The training field for on-air personalities has always been in radio broadcasting - radio DJ's, talk show hosts, voice-over artists, program announcers, newscasters, weather personalities, sportscasters and play-by-play men all train here.
The fact that the radio serves as the training ground for better and brighter things can be attributed to three reasons:
1. There are more radio stations than any other form of on-air broadcasting, so there are more than enough job vacancies to fill.
2. Radio pays less than other types of broadcasting.
3. Unlike other forms that are measured in 30-minute increments, radio programs are measured in multiple hours. In effect, the on-air personality is given more air-time - as such, he'll be able to polish his craft quickly.
The internet and digital technology have opened up even more doors. It used to require a production truck to broadcast a remote radio show. Presently, all that's needed to run the show would easily fit in a briefcase. In podcasts, on-air personalities already have the opportunity to broadcast their own show through the web - no need for a radio station then.
If you're passionate about music, sports, politics or other broadcast niche; or think you have a good voice for promos and commercials; we can help you achieve your aspirations. Here at Radio Connection, we have been training on-air personalities, voice talents, radio DJ's and talk show hosts, among others, for years.
