After working and completing the Audition final draft, I’m actually fairly pleased with the outcome. As I had previously stated in my first draft post, I wasn’t quite sure where I wanted to go with the project at first. I had considered creating a simple recording of myself walking around my bike and talking about it, but then I decided that this would be too boring, long, and wouldn’t produce a very good final project. I then had the idea that morphed into my final project. The idea was to start with morning sounds, then go into the sound of me starting my bike. This was to show that this is part of my morning routine. I then went on to me talking about my bike in short segments, which were originally broken up by sounds of my bike. The first draft was a good representation of where I wanted to go, but it needed to be further refined. I started out with a blank slate and pulled all of the sounds I had from the first draft into the new document. I then arranged them how I wanted and made sure to cut out the extra bits.
I decided to add some music to my piece because I thought it would really make it a lot more exciting and interesting. I did a little bit of searching on Soundcloud and found some free to use music that I really enjoyed. It was upbeat and had natural pauses that made it easy to place in the storyline. The link is below. also below is the link to the alarm clock noise that plays in the beginning. Other than the music and this alarm noise, all of the sounds in the story are my own. Overall, I think the project really pulled itself together and the result is one of my best so far.
