who is a RJ!!!! How to become a RJ....This was the question which gave me sleepless nites for some days,now if you ask me why did it happned soo,my answer would be there was no one to guide me,always facinated by music field i tried to be close to it,i thought Radio jockeying would fullfill my desire, but how to approach,where to approach,what to do are some question always raised in my mind, when i approached with these question to the so called senior radiojockeys there answer would be "good sence of humor,timing,blah blah" but none of their statments could help me.Then i started loosing intrest with all wrong notions in my mind thinking one must be a dubbing artist,must be very handsome[or beautiful],must have back ground so en so forth.so there ended the story!!!! butttttt after some days
It was 8o clock in the morning my friend called me ,said you gotta go for audition in a local FM i said not intrested as "i dont have that in me,"he aksed me whats 'that' i was mum, he said why dont u give a try.Though not intrested i went to there studio met the incharge over there,he aksed me to wait for some time as i was alone toooo many questions falshed in my mind,feeling insecure,restless and helpless i knew i cannot do it. I started cursing my frnd for sending me there.
It was almost 1 o clock i was sitting in the posh office of a telugu Fm,it was like a
software company ,some where in mind i was praying god to give me chace in that radio,but the very next moment i knew i cannot.Creative head came ot ma hahded over a paper said me situation to talk on,i didt know what to write and talk.The reciptionist was literally laughing at me seeing my tension and over enthusiasm.I couldnt find a place to hide my face when i saw her.Then suddenly some one came and asked to get into that "on air" room,the moment i entered i was thrilled!!! that mic,headpones i was on cloud nine,after a min a voice from behind said u got 3 mins to talk cary on,hesistanatly i put on head phones then very next moment i felt like crying my voice was not coming out of my mouth i was feelin so tensed i statred babbling on mic,sound engineer from out side was repeatedly asking me to talk loudly,but no!!! i was feeling like running out from there.I still dont even remembre even a single word i uttered over there.After som time the creatuve head said stop u can come out.I came with half heart i knew i did not do well,i was ecpecting him to give me class[forget many ppl like me come there for auditions] but he just said "come with a prepared script,radio is for lakhs of people around not just for !!!you speak loudly",saying this he went away.The very next moment i decided RJing is not my cup of tea,i will become a music programmer or do my MBA but not a RJ any more.There ended my dream of becoming a radiojockey!!!!
