After listening once again to Ira Glass speak on storytelling, I thoroughly listened to my audio file for the fifth time and yet again found things that he could help me to change. Obviously, I place emphasis on specific words throughout the piece and invoke long pauses in order to properly portray to the audience the importance of the moment. I went back once again and realized that it would be even more effective if I only use those dramatic moments at a very extremely key points, dispersed throughout.
When I also went back, I decided to pay attention to the way that I spoke to the audience. When I re-recorded my piece, I did so in front of my sister, telling her the story in order to make sure that it was conversational, yet also genuine and full of the necessary passion to get the point across. I was able to listen and make sure that those underlying, subtle messages also came across in the right way, while also leaving room for personal interpretations. Indirectly giving my thoughts on the questions I pose is the way that I want to go about this piece. Music has no certain interpretation and that is exactly why it has such an insane, universal hold on every different culture, race, and both genders alike. That is how I want my piece to be taken.
The last thing that I noted was the way that he speaks about using other queues in our piece. Throughout the next few days, I hope to find a way to properly involve the music that I love, while making it enjoyable for those who may not enjoy the same music.
