EEK! I’m literally about to jump up and down over this assignment, I’m just SO EXCITED!!
Honestly, when I read through this weeks work I was dreading this assignment. I thought it was going to be TERRIBLE. But it turned out to be pretty easy and really fun! It took me about 5 minutes to come up with an idea (who am I?) I normally take forever to decide upon an idea.
But before I go any further, let me explain the assignment: We were to create a story using 5 different sounds, all under 60 seconds.
I am an on-again, off-again runner. Currently I’m in the “off-again” phase, it’s just to cold outside. I digress. During my running days of 2012 I ran/walked in 4, 5ks. So that’s how I came up with the idea of creating a “running race story”.
Take a listen. Then I’ll share more after.
What do you think?
I got all 5 sounds from FreeSound.org
After downloading all the sounds, I used audacity to layer them all together. I faded in the cheering, at the beginning. Everything layered over another sound and at the end I let the “breathing sound” continue to give the “post race, just crossed the finish line effect” I’m just so excited with how this assignment turned out!
Fantastic job with this story.and I appreciate that you linked your sources and included the right tags. I saw the link to the assignment but its helpful if you mention the its title and description just so a reader knows what you are doing.
By the way, we have two running sound effect stories from this class! See

Oh yes! I will go add a description on the assignment now! I will have to check out the other running story! Very cool!!
