Final Audio Story

For this audio story assignment I decided to tell a story about a time in which I played in a basketball tournament. Talking about sports is personal to me because that was my childhood. This is one of my favorite stories from my past playing basketball and I hope others enjoy hearing it. I drew my idea and design from listening to sports podcasts about athletes telling stories from their childhood. After reading the feedback from my group members I decided to add in a few touches. These include adding music at the intro and outro to make it sound more like a real podcast, and I also added another sound bite. This one is of a basketball being dribbled. I figured that this would add to the overall enjoyment of listening to my story. I pulled all of these sounds from the creative commons free sounds site. I drew my idea and design from listening to sports podcasts about athletes telling stories from their childhood. I imported my sounds into audition and cut parts of my story, and then edited my the crowd sounds into it and changed the volume on it. At first I had problems importing my audio but with a few tries, and a little extra research I figured it out. I also made it so that it would blend in and out softly with my audio using the techniques I learned on the tutorials. I think that on my final draft I will add in a few more sounds just to make it more enticing and interesting. I want to add a sound at the beginning similar to what we did in the vox pop tutorial. I am very happy with the way in which my Final has turned out, and I can’t wait for others to hear it.
