My Third Year Audio Project

Hi everyone. For todays blog post, I want to share with you my third year audio project. I actually did this project for the Wellbeing Centre at the University of Lincoln. I created these three pieces of audio to help raise awareness for anxiety, OCD and autism. You can check out my post here, where I talk about having anxiety and OCD. I decided that for my last audio project, I wanted to work alone and to create something that is personal to me and to create something that I want to create.

As I am an Audio Production student, I have a huge love for sound and I love being to create radio documentaries, dramas and podcasts. I also really love recording and editing. Anxiety and OCD is something I really struggle to talk about. I wanted to create something where I can share my own personal experiences, but do it through a way that allows me to do it creatively. I felt that in the anxiety and OCD audio pieces I was able to do this. For the piece on autism, I used audio that I recorded along with with two other media students, to create a short piece of audio to help raise awareness for autism, using Callum's interview and also two poems that I also recorded of Callum performing them.

Under each of the audio pieces below, I have included a brief description of each one along with the music info used.

'I Have Anxiety' shares my personal experiences of having anxiety. I struggle to talk about having anxiety and OCD, which is why I have created this audio piece along with 'I Have OCD.' I don't want to feel scared because at the end of the day, even though I don't want it to be and I wish it wasn't, OCD and anxiety is part of me. And so I want to continue to help raise awareness for mental health. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean that it is not actually there.
