As you can hear there were many noises, errors, a pause, and me yelling at my son during the recording. The first thing I did was deleted breath sound you can hear before I say some of the words. To do that I just selected the sound by click and drag then used the delete option from the EDIT tool menu to eliminate the sound. I repeated that step to delete microphone noise, my stuttering errors that I made and the part where I was addressing my son. Next, I cut and paste the second ending of my message by using those options from the EDIT menu. Finally, I used the change pitch option from the EFFECT menu to improve my voice which sounded tired. I raised the pitch to give a brighter sound to my voice. I did try the other effect options from the EFFECT menu, but I did not like the results. I love the way the final message turned out. What do you think? Click and listen to the recording below and tell me what you think.
