Audicity Experiment: Vocabulary Words for Standardized Tests

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 05:46:26 +0000

The recording is 8 minutes long and is comprised of approximately 40 vocabulary words and their definitions. With this production, 30 Second Words podcast has broken into long form territory with the first of three Vocabulary Study Aids. This was recorded in 2006 in preparation for my Graduate Record Exam (GRE), primarily as an exercise in the Audacity open-source sound editing software. I am listening to them tonight and thought they seemed useful enough to share.

I would urge you to use these podcasts as supplementary material for a Princeton Review, Barron’s or Kaplan’s Study Guide to the Graduate Record Exam (General). Don’t fret over which publisher, just get one!

Note: Writing credit for the definitions goes to one, if not all, the publishers listed above. I will admit to some shoddy record keeping as they were intended for personal use. I remember getting the list from a website that listed one of these three books as a source. If you find these useful, please consider purchasing one of them from the link below.

The Plan

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:29:39 +0000

The initial goal of 30 Second Words were a series of GRE and SAT words, defined in humorous or conversational style, thus making the word memorable. Each podcast is are no more than 30 seconds long. Folding in some short, well-produced 30 Second learning lessons into your random IPOD playlists may be useful to a budding academic. I have the content as I hired voice talent Steve Anderson to write and record fifty of these so-called 30 Second Words. They have some limited interweb-based commercial value in terms of advertising.

Fifty of these 30SecondWords have produced and await editting. We’re gonna start-out slow and podcast a “30 Second GRE Word” once a week. But, its not just about words for standardized tests. A friday schedule will allows for more content into the programming schedule during the week.

So I will produce and voice the short, but well-produced, podcasts on a myriad of topics. I would like to have a large enough population of listeners to support advertising for growth and more ambitious projects.
