking I used the fade in and fade out tools. I’m very glad I edited the music with the fade in and fade out tools because it makes the story less choppy.

The revisions I made were because of the feedback I got from my peers. The first comment I agreed with was making the music fade in and out. I noticed in my initial draft the music was a little choppy and adding the fade in and out made it continually flow. I also got a comment about my voice being monotone, so I re-recorded some clips and tried to sound more excited. I think with these two main revisions my audio story was improved immensely. I hope you enjoy!

Hello!

For this audio story draft I decided to create a story based on spring fashion. It just started to get sunny in Pullman so I thought this would be a perfect time to discuss spring fashion! At the beginning of my story I decided to explain one of my favorite spring outfits; after that, I interviewed my friends Clarisa, Emily and Jack about their favorite looks and places to get things.  

This story relates to my blog topic because I discuss my favorite spring outfit and then ask my friends what their favorite spring colors are and where they enjoy shopping. My friends and I are significant to this story because we talk about fashion and other topics related to fashion. 

My design process started with me recording myself for the beginning of my story and the end. I decided I wanted to do that because it would give my story a parallel element. After recording myself I conducted an interview with my friend Emily and Clarisa. I asked them both what their favorite spring color was. I thought this would be good for my story because certain seasons have more favorable colors. Clarisa and Emily said two light colors because it is lighter in the day now. I then asked them where they like to get their favorite sunglasses because sunglasses are always a statement piece! After interviewing Emily and Clarisa I interviewed my friend Jack; I asked Jack what his favorite spring outfit was because I wanted a boy’s fashion opinion in my story. 

After collecting all my recordings, I put them into Adobe Audition and cut down each track so they sounded more professional. I also added in chill background music in-between tracks to make it more interesting. I downloaded this music from https://freesound.org/people/klaudux/sounds/264081/which is a website with a Creative Commons License. After I listened to my story all together I enjoyed it because it turned out well and it’s just my first draft!  

I hope you enjoy! 

For my Audio Story I plan to talk about fashion in the spring time!
