Composing Cyberspace: Audacity Reflection

Upon downloading Audacity, I found recording to be a simple process but I didn't get into editing at all. I had trouble deciding what to record but when my 3-year-old niece interrupted with a plea to read a book, I decided I could simply record myself reading to her. I then found that she loved to hear her voice and constantly wanted me to replay snips of the recording. I, on the other hand, was not a fan of the way my voice sounded. I did not like to listen to the pieces where I spoke and was not thrilled about posting the recording for the entire class to listen to. I have never been a fan of speaking in public, and to me this was worse than that. Public speaking occurs once, while a recording can be played again and again.

I found it interesting to listen to the recordings of my classmates. I thought that most of their voices sounded much better when recorded, but I know a lot of people don't like to hear their own voice.
