My Podcast!!!! Finally finished *halfway* *sigh*. =/
February 24, 2008
Why is it only half way finished? I need your opinion. Please make suggestions/tips/advice/critiques, etc. on my script and podcast. Hope you guys’ll like it! =)
The Script:
What’s in the vid: pictures, music, special text effects, and my voice (great huh?).
*Intro*
The Optimistic Wave
My Dorky Podcast Project
Christina R.
*Intro ends*
That was total randomness like Tom Cruise but I hope you liked it. Ok so that was the intro finished. Let’s begin!! Oh yes. And a word or two or three or four, etc. of warning first. It will either be a bore for you or highly inappropriate for your level of maturity (literally~! Just kidding). Thanks! Enjoy.
What makes a good morning for you? Is it your pet dog waking you up every morning with a lick to the face? Is it mom preparing delicious breakfast waffles? Is it dad preparing bacon especially for you today? Is it your neighbor greeting you a ‘good morning’? Is it music to your ears? Is it your birthday today? Was it a good dream? Did you scare yourself with a great morning hair-do? Watched a great morning show? Is it simply a thought of a new day, or was it smaller than all these – a genuine smile on someone’s face? *True Colors - Cindy Lauper music with pictures*
Either way, I’ll let you in on a little research. There are 18 different kinds of smiles a person’s face can demonstrate – but only one unique one can make you happy. It is the only smile that releases ‘pleasant’ hormones from your left brain and the one that will lift your mood. But how can you tell which one? Simple. Smile like you mean it - with your lips, cheeks, and even eyes! Practice smiling and you could feel the different smiles – only one can feel light but awesome at the same time! Let your instincts judge for you the natural, genuine smile from the false one.
So remember folks, despite all the happy/sad sad/happy factors in life – adding in a few smiles to your morning routine can make things wayyyy easier for you!

Very Nice~! Clap for you!

Hey, its really good! I like how you had a conversational tone to it and included interesting information. You also included a video with it, so thats a definite plus! If it didn’t include a video, I might say that it may be a little short but I’m sure that with the pace of the video and everything it will come to a suitable length.

Thanks guys! How can I improve it? ^^

Joseph: mmmm, I like it and could not suggest any changes. The thing about the smile is wonderful, I believe in it and use it every morning, it is a way of remembering to be grateful for another day with my family. If you wanted to expand it I would use that part.
Nice work.

Good work, Christina! I really loved it. The only comment I have is about the background music, two things:
We didn’t talk much about this in class, so I’m not going to count it against you, but keep in mind for future podcasts that without express permission of the artist, you can only use a total of 30 seconds of copyrighted music in one podcast. There are, however, tons of GREAT independent musicians on myspace.com who would love to give you permission to use their songs.
Second, the music stopping and starting abruptly grabbed my attention a few times. I wonder if there is a way to just fade during those moments and also to fade from one song to another?
Anyway, terrific - top marks.
