CALC Ed-Vance ENG3C Mr. Tremain June 3, 2011

= = = Radio host audition =

You are applying for a job as a radio host. To get this job you must record yourself reading something from //Theories of Relativity//.

This task explores the oral and media strands of the English curriculum. Specifically, you will 1. make a recording on your computer, and 2. post it to this Wiki site. You may then extend the assignment by adding to or altering your recording using Audacity, which should be on your computer already.

Step 1. Select a reading. It should take you 90-120 seconds to read.

Step 2. Using the //Audacity// software, record your reading into the computer.

Step 3. Download an unlicenced .mp3 song that is appropriate for class. Import it into your audacity file.

Step 4. Add effects to your sonic work of art.

Step 5. Save your recording in .mp3 format. This will require you to point to the file “lame_enc.dll”. Here is how to find that file: When the program asks you to point to this file, click on “desktop”, then the CALC folder, then the Student Share folder, then the Mr. Tremain folder.

Step 6. Upload the mp3 file to this wikisite.

Step 7. Listen to your colleagues' sonic works of art!
