GarageBand
Blog Post #11
In the past, I have done some work with GarageBand. In high school, I took a class called Imaging. The class consisted mainly of using Photoshop, but if you continued to take it, you would work with more programs. It was my third time taking the class. One of the assignments was to take photographs that went a long with a poem. I used the poem, “Where the Sidewalk Ends” by Shel Silverstein. The photographs I took all had to do with sidewalks and the outdoors. I had to record someone speaking the poem, so this is where Garageband came in. My friend and I went in a quiet room, where there was a microphone set up. I recorded her voice using GarageBand, but that is all. I did not have to edit the piece. Also, I added music to the recording in iMovie. That is the only time i have used it.
About a week ago, I got to learn how to use GarageBand, specifically for podcasts. There are so many features you can use with GarageBand; you can cut out part of the recording in case you messed up, you can add music and let it fade in and out, you can add sound effects, and more. It is not very difficult, you just have to take the time to learn how to use it.
Another feature of GarageBand lets you change how your voice sounds. Here is a video so you can check it out.
I am excited to work with GarageBand for my podcast. Learning about how to use it in class was very helpful. I know now exactly how to edit my piece. I am interested to see how it will all turn out.
Breanne, it is cool that you had some experience with garage band. I hope my naivety wont make my project inferior to yours. I am interested to hear about any helpfulness you can add to the group.
Your experience with GarageBand is really interesting. I wish I had an opportunity to create something like that before diving into these podcasts. The video you posted is really cool. Now we know how famous singers make their voices change!
