A Stroll Down Main Street, USA - An enhanced podcast
The space that I chose to take my listeners on a tour of was Main Street, USA at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park. I chose this space because Disney has become a very important part of my life. The atmosphere of Walt Disney World makes me feel very happy at all times, and I used some of my favorite audio from the park's parade and fireworks show in order to recreate that. My target audience is someone who has never been to Walt Disney World before. I address that in this podcast by telling them exactly where they need to go after they get off of the monorail and which way they should get into the park. I also tell them how today, while listening, they should feel like a little kid in the park, something that most people who visit WDW come to realize.
Space and sound interact in my piece in harmony. There are people speaking in the background as well as the parade going on. Popcorn pops as footsteps walk by them. There are so many instances in which these sounds are harmonious.
My intentions in this piece were to gain the interest of anyone who has never been to WDW before. I wanted them to feel the "magic" that they could get there and maybe want to plan a trip there someday. Or, for people like me who have been there before, I want them to feel like they are there again and to help bring back fun memories of that vacation.
