For my final audio story I made minimal changes to my original draft. The main change I made was finding a royalty free audio track that was the same length as my interview so that I would not have to edit the music. The draft I created had longer audio than my interview which resulted in somewhat choppy sound editing as I am not very strong suited to edit music. I kept the same formatting as before, I just cleaned up a few answers such as cutting out a few parts and eliminating long pauses. I only used the answers the mother’s and I recorded about our experience in the dance world to make the interview very personal. I considered adding in audio from other dancers but I ended up keeping the original audio only because I found it to be more intimate. Through my interview, I wanted to convey the impact that dance has on individuals as well as the impact that dance has on the world. I used an inspiring track and my mother and I’s own personal experiences to hopefully portray this in a minute. I am happy with the outcome of my audio story as I feel it accurately conveys the message of my blog while also conveying my story as well as my mother’s.

For my audio story I used clips from an interview I conducted with myself and my mother. My mother and I have both been dancing our whole lives so I thought we would be good sources of knowledge for this topic. I wanted my audio story to convey how important dance is, not only to dancers, but to everyone. I combined the answers to give a natural flow to the audio as if it was a conversation. I tried to limit the amount of interview questions because I think the audio sounds better without the questions between every answer. I used a simple piano song in the background as a nod to the piano music played typically in ballet classes and also to give the audio more of an inspiring feel. For my final draft I would like to possibly find some other interviews from dancers over the years that I could use. I also need to either find a better audio or find a way to better edit the audio for my final draft. I am satisfied with how this turned out. Most of what I will change for the final draft will be small revisions to polish this project and make it neater. I think it does a good job of communicating the message of my blog, overall, and fits in well with the other media I have created.
