Audacity


 * Audacity - Recording Activity **


 * 1. ** Choose an appropriate quote & write it down.

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.-Nelson Mandela

. For starters I believe this quote has a great message and is written by a great man.There is also a lot of sounds applicable to each of the words said in this wonderful quote. This quote is meaningful to me on a personal level because my mom had a poster of him with the quote written under it when I was little. It's extremely appropriate for a school setting because although many of us in Harbord Collegiate have access to food, water and money there are many places in the world where students simply do not have access to these things. by using this quote for my audacity project I hope to spread that message. I believe that this quote is very motivational. This is an important message because although many of us are sheltered to these hardships of life it's a reality for children just like us all around the world.
 * 2. ** W ** rite thoughtful proposal paragraph ** stating your reasons for choosing this quote:

In what ways is it appropriate for school setting? In what ways is it appealing/suitable for student, teacher & administrative audience? Does the quote convey an inspirational, motivational and/or educational message? What is it AND why is the message important? .
 * 3. Guess-estimate how long ** it would take to read the text, add a few seconds for opening/closing fade in/fade out music/sound fx etc. Actually READ the text & TIME it.

It will take around 3 minutes for the entire sound clip to finish. The fade in/fade out will be approximately three seconds each.

All must be school appropriate and quote appropriate. The purpose of the sound effects & music track is to ENHANCE the meaning of the quote AND polish the overall effect of the project. Your goal is a RADIO quality audio project that can be played ON the AIR.
 * 4. ** ** Brainstorm & List 5 ideas for possible sound effects & music tracks ** (you may consider doing your own foley sound effects).

My sound effects will be a clap, a sneeze A sad song A happy song.
