What To 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.

*Making a Demo tape is an important step. When you contact a program
director, the first question they'll ask is, "Do you have am MP3, a
tape or CD Sample." To make your sample, I suggest getting in touch
with a radio station in your area and asking them if you can get a
tour of the radio station. Then once you're at the station, ask if you
would be able to make a demo tape. You'd be surprised to find how many
radio people are willing to help you out. If you can't get into a
professional studio, then record yourself on an MP3 player and submit
it to a Program Director. As far as what you say on your demo. You
might want to transcribe your favorite radio personality as a guide.

The next thing you'll want to accomplish is to talk with a program
director. Be persistant, but not overly persistant. I suggest sending
an email, since they can respond to you on their time. Talk about your
love for radio and that you'd like to help out the radio station in
anyway you can.

*Once you have your demo tape, it's time to send it to area program
directors for your first chance to be on-air. Remember that each Radio
Programmer is looking for specific types of voices for their radio
station. Don't be upset if you don't get a callback right away or if
they don't think you'll fit the station. If you send out 100 CDs or
MP3 samples, your chances are good that someone will think you have
what it takes. So don't give up.

*There are many people who say they'd like to become a radio announcer,
but never pursue their dream. If you love radio enough and want it bad
enough, I know that you'll be a great success
