FOR NEXT WEEK
1. SPEECH RE-EDIT
Find a recording of a political speech downloaded from YouTube or archive.org etc.. Your task is to draw the listener’s attention to the rhythms and flows of the speech rather than to the content being expressed. You can use repetition, time stretching/compression, pitch transformations, any kind of editing. (All of these operations are possible in Audacity.)
If these are video files, make sure to save them as / convert them to audio formats for editing (mp3, WAV).
Online YouTube to MP3 converter. Another one here.
