Radio Production- My Jingles

Here are my three radio jingles I used samples of music from the following bands, Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir, Iron Maiden, Arsonists Get All The Girls, We Came With Broken Teeth, Trivium, and The Devil Wears Prada. All of these bands fall into the metal genre as my target audience is teenagers who are interested in or are avid fans of the metal genre. I scripted all of the jingles before finally recording them using Soundbooth.

Here is the first Jingle the Station Introduction
This Jingle uses samples from Children Of Bodom, The Devil Wears Prada, Iron Maiden and Arsonists Get All The Girls, there is also a thunderclap sample from the Adobe Soundbooth Server. On my voice i used a Distortion effect to give a raw/rough edge to my intro as it is a metal radio station, the process of fade is also here for example when I say "As well as all the classics" Iron Maidens- Run To The Hills fades in and then quickly out again. This gives listeners a taster of what is to come in my show.

This is my Station News Flash
In the Station News Flash there are samples from We Came With Broken Teeth plus Trivium, I chose We Came With Broken Teeth's song as it sounds dramatic with the drum beat and operatic keyboard effect in the background. Overall the jingle sounds alot like a news jingle. On the vocals I applied a simple Dream Sequence effect as it flowed with the operatic vocal style giving a really dramatic disposition to the whole jingle.

Finally my Station Ident
The Station Ident includes sample of Dimmu Borgir and Trivium. I chose the Dimmu Borgir Song Puritania as the chords are very heavy and give off an instant impression that the show is aimed at a metal audience. I once again used the thunderclap at the end as it bring the ident to a nice quick finish. I am extremely happy with all the samples I have produced, all of which reflect the metal genre, the samples make it obvious the show is a metal show aimed at teens.I enjoyed the project and am very much looking forward to working with radio production more in the future.

The Script for my Station Intro is as follows.

"Welcome To SNC Live. Bringing you all the latest from the metal scene, as well as all the classics, with your presenter George Caley Monday to Friday 8 til 5, 94.5FM"
