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.

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 :)

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.

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 wanted to be in radio since 3rd/4th grade. I hope my dream becomes real

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!!

I like the sound quality of your microphone 🎤

I'm a truck driver and an avid rabid radio listener. I'm the guy you're trying to keep from switching the station. One thing that gets my goat is the overly fake radio voices. 📻 ......it is an automatic built in response. I'm moving down the dial.

I cant wait to be a radio host

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Please what I should do, if I want to my voice to be clear Please? Or make video for it

Some great and valuable advice but it made me laugh how the 'invest in a great microphone' point was so much quieter than the rest of the audio 🤣

Hey i wanna learn more what if i send you a link you can listen to my staff and tell me whare exactly i am

2:10 - Howard stern and a good many shock jocks around the world would heartily disagree.

Wow. Thanks. Like a third grade teacher with neck hair!

0:37 guess you've never watched Alex Jones

Just read it, national anthem, narrative and our message, if its not ours!! Our chums at Poogle will check (we call listening to a family in the their home competitive research) Don't forget the Powers at be are here for you and your extended family not your Salary and Ownership, they are here for you, Stay Together, Stay Safe, MSM have all of your backs, and use your eyes God bless anyone without sight, I WILL NOT MAKE YOU WALK OFF A CLIFF. I PROMISE YOU XX

Very nice ... but ... Lot of those “rules” are very nice but i cannot find a way how to implement them into reality! 1. My area of expertise is security which means everything serious - Wars Conflicts Attacks Weapons and now “viruses” etc... That cannot be quite nice / happy and make you laugh to much - I am skydiver and a pilot which has been work in defence industry which i think make me person who understand all topic which i cover (virus excluded because i do not know too much about biological / chemical hazard topics) 2. Because i am in that professionally i very clearly know what serious problem is caused from social networks especially FAKJU (Fakbook and Jutube and all other their sister companies) ... I am trying to educate my public not to use Fakbook because it is used against them - If someone is living in non eu member - non nato member - live in state which was NATO enemy for a long time - live in state where nato and west want to achieve their national goals and you are in security area (military / police) than it is very very very possible Fakbok will be used against you for spying … Some of my “colleagues” like Assange and few others already talked much about that in past … I think you all know what i am talking about .. In that manner i am fighting “against” that disease :( using it to educate people - It is hard to be popular talking to people educating them in a manner “not use this because it is bad for you” (Jutube included) 3. I cannot be positive regarding for instance president of county where i live because he is pathetic and very unprofessional - For instance in my country right now media almost do not have any chance to work - Even public transport was totally cut which mean i cannot go anywhere - State organize conferences where only few are invited because they do not want to talk about problematic topic and answer on expert questions … There is simple total cut of in that manner - How to be “nice and polite” with them - Our Minister of defence is DESERTER which do not know anything about security and every answer is “i / me / we bla bla bla” … How to be “nice about those two? :) 4. Ok - i work in real time which mean mistakes are in air - I am trying to make all what i do better and better - Trying is one thing and doing it is another one - It is very hard for instance to be every day at least 1 hour in air if you do all it alone … Can be done but i am now at 50% or lower doing that Because i am for a long time into this (production/photographer and video camera man) and in last few years i am working all that alone doing my own shows i can say to all that your advices are very valuable but like in my case simply not applicable in all situations … I am trying to think how i can improve myself and my own work - Some of those advises are applicable in my situation but only 20-30% but sincerely - if i work them out and do it on daily basis i think it will lead to some noticeable results Normally almost all you talk about is already known to me but putting all those together and making must do list is something which must be appreciated - Many thanks for that - Salute from Serbia - be happy and virus safe :) - PS Did you think about wearing mask because of a virus :)

You forget to say thanks to JOHN SIMONS

what are good questions to ask guests?

And when you are producing content, match your audio levels through out. It will undermine your advice and make you look a bit amateur. Like in this video for instance.

1st Invest in quality and the audio sounds poor.

Helpful tips, but I assume a presenter must be DJ
