At my internship yesterday, my colleague and I were given a task to create a station tune, each with his or her own unique style. Our supervisor insisted that we must produce it before we could end the internship.

To begin, I had to write my script. In the script, I created a unique station tune format, mixed with voices of different genders. I found out that my colleague used the same format too.

When my colleague recorded her own voice, a high soprano, she used a sound effect from the software which we were required to use to edit the station tune – to change the female high soprano tone to a deep male tone, which was what she intended in her script. The baritone result appeared so cool that one could hardly notice that it was ever a female voice.

It was my turn now. I recorded the entire script with my very deep male bass voice. I edited the required sounds, but the problem began when I decided to change my very deep voice to a high soprano or a manageable female alto.

It seemed the system became confused as the outcome of each attempt seemed horrible. It was nothing close to a female voice. At the end of the day, I had no choice but to plead with my colleague to record that female part for me with her voice.

I was disturbed about why the software began to malfunction when it was my turn to record.

However, after I tried it again at home and the software on my computer system repeated exactly the same thing, comfortably changing the high soprano to a baritone but becoming confused when it was vice versa – I remembered something.

It has always been easier to bring what is up down than to take what is down up. It would be easier to make a rich man poor than to make a poor man rich. Influencing someone negatively has always seemed easier than positive influence.

Life is easier going down than rising up. Be careful what you do when you are up. The force of gravity is almost omnipresent in every sphere of life.
