Sunshine Radio

I am a volunteer at the local hospital radio which is located in St Marys Hospital in Newport. I have volunteered here for 2 years now after undergoing a training regime, and now have my own one hour show every Monday. We decided that it would be a good idea for us to record our narration here, as the audio would be of high quality.

We took Henry and Bella there with us, as we had decided that Henry would do the narration for us (He also plays the part of The Infinitive) and we thought it would be a good idea for Bella to join us in case there were any last minute changes to the script. The script was planned as follows:

Gerorgia Murphy was an ordinary girl
Invisible to the world
Until, everything changed.
Bella McCrimmon is, Topaz Spectre
Henry George, as the Infinitive
Coming Soon.

The whole recording process was fairly simple. We used the attatched microphone to do the recording,which we turned up and down with the red fader that you can see in the last slide. We recorded all of the transcript on to a minidisk, which was then changed to CD format by my station manager. He split all of our recordings up to two seperate clips, one for what he believed was the correct recording, and one for us messing around and giggling. Here is the mp3 of us doing the proper recordings: Overall I think that our recording was very succesful.However, a comment was made by my station manager that we were probably speaking a little too close to the microphone, as it seems a bit crackly. If we had time we could redo the recordings, but I think these are ample.
