This week during my air shift on 89.3, things went very well! Despite all the work I had done prior to my shift, I thought it was going to be a horrible on air shift since I had been already starting at a computer screen for seven hours by the time I got to the station at 2:30.
I got there in plenty of time, so I didn't have to rush to do my newscast for once. I had time to re-write the stories and learn all the pronunciation if I didn't already know it. I hate feeling rushed to get it done in 5 minutes because reading it on the air is a NIGHTMARE, when that happens. Everything went smooth for the whole 3 hours.
With less errors, I had more confidence to open up the mic more during breaks. Now my only issue is finding content to talk about. I know that a lot of people talk about their lives, but I know that nobody wants to hear what I had for dinner or what time I went to bed. However, I think I've come up with some ways to talk about different things without having to talk about myself, like a lot of other disk jockeys do. That may be comfortable for them, but I'm sort of a private person (unless we're friends) and talking about my life doesn't sound that interesting. I'm not a self-absorbed person so it's harder for me to talk about "ME" to strangers.
After some brainstorming I have some idea's! If you want to hear what they are, you will have to tune in to 89.3 this coming monday from 3-6pm.
