Tips Menjadi Penyiar Radio Favorit Pendengar
Banyak hal yang harus dilakukan untuk bisa menjadi penyiar radio favorit pendengar.
Yang utama, sang penyiar mesti ramah dan berwawasan luas sehingga pendengar tidak saja terhibur, tapi juga mendapatkan wawasan (informasi) darinya.
Penyiar mesti memahami dunia radio, mulai dari sejarah, karakteristik radio, penguasaan alat siaran (radio tools), teknik siaran, gaya siaran, hingga genre lagu, pesan dalam lagu, hingga mengenal “biografi” masing-masing penyanyi.
Semua pemahaman itu bisa membantunya menyampaikan “siaran yang berkualitas”, tidak sekadar putar lagu dan baca SMS atau terima telefon.
Knowing the equipment. It’s very important that you know how to use the equipment you will be using during shifts. These include the phone system, CD/tape players, audio editing programs, announcer desk, and what knowing the broadcasting system the station uses. (Wikihow).
Sebelum masuk ke ruang siaran, penyiar hendaknya menyiapkan:
- Songs played – You need to know what songs are going to be played during your shift, and when they are going to be played.
- Artists – Find information on some of the artists you will be playing. Prepare artist news, shows, new albums etc.
- Current Affairs – It’s a good thing to mention what’s happening, including local events and local, national or international news.
- Entertainment – This can include things such as this day in history, celebrity news (remembering your audience), and things that simply occur in day to day living that we can relate to.
Knowledge; Always make sure that you have enough information regarding anything that happens in the world, and in your community. This is very essential because a microphone can drain all your backup information. (Wikihow).
Knowledge, pengetahuan atau wawasan sering dilupakan penyiar muda masa kini. Akibatnya, materi siarannya “kering”, kurang berkualitas. (www.romeltea.com).
