1. You me E6 radio show evaluation – Shauna leacy
The introduction to our show has a back in track so we don’t have a boring introduction we
wanted something upbeat it is then followed by our jingle, we wanted it to come across as
quite funny because of the target audience we didn’t want it to be too serious, also shows
our personalities which I’d say was important, a way of connecting with the audience, I like
the jingle which Emily made again I think it relates to a young adult audience even down to
the song choice it’s something our generation remembers it might be old now but a lot
people our age listened to busted or at least know the song so having that in our jingle I’m
proud of and think it suits are radio show as a whole.
The first story of mine is the university vox pops interview, I start the story with an
introduction to explain what I’m going to ask about and why I feel like I could of read through
it first properly before I recorded it for the show there is a word in it that I repeat and I don’t
like the way it sounds I should of gone over it a few times before, when I start the questions I
feel like I could of put on a more informative voice to sound more professional, to me my
voice sounds really common and dull I should of pronounced university more proper instead
of making it really slang like my voice sounds awful, I maybe could of put on a more upbeat
voice when asking questions instead of being so serious, some of the questions I wish I
repeated so I could choose the best one I feel as if I mumble words or get them mixed up
because of how fast I’m trying to say them, I’m happy with the volume and how loud and
clear I’m speaking just at the start of clips I shout the question and then gradually get quieter
I should of read the question all in the same tone, it comes across really loud to start with,
compared to the people answering the questions my voice is very loud. The way I’ve edited
it was to sound like I’d ask the question once and then everyone has their answer, I’m happy
with the way I’ve done this, I then finished It rounded the story up with an outro explaining
what I had learned during this interview I feel like having the outro at the end brings the story
together. There were a few bits in the RAW version which I have cut out because id laugh or
mess up the words. I also had to cut some bits out where the people I was interviewing
messed up and had to start again other than that it was all good.
Straight after my first news story my second copy only story comes in I talk about what has
happened I first explain what the story involves I jump straight into by talking about what
happened to the dog the rest I go on to talk details about how, where it happened also tried
to find out what the outcome was with the tests I also go on to talk about that, If I was to do
it again I’d read through my story first to get an idea on what I’m saying because some
words/sentences don’t flow I sound robot like also my voice is quite dull I could of tried to
sound more informative, some words sound very common, I also could of read some parts
out a bit more slow because it sounds like I’m rushing through the story it also makes me
muddle some words up where as if I did it slowed down I could of sounded a lot clearer even
putting on a voice which sounds more serious because it is a serious story so to make this
clear show that in my voice overall I could of made the story a lot more clearer and made it
flow a lot better. I had cut out little bits if I jumbled my words I tried my best to record it
without messing up.
My final story is about social media I start the story out with an introduction where I explain
what my story is going to involve I also mention who I’m interviewing and why I’m
interviewing this person, I then go on to ask her questions I ask a single question wait for a
response and then I continue with the next question, I think this is best story out of them all
because my voice is clear and you can hear everything I’m saying, I also tried to ask the
2. questions in a more conversational way rather than in a serious tone, I’d say out of all my
stories this one was the best recorded because it wasn’t rushed but my voice is very deep
which is off putting, once she has finished her answer because my story was the last I could
of recorded a outro. I think this is the only one where I only edited out pauses in between
questions this one was recorded within minor parts where I messed up. Sound wise think its
fine because we recorded it in the radio studio with the proper microphones and stood the
correct distance away so we aren’t shouting.
The whole show overall I edited I wanted the right balance between having jingles and just
flowing one news story into another I also wanted to mix the serious stories in with more light
hearted stories, I also wanted to avoid putting our jingle before or after stories with more of a
sensitive subject, I felt like it wouldn’t be appropriate and having a jingle after every story
would be a bit overdoing it I wanted you to listen to the story and know what it was about and
then once the next one came on it didn’t confuse the listener. I like the mix of stories and
how we included a live cross I feel like the more content the more interesting it can be the
only down side was maybe the volumes of each clips, my stories where probably the most
quietest maybe if we were to ever do this again change/double check the volumes. Talking
about my target audience the age for you me e6 are students because we touch on subjects
like festivals, university and social media even alcohol awareness these things are big
subjects with students and I feel like we all approached them in a clever way even down to
the student timetables hearing it from a teachers point of view who has to deal with this sort
of thing makes you look at it differently and understand a lot more.
