Road to Graduation

This particular day I decided to use my voice for more than just my radio show. It was time to record my first PSA. As a future radio personality, I think recording PSAs are a great way to get the message out to the public. You would think recording and editing a PSA is a piece of cake. Well, you would be wrong. I thought I would've been done in at least an hour. Nope, this PSA took almost 2.5 hours to record and edit. Let's not talk about the software program not wanting to cooperate, so I had to leave the Mac Lab and record in the studio. Besides everything going terribly wrong in the first hour of recording or at least trying to record, I can honestly say I had a blast. Sure, I became annoyed with the system at first, but these things can happen. So, do what you do to get the job done. I can't wait to hear how it sounds on air.

Road to Graduation

 

At the Lollapalooza/Sueños job fair I was able to display my musical talents by DJing. It was my first time having the chance to learn and execute the quick skills I was taught just before doing my thing. I actually had really good time and I think I want to create my own mix for my portfolio. Music is my forte and I think I would enjoy being a part-time DJ. In the meantime I'm working on trying to incorporate a mix into my radio show as well. I'll keep you updated in the process. Ciao for now

The Road to Graduation

 

On the road to graduation, this is the first step to completing my capstone project. As a radio host for WKKC which is the radio station for Chicago City Colleges. My project is a short radio segment which includes, a PSA, an interview, current events, sports and word on the campus. Getting started has really been the hardest part of this project because I already know what to do and how to get it done. The editing is probably the most tedious part of the entire project, but its not impossible.  This is only the beginning, there's more to come as time goes on so stay tuned
