become a radio DJ

I’m in the process of making my mix tape, which will determine if I move on to the next level of training.

I have had a deep ambition to become a radio DJ, i listen to them and cant help but think its my dream job. Im 25 with no experience at all, i used to think i was too old to start this dream of mine. Ive been i touch with my local Hospital Radio to volunteer, and have booked a Radio production night course atb the London Academy of Media, Film and TV. Does anyone have any other tips as to what i can do to help my self and get on that first run of the ladder.

Regards Rich

I started Djing on my pc
and then I Dj’d live @ guaruja beach
and my next show will be next year egypt north coast
but I’d like to DJ online and I need help to do that

It was only for a couple months in late 2005, but still. It’s not something I’m ready or willing to do full-time. Or even part-time.

I want to become a radio dj

I am about to do this at my college and I think it will be pretty fun.

I am a DJ on my high school’s radio station; we have the same equipment and music as top 40 stations like 99.5 and a supervisor who worked on radio for years giving us tips..

it’s a blast expressing yourself on air…having debates, letting the audience give you input and just saying what you want to say and have people actually listen. totally worth it

ssss

Even though I started a bit later than most(34), it was a dream come true breaking into sports broadcasting in the Washington DC market.

Covering Georgetown basketball, the Redskins, Bullets[now Wizards], interviewing guys like Sugar Ray Leonard, Macho Camacho, Joe Gibbs, John Thompson and a bunch of others was an incredible experience.

Getting paid to do something I loved almost seemed like stealing. The money wasn’t great, but I was able to parlay my exposure in the community into other paying gigs(VO’s, Appearances…).

If you’re beyond college age like I was, you’ll have to be wise about breaking in, as I discovered broadcasting schools were ripoffs. I read a report by a guy in the business for a lot of years at broadcastingcareer.com, it made sense, I followed his advise and went for it, and eventually found my way on WTEM in a large market.

Best job I ever had because it hardly seemed like work. Coming back to L.A. was a career mistake but a family necessity for me at the time.

working at a station is the best thing that has happened to me!! it5s fun and i get to go to free concerts!! and im not even out of high school yet!
