I chose to do a podcast for the American Dream Speech because I didn't think of a creative way of putting it into video. I also believe in the idea of simplicity so I just went with the flow on this one. The first barrier in this assignment is that I thought I could do it in one take. I could not for the life of me, get it in one take. Overtime my voice went from enthusiastic and excited to very melancholy and robotic like so I apologize beforehand. I kept getting frustrated with myself to a point where I thought I was gonna give up. I obviously didn't and I'm proud of myself for that reason only. My sister being in the room while recording wasn't the best either since she was busy watching her show and snickering to herself. There was also no other place in the apartment where I could record without my mother's telenovelas blaring on the TV. I don't like my voice in the finished product or how I sound very robotic. I'm proud of the music choice and how I managed to edit it with my voice. I'm also proud that I learned how to edit nicely enough to fit the speech in less than 3 minutes. I feel that it was alright for my first project on audacity.
