This project addresses the challenge of creating accessible, multimodal content that engages diverse learning styles without requiring extensive manual effort. By utilizing NotebookLM, I transformed a static PDF presentation deck into an interactive podcast audio file, allowing learners to engage with the material through auditory content. This solution enhances accessibility and saves time, making it easier to deliver information in multiple formats for different audience needs.
Multimedia Communication
Involves the strategic use of multiple modes—such as text, audio, visual, and interactive elements—to convey information, enhancing comprehension and accessibility by catering to diverse learning and communication styles.
Voice Acting for OTT Commercials
This project involved providing voiceover work for OTT commercials targeting a global military audience. Using Rhetorical Theory to build trust through tone and User-Centered Design to address the unique challenges military families face during PCS moves, I ensured the messaging resonated deeply with the audience. By carefully pacing the narration to reduce cognitive load, the content was both engaging and easy to understand, making it an effective ad for OTT platforms like Hulu and YouTube.
Musical Influences on Video Engagement
This project examines the impact of musical variations on the emotional tone of video content through Multimodal Theory. By using the same video, script, and setting while changing only the music, I demonstrate how different musical soundtracks can evoke shifts in mood—ranging from calm to upbeat to whimsical—showing how music influences audience perception and engagement.
Voice Narration for Commercial Video
See Reducing Cognitive Load Theory in action as I allow for intentional auditory pausing in this commercial video. UCD is in effect as well when I use direct appeal to help the audience self-identify and connect quickly with the content.
Using Music to Teach Homophones
When creating my homophones song, I applied Universal Design to make it accessible and engaging for all learners. By incorporating simple language, clear visuals, and a catchy melody, I ensured the lesson was easy to grasp and enjoyable for children with diverse learning needs.
Voice Narration for #1 WordPress Plugin
See how I applied Rhetorical and Semiotic Theories for the company behind the world’s leading WordPress calendar plugin. In the voice narration I was able to match their brand’s style with tone and ethos, creating a video with an approachable and user-friendly vibe, appealing to both new and experienced WordPress users.
