Dylan** media type="file" key="dylan's interview.mp3" width="240" height="20" Over all this was a good interview, it made me laugh. It probably could have done without your mom slamming things around in the background but I only knew that was there because you told me. I liked the way you faded the music in and out and how your dad said 'rock on' at the end. (emily) I like the way you faded the music. It was a good interview and I clearly understood it. You could have made the voices a little louder so they were easier to hear. Over it was good. (Casey)

Emily media type="file" key="emilyinterview.mp3" width="240" height="20"** It was a good interview. I liked how the music faded in on some parts and you could hear your interview very clearly. I think you should have put in some more music into the interview but over all it was a good interview. (DYLAN) I liked how clearly you spoke and how the music faded in and out of the interview. It was very easy to understand and nicely done. (Casey)

media type="file" key="Tim Interview.mp3" width="240" height="20"** It was a good interview. I like the way that the music changed through out the interview. It was very cool. I thought you spoke very clearly. (Casey)
 * Tim

media type="file" key="casey interview.mp3" width="240" height="20"** I thought it was cool how you put in voice effects, if you even did. At some points it was kind of hard to understand but not too difficult. I liked how you faded in and out with the music in the background. (emily) I liked the music in the background. It made it very fun to listen to. I dont know if i liked the voice effect because it sounded like it was under water. But i liked your interview. (DyLaN) Hey that was pretty good. I liked the weird voice effect, but it made your voices difficult to understand at certain points. The songs were good too. (Tim)

James** media type="file" key="JAndrettaInterview.m4a" width="300" height="50" James, you may want to lower the audio levels for the music track. Also, consider a slower fade out in spots - the transitions are a little abrupt. (Ms. S) I particularly like how Andrea describes Bruce Springsteen as just basic Rock and Roll, just take it or leave it attitude, no special effects. (Mrs. W) James got his podcast done early. He incorporated his music in with his interview nicely. Sound quality was good. The overall podcast wasn’t very long. However, he got all of his questions done. (Mike, Jimmy, James, Nick & Jason)
 * Quarter 2 2009 Class:

Mike media type="file" key="mandretta2.mp3" width="240" height="20" Mike, your audio levels are a little low. Can you boost the volume of the vocal track at all? I can't hear the conversation even with my audio output all the way up on my end. (Ms. S) Very conversational! (Mrs. W) Mike worked hard after giving it his all within the two classes he worked on it. He didn’t have his vocal levels up to standards, but if he did the sound quality wouldn’t be that bad at all. It was very conversational and it sounded like there wasn’t even a piece of paper in front of him. (Mike, Jimmy, James, Nick & Jason)

Brian Ca Brian, Awesome medly intro! Fabulous fades between the key phrases you chose – the listener instantly knows which songs you are referencing. Not sure if the “Alman Brothers!” scream is particularly in keeping with the mood of the interview. (Ms. S) Very creative, interesting and captivating! (Mrs. W) • Brian – I thought it was good and met the criteria o Ryan – I think it was very long and informative o John – he had good choices of songs and good transitions o Tim – I liked the intro with the different music that he used in the interview**

Ali Ali, Who were you talking with? An intro with who is speaking would be a good idea. Nice audio levels for the interview, though. Great use of the music and fading it down and under the conversation. (Ms. S) Mrs. Poppish described it very well for you, that to attend a rock and roll concert, it was about the whole experience. At this one, they heard the hardcore, upbeat rock and roll music, with long solos that featured all the members of the band. (Mrs. W) Ali’s pod cast- Conversation was very good, and good question as well as dialogue, background noise could have been dealt with. Interview was easy to hear. The interview could have had more songs but other than that was very good. (Andreas, Alex, Ben)**

Jason Jason, Nice audio levels for the interview. Good job with the music under the vocal track. (Ms. S) Again, another branch of Rock and Roll. Good transitions with the music. (Mrs. W) Jason’s wasn’t that long; there was only time for two songs. The song choices were good and they were both good as background songs. The volume transition of the music is good when Mr. Keyes stops talking. Mr. Keyes did a good job explaining each question. (Mike, Jimmy, James, Nick & Jason)**

Matt Matt, It always amazes me just how much the mic pics up when it comes to random noises, and yet placement is key for getting both the interviewer and the interviewee. You might consider having the mic oriented toward the person you are interviewing next time. (Ms. S) Although Peter, Paul and Mary are considered folk, they are hugely important in the social protest era of music and have quite an effect on music of the time. Good interview. (Mrs. W)**

Tim Tim, While I love the Kinks, the music is a bit loud for the interview level, especially when it gets loud/soft kind of unevenly. (Ms. S) • Tim – I liked the music playing the entire time, but it was a bit loud sometimes o Brian – the music was a bit loud for the interview • I liked the song “Lola” a lot o John – the interview was very nice o Ryan – music playing the whole time really simulated the concert experience The way you transitioned songs was very successful. Great questions in the interview! (Mrs. W)**

Amber Amber – I believe it! Ok – we need to do cooler things with our NHS group. You might want to consider fades on the song clips you use. The vocal levels are great, though. (Ms. S) -the level of her voice was really good. We think that the music levels are okay too. -the talking sounded like you were acting, and it sounded like she was reading right off the paper. -really upbeat, like happy sounding. ( Haley, Aj, Ryan S,Brian C, Johnny) Amber, I think it was great how you engaged in conversation with Mrs. Dygert and responded to what she said. Good job with the music. (Mrs. W)**

Haley Haley – Sounds like Mr. Block has heard a lot of music – which makes sense for someone who plays music! The cuts / edits are a little rough. You may want to zoom in some in Garage Band when you cut parts so you can see the breaks in talking a little better. (Ms. S) -the music was really relevant, and I liked the songs that she chose. -there were things in the interview that didn’t need to be in there. -good job incorporating all the questions but still keeping a normal conversation. (Brian C, Aj, Amber, Ryan S, Johnny) There certainly is a lot of information there! But I love how he describes the counterculture of Rock. I think you made a good edit of the song "Walk on the Wild Side". (Mrs. W)**

Ryan M Ryan M – Woodstock! Fantastic! It’s a little hard to hear Mrs. Parent in spots. (Ms. S) • Ryan – I liked that it started as a conversation about Woodstock and switched to the concert at Woodstock o Brian – I think it was fairly nice o John – I liked how Mrs. Parent was really detailed in her answers o Tim – I liked the music playing in the background with the conversation Mrs. Parent spoke very clearly about the Woodstock experience and culture shock. One that can never be duplicated, really. And its quite interesting that the bands weren't yet famous so they got to see them before their major success. (Mrs. W)**

Alex** media type="file" key="Alex Slack's Interview.m4a" width="300" height="50" Alex – My brother used to crank Tull regularly – usually much too early in the morning for me. (When interviewing, talk a little bit slower . . .you go pretty fast.) (Ms. S) Alex’s Pod cast- a lot of songs on the pod cast, and really good editing, sometimes hard to hear a little bit, good interview and fluent through the whole thing, and it was a decent interview.(Andreas, and Ben) In the 70's, glam rock was quite exciting with costumes and such. You should look up some pictures of Jethro Tull to get a full visual of what Mrs. Olsen describes! It was very unique. (Mrs. W)
