Can You Hear me Now?

Before coming to this class I did not own a microphone nor did I know where to get one. I had went to Target and I saw it was $15 for a microphone that seemed to be a little expensive. So I went to Wal Mart and found one for $8. I used this mic to record myself on audacity. I read books as well as using it to create my own book. It was being put to good use so I knew purchasing it was well worth it. I am glad I have it so I can now use it on other projects in the future.

I learned that it was not as easy as I thought to record myself. It was hard to hold both the microphone and the book. Since I have a low voice I had to put the volume on high. Even then my voice was still really low. I overcame this by talking loader and changing the tone of my voice. I also had someone hold the book while I read. I learned how important time management was because of how long it took me to record.
