Autotune Something
You've heard Carl Sagan. You've heard Bed Intruder. You've even heard Gardner Campbell autotuned. Now it's your turn. Take something not typically musical and autotune it.

I had to find someone with a high voice to  say the twilight zone intro. My voive was too low.  Autotuned it with the gsnap plug in on audacity

911 emergency call

Most people don’t get to call 911, and you never get to call 911 unless it’s a true emergency. Well here’s your chance to "Call 911" and have some fun! Create a recording of how you think a 911 call would play out. It doesn’t have to be a real emergency at all! Operator: “What’s your emergency?” Caller: “THERES NO PEANUT BUTTER FOR PB&J SAMMICHES!!!!” Get creative!

So to tie in the Twilight Zone episode of "Midnight Sun".  Me and my lovely assistant recorded a 911 call as if everything was melting and was unbearably hot.  We used audacity and the intro to the Twilight Zone found on youtube.

Create a voice mail message for a character in a film or tv show. Use samples, impressions, and/or music to create your message. See a video version of Cheech and Chong doing a message

I used the hail to the chief intro music, and did my own impersonation of President Obama himself.

Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include "DS106 Radio" and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.

**Re-edited to have some epic music in the background.  The new music really gives it that movie trailer feeling.**

Don LaFontaine was legendary for hos deep voiceover intros to movie trailers ("In a world..."). Make a recording that uses his style that describes something ordinary or everyday. See the TV tropes listing for ideas or expressions or model it after one of the thousands of examples he left out there -- see his video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QPMvj_xejg If you lack The Voice naturally, use your audi editor's shift pitch tools to deepen it.

I did this audio assignment to the Twilight Zone Episode "Midnight Sun". The only thing they wanted to do was stay cool, so I thought this audio clip I made reflected that pretty well. I used audacity to make the clip.

Music Mashup

Using Audacity (or any other sound editing program) create an audio mashup with 2 very distinct 
songs. According to wikepedia these mashaps may fall under "fairuse".

Kenny Chesney Mashup


Dialogue mashup

As demonstrated by the Movies Mashup episode of the radio show The Truth, take two different movies and extract the dialogues scenes of actors form each, then re-edit them to create a story as if the characters from different movies were in the same conversation. 

Listen to examples from the show including The Terminator and Legally Blonde ("Terminally Blonde") and from the TV shows that become "The Sopranos in the West Wing."
