Oh blimey! It’s not often I begin with such an exclamation but I am honestly feeling a bit Kate Aidie. Thanks to the wonders of soundcloud a whole day wrestling with voice memos, garage band and mp3 has not been in vain. I can’t do any sound editing yet – that’s a skill I’ll have to pick up later (there’s only so much I can process in one day) – so there is one very obvious mistake in my audio blog. I say nasty for Nazi and have to correct myself “on air” as it were.
What I love about audio blogging is the freedom it can give the listener to have the post on in the background, rather than taking all their time up with reading. Also those who can’t access text can join the party – how wonderful is that! I even don’t mind my voice – surprised that I sound quite this posh but actually it’s an okay voice. I’m a comprehensive school kid, daughter of a Spanish refugee, brought up a Brummie, so I didn’t expect to sound so Radio 4, but hey I guess all these years spent down south have rubbed off on me.
So here it is. Ta-daa! My first audio blog – thank you soundcloud for making it so very easy in the end. We’re off. Cuppa to the ready, get the ironing out and click on the link…oh before you do. The Kate Aidie bit refers to the content – it’s a war piece so be warned.
