How an Open Heart and Mind Keeps You in Shape
Beth here.
I started in radio and TV a good five years prior to the birth of my first daughter. And now, she’s in her mid-twenties. What can I say after all this time?
Stay a student of your craft.
If radio is your thing, listen to a lot of radio. Different kinds with different personalities. Note how they make you feel. What works. What can you work into your delivery. Reach out to the Talents you hear via social media. They are so approachable now. We are all people who need people (thank you Barbara Striesand). Give them the feedback you’d like to get.
Not only that, show up every day. Exude integrity and fill in at the last minute, learn something new, start small, bake cookies and seek ways to serve. Know that every listener and co-worker is a person God is trusting you with on-air. So respond to listeners who reach out to you. If they take the time to share take the time to answer back.
And pray. Pray a lot.
Plus you might try an improv class.
