The Portfolio Podcast that I have created is to show my improvement of digital editing and communication skills throughout the course. Some ways that I have noticed that I have improved starts with my confidence while reading the script. I always struggled with being nervous over the camera while talking, and I found by the end of the semester I improved with being more confident in that field. Another way that I have improved was my editing skills. I found myself struggling with basic editing and not being able to come up with ideas. But by the end of the semester I found more sounds off freesounds.org, and I found better music that fits better with my prompts that I created. This class has also helped my communication and reading skills, this point starts with reading off a script while being nervous. I found myself getting scared before recording but having to persevere through. And that has taught me to be able to read outloud in a professional manner. Lastly, this class has helped me with creativity. Being a nursing major has made me overlook the whole view on how important creativity is. And this class has allowed me to dig deeper into what creativity should look like. 

Overall this course has allowed me to gain confidence through my digital editing and communications skills. And this portfolio podcast has allowed me to put all my projects from the very first podcast to the last, together, to show students that improvement is a real thing. This course was challenging at times, with being creative, but it has taught me more knowledge than I thought, that I didn’t know I needed. 

The audio I used in this podcast is Hovercraft Hyperpop Instrumental from Freesounds.org. I wanted to use something fun and upbeat.
