Drafting my “This I Believe” draft was honestly a struggle for me. It was difficult to come up with a topic that would be relatable to a broad audience but that also was not too cliche. Additionally, when I chose a general belief, it was a little difficult to make the story engaging. Overall, though, I feel pretty good about the final result. As for recording, the only issue I consistently had was that people in my building kept slamming their doors while I was trying to record. I had to rerecord three times on account of this problem, but the bright side is that it forced me to look more closely at the piece and allowed me to focus on adding more expression to my voice. I’m interested to know what you all thought about my podcast!
I thought your podcast was so good. You do a great job of showing emotion when you speak. i also really liked the part where you used alliteration talking about the board games, that was clever. I need to adopt the “phone bin” tactic to be honest. I hate being on my phone a lot.
This was so good! Both the way that the story is set up and your voice inflictions are amazing. I was engaged the entire time while listening and I can definitely relate to being on my phone too much too! I really liked the diction too with the “connecting with connect 4”.
