How to Become a Radio Personality By Chris Kellogg
Plenty of people wish they could be an on air radio personality. Have you ever wondered if you could make it? Here's how one morning show radio host suggests you get started.
Has someone told you that you have a voice for radio? Do you like to meet people? Are you willing to learn and put your ego aside? Then you might have what it takes to break into the radio business.
I feel like it's important that you know who's writing this article, because there are many people who claim they know how to get into the radio business, but have never worked in the industry. I started off at a small AM/FM combo radio station in Ithaca, NY in 2003. I was going to Ithaca College at the time and wanted to do anything I could to get my start in my dream of being on the radio.
If you have a passion for radio and you've got the heart and determination to be an on-air announcer, that's a good start. Most radio program directors (those that hire announcers) like people who are willing and eager and display a true love for the art of radio.
Are you still here? Do you want to take the next step? Here are some suggestions on what you can do now
1.) Make a Demo Tape. 2.) Set up an interview with a program director. 3.) Be persistant, but not annoying. 4.) Take any job at a radio station you can get. 5.) Don't take "no" for an answer.
Or... you can follow in the footsteps of Auntie and Alicia... Host your own Blog Talk Radio Show.... It's Easy!
