Podcast Interview with an Alien
21st January 2021
Suggested Lesson Duration: 75-90mins
an iPad QuickLesson by Jacob Woolcock
Description
For this #QuickLesson we’re going to create a podcast with a difference – you’re going to be interviewing an Alien! So grab your phonebook and give your nearest alien a call… Oh hang on, we don’t have any aliens on speed dial? I guess we’ll have to do the next best thing!
In this fun activity you’ll learn how to use GarageBand on your iPad or iPhone to record an interview between two characters, with you playing both. You’e going to put some snazzy sound effects onto one of your characters to make them sound like a robot, alien, fairy or monster. In fact you can make them sound like anything you like so you could use this project to make an interview with a book character, historical person, imaginary friend – whoever you like. The only limit is your imagination!
