Do you get tired of hearing people tell you the same bad answers all the time? Well this is exactly what you want to hear. In this first episode of Truth Tea, I’ll give you the tea on cultural appropriation.
Working with a podcast was an interesting experience. Although there were less restraints than the think piece, finding audio that was not covered laced with strict copyright laws. Finding audio and supporting clips that I could use was the hardest part of putting this podcast together.
While some may see this podcast as a race fueled rant, it was actually created with the goal of informing without passing harsh judgement. Being able to use my voice made the words on my paper more personable. The audience I’m aiming for is anyone that is willing to listen.
Dear Ashley,
I thought your podcast was great! Your voice is very mellow and full of emotions. Like Prof. Ellis said, I think the only thing there is for me to suggest to you is to modulate your voice with a p-filter.
Good luck!
Ashley, I definitely like your speaking voice and the use of the music as it matched with the podcast. I would just say that you can fix some of the audio in certain parts as it sounds too low, where the music took the central stage or in parts where it sounds like you added period after every word you spoke. Overall, it was nice, quick podcast that worked well.
Dear Ashley, I enjoyed listening to your podcast, and I learned a lot from the material that you cited and the interview quote that you integrated–all very effective for building your argument! As we discussed in class after playing your podcast, check out your podcast on different listening equipment–headphones and speakers, so that you get a sense of what your audience might hear. As I have suggested to other podcasters, you should try recording with a p-filter or switch up to a higher quality recording microphone–I have to do this myself when I record, because I pronounce hard p’s and t’s, which get picked up with standard recording equipment. I like the music that you selected in the background–it’s chill and inviting–it engages your audience in a way that you can make a hard argument without striking a different tone–very smart! Best, Dr. Ellis
Ashley, I thought the tone of your voice was on point throughout most of the podcast. I also liked how you used a voice clip of a source you used. Maybe you can add more clips such as that one? One thing I believe you can improve on is your voice. I think it sounded too low at most points. It did, however, get better halfway.
