20 Ways to Become a Great Radio Presenter

Great tips. I started in radio in the late 1970s and one thing that was drummed into me was to talk as though you have only 1 listener: a not too close friend: so you are personal, intimate without being familiar, and you make a real connection. Starting with 'Hi everybody' alienates your listener instantly 'cause they ain't 'everybody'.

Always smile when you talk, it makes your voice sound happy.

I've been involved with radio broadcasting since the mid-1970s. While I was watching this video, I was thinking "I wonder if he mentions listening to your own shows?" and sure enough it arrived very high up on the list. I thihk it's important to listen to the recording two or three days later so that you are in a different frame of mind. More like a listener than a presenter. I have reels of tape from my shows in 1977 that I listen to once in a while. At the time I thought I was pretty good, but now I think "I was awful!" but luckily I have improved over the years. You have great content in this video, and please keep up the good work. Best wishes from eastern Pennsylvania USA.

Thank you I am 14 years old and i really want to get into the radio career when I am older and this video has helped me a lot , thank you :)

Spot On. I have been a DJ on radio for 5 years. I have around 15 of your tips going on - need to work on the other 5 which are really important. Thanks

I've accepted my dreams of being a television host, radio host, and well known podcaster. I've watched craig Ferguson, conan, and joe rogan for years. I dropped out of college for bussiness as I didn't quite know what I wanted to pursure in my life as there is just so many possibilities in life, I thought I wanted to pursure music but that can always be a hobby. Lol I was recording my own late night television show was I was 10 for crying out aloud hahahah!!!!. I just applied to a local radio co host position which just opened up, the timing couldn't be greater, they didn't require a degree, just preferred 2 years of experience. Technically I've been doing this for my entire life!! I'm learning as much as I can about the technical aspect of brodcasting, such as gain, fading, and everything there is. I hope they give me the chance, I could die if I got this!!
