Audio Story Components

Characters & Experts
My expert for my audio story will be Vonda Whitted, a former commercial and private bank teller, social worker, and current bookkeeper for a public elementary school. Her entire professional career has revolved around money. In her interview, she speaks about working in private banking and helping clients make important purchases. She contrasts this with her work in Social Services working to provide those in need with appropriate service (EBT, WIC, etc). She currently works in an elementary school where she makes purchases for school supplies and trips for the students. With such a diverse background in finance, she was a good person to interview because she would have different perspectives on money.

My original interview is with my roommate Bianca Bullock. She was a good person to interview because she comes from a town with such a diverse financial environment and attends a college very different than her hometown. She will have different perspectives on money based on the different types of people she has met over the past few years. She is unbiased because she does not belong to any extreme wealth group and has met a myriad of people.

The third interview was conducted with finance major, Denny Slay. He is a good person to interview because he is currently taking classes pertaining to money and wealth and has a deeper understanding of concepts than the average person. He is analyzing the different patterns of taxation, inherited money, and other factors in determining wealth in society.

Background Music
I already included music in my previous blog post but want to change it. The original music I chose sounded too dismal for the topic I was speaking on. I used Free Music Archive for this original music but did not make note of which song it was. I am considering using more jazz music to seem more upbeat and exciting.

Rainy Nights (KieLoKaz)
Clowns (Dee Yan-Key)
Lost World (Dee Yan-Key)

Foley Sounds

Based off of the sound effects reading, I decided to make a sound that related to money. There were no examples closely related to money so I created my own. I took a handful of change and dropped it on my desk to create the sound of change falling. I will probably use this sound in the intro of my audiostory when I introduce the topic of money.
