For the topic of my audio file, I chose to talk about sorority recruitment. This is something that I recently experienced and I found the topic to be interesting. I interviewed my good friend that also joined a sorority and we discussed Big- Little reveal as it is something that I will be going through this up coming week. My friend had already gone through this because she is in a different sorority so she was able to tell me what to expect, which was nice.

I chose not to add background music in my draft, although I may decide to work it in before the final draft. The reason I didn’t add music in the first place is because I didn’t want it to take away from the content of what we were saying. Depending on the music chosen, I sometimes feel like it can take away from what the narrator or “characters” are actually saying.

While editing, I cut out the intro to the interview in the original because I had already described who and what we would be talking about in the audio clip beforehand. I also incorporated the use of the razor tool when editing out the frequent uses of the word “um”.

My goal for this audio clip was for it to sound like a podcast of some sort or a talk show. I was acting as the host and my friend who was being interviewed would be perceived as a “guest” on my show. I am really liking the way that Audition allows you to do so much with multiple tracks at once and I find the program to be really simple even though it can appear to be very complicated.

Overall, I like the way my audio footage turned out and I may consider making some adjustments before the final is due. I think that by talking about something both me and the person I am interviewing are familiar with, really helps the conversation to flow and makes producing the content a lot easier. Lastly, I enjoy the way Audition has been working for me and find the program really easy to navigate.
