This is a radio bumper created for the audio assignment, “Create a DS106 Radio Bumper,” in Computer Science 106: Digital Storytelling (DS106). I first found the kind of sound I wanted for the radio bumper on SoundCloud by searching for Creative Commons EDM mixes. After I found the EDM buildup I was hoping to find, I went to Freesound and searched for sounds that resembled wires running electricity since the course was also known as Wire106 since the television show The Wire was incorporating into our weekly assignments. Lastly, I needed someone to say “DS106 Radio.” I knew I definitely did not want to record myself, so I searched for free online text to speech computer generated voices that also allowed me to download the audio. I came across YAKiToMe! and used the “Audrey” voice to say “DS1O6 Radio.”
After I downloaded the three various audio clips, I imported them into Audacity and put them together to make the radio bumper.
