I used the college's sound effect library to choose my sound effects. I used a programme called Adobe Audition 1.5 To record the sound I used a microphone called Shure SM58 through a PC using a Mackie Mixer.

Below are the techniques I used and the skills I learnt through completing my preliminary task:
• To introduce the Jingle I used a whoosh effect.
• To make recording radio easier I recorded Matt's, Yossi's and Rafi's parts separately to reduce risk of error.
• In addition I could also spend more time to ask the actor to repeat their lines if they made a mistake.
• I took out mistakes by zooming into the audio and deleting any mistake and unwanted sounds like heavy breathing and stuttering.
• I cut and pasted the lines together to make conversation.
• I added a short/ slight delay effect to make the jingle-actor's voice seem more electronic (fatter) which is an effect commonly used on radio jingle's.
• I learnt that I should take more time directions the actors' reading the lines so they have the right tone and performance.
• For example, the actor for Mr M should have raised his voice so it sounded like he was speaking over the loud crowd.
• For the crowd sound in the archive clip, I was able to fade in new sounds over existing ones for example the cheer at the end of the acceptance speech I used an adult audience mixed with a younger female audience cheering from a pop concert.

• I used the multitrack option so I was able to layer sounds alongside each other for example the whoosh sound effect and Rafi's voice for example. The following sound file concludes my point.
I added compression which is used in all kinds of mixing as a way of balancing the soft and loud sounds so that it makes everything audio sound 'louder.'
