Though the popularity of radio had suffered badly with the arrival of Television
and Internet, the opening of the FM radio to private channels has infused
a new life to radio. Radio Jockeying is an exciting, promising and challenging
career for those who have a passion for music. It is the only profession in
which one may be recognized by their voice.
Radio Jockeys are those who anchor music programmes on radio. The task of
a RJ is to entertain the listeners by playing music or conveying messages
in a most attractive and sophisticated way. They play requests from listeners,
interview guests, manage contests and also provide information on the music,
weather and traffic. This is a profession which requires a lot of hard
work and presence of mind. It is the performance of these Radio Jockeys that
makes or mars the radio station. Mostly youngsters are preferred in this field
as they have new ideas, concepts and are bubbling with enthusiasm.
Every successful Radio Jockey has their own style of communicating. To make
an imprint in the listeners heart, apart from a good voice, the Radio Jockey
should be warm, friendly, spontaneous, dynamic and must possess good communication
skills. One who is interested in this field must keep on observing how the
RJ's handle the calls, interact with the listeners, how they answer tricky
and awkward questions and comments from the listeners etc. Prospective candidates
must listen to a lot of radio, try and come up with innovative ideas and pack
their voice with energy.
