Assignment:

Record and enhance an audio clip using the key takeaways from this course.

Steps:

• Record a short audio clip with any microphone of yourself saying a few sentences in the environment that you’re in right now.

• After the course, record the same thing but apply an edit in audacity, and an edit in Premiere Pro.

• After you have 2 clips - one without any post-production and environment design and the other one with, you'll be able to compare the difference between the two voiceover clips and see the progress you’ve made.

  
  

The main thing I want to emphasize is that it’s very important to try out the new things that you learn yourself. Our brains are not designed for keeping information when we don’t put it to use.

That’s why I encourage you to open Audacity and Premiere and go along with me pausing the course along the way and enhancing your voice-over or trying the keyboard shortcuts, tips and techniques yourself as I showcase them.

That way you're going to improve your chances of actually remembering the things you learn when you need to use them in the future.

So whether you create YouTube videos, Instagram reels, or TikToks, this course will help you improve the audio quality of your videos.

Let’s get started! I can’t wait to see what you create!
