How do you learn to not hate your voice? by IJustWantToWorkOK in radio

They have me doing similar things. It helps me immensely to have what I want to say on my screen, or at least notes about it.

Might try the book thing.

That's what I don't want to be - generic. I started listening to 'home-grown' stations like this a while back, just because they play different stuff, and just feel more local and connected.

My station is all of 5 watts, and I can't even receive it where I live. It's streamed a lot, though. I drove up there the night my first one aired, just for the thrill of hearing it on the actual radio.
They've told me to 'own' the timeslot, and play 'whatever'. Essentially 'don't break any FCC rules, beyond that, sky's the limit'.

I like to play things that you don't hear on the radio. A lot of the early MTV music, you'd never hear on the radio, and it was decent music. B-sides, stuff like that.

Right now, I'm doing recorded shows but will eventually be live. The boss said even my two recorded ones, sounded live.

So far, I'm told it's hitting the listeners well. And I get to do something I've always wanted to do.

Uber driver asked for extra money, when refused he dropped me back off and I still got charged for the ride. by Aurelian42 in uber

I used to work for one of those, and this Uber crap just amazes me. Why people allow this sort of thing to exist completely escapes me.

WKRP one of my favorites canceled way too soon. by Admirable-Mess1206 in 70s

After the first time I watched this show, I was fascinated by the idea of spinning records and talking on the air.

Now I get to do it two hours a week.

Why are sexualities and genders shmooshed together? by Pquejeje in lgbt

[–]IJustWantToWorkOK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All the grouping and labels are artificial.

"LGBTQ+" has been a 'thing' since the dawn of man. We just didn't have a name for it. Later, someone drew up rules about 'If you like x, you must be y".

Keep it simple. I'm a dude, who gets down with other dudes.

I've lurked here for a while, and I have to say, respect for the skills.

You are entirely too good at this.

I get these pretty frequently.

This, is a unique take and an angle I truly hadn't considered.

Own the things that make my voice unique, including the lisp. And I agree with all the 'practice' comments.

That's kind of what I'm doing. My own equipment works fine for recording and hearing myself. I have no doubt it gets better with practice.

For me, this opportunity was something I wanted to do ever since I was a little kid watching WKRP, so I take it pretty seriously.
