    RADIO JOCKEY AND ESSENTIAL QUALITIES TO BECOME AN RADIO JOCKEY

    A radio jockey is a person who hosts shows for specific durations of time. S/he manages
    playlists, advertisements, entertains listeners and often indulges in conversations with listeners
    regarding concerned topics.A radio jockey is given a period of 3-4 hours of fixed time every day
    or during weekends, to entertain listeners. The show s/he hosts have a certain theme (just like
    television shows). It can be a talk show where the host solves issues of the listener of a certain
    kind, a storytelling show where the host narrates stories, a news bulletin and or even a comedy
    show where the host mimics and pranks people for hilarity.

     Being a Radio Jockey, like any profession, requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and
    the right aptitude to be successful. Below are a few necessary skills :

    1. Ability to Modulate Voice: Voice modulation is the art of adding expression to your
    voice, being aware of when the voice should be loud, what phrases should be
    emphasized, etc.

    2. Being Up to Date with Trends: it is very important for an RJ to read a lot of newspapers,
    trivia and be updated about current issues, news, films and latest movie releases, etc. as
    people really look up to radio jockeys for that information.

    3. Sense of Humor and Spontaneity: As a radio jockey, you will always be live because
    nothing as such is scripted. There may be times when the situation or a program goes
    unplanned, you should be spontaneous enough to handle it and witty enough to tackle
    it.

    4. Clarity of Speech and Correct Pronunciation: As a radio jockey, when you speak, you
    won’t want to seem inapprehensible or difficult to be understood. At the same time you
    wouldn’t want people to be mocking you or young impressionable minds to be catching
    the wrong pronunciations.

    5. Being Expressive and Creative: There will always be chunks of information which would
    be boring for people to hear but you should be able to create and express it in a
    nonchalant funny way to get through the listeners without boring them.

    6. The ‘X’ Factor: Listeners have a plethora of radio channels to listen to. But to add them
    to your listenership permanently, you need to attach an identity to yourself for them to
    hang on to. For example, a certain sort of mimicry, or a lingo, anything quirky out of the
    box yet entertaining for them to come back to you always.
