Yesterday I recorded a radio spot for CIS at Life 103.1 in Sanford. The ad is part of one of our attempts to get the word out about a need for volunteer tutors in the middle schools. Unless you count watching “Good Morning, Vietnam,” this was the first time I’d ever seen the inside of a radio studio. Unlike Robin Williams, I was decidedly not funny.
It was interesting to watch Steve edit my recording with his fancy editing software. By looking at the sound waves on his computer, he added small pauses and took out others to make it fill a 30 second time slot. I had a lisp when I pronounced “Communities,” and he somehow made that sound normal, too. Listen to the ad here:
Steve (whose last name I carefully wrote down on a piece of paper, and then lost) recently returned to Sanford after working for a radio station in the Caribbean for several years. I immediately got a mental image of him in aviator glasses and a Hawaiian-print shirt, watching surfers catch waves through a studio window while he read the weather report.
The 103.1 studio is on the third floor above the Shops of Steele Street downtown.
Great ad!!!! Nice publicity for CIS.
You’re a celebrity in the making
