DJ shadowing
September 23, 2003
Today I had my first DJ training session with a live WITR DJ on the air. DJ "Amp", also known as Matt Fuller, provided the instruction during the first half of his show from 12 Noon to 1 PM. This will be the regular time frame on Tuesdays that I will be shadowing a DJ throughout the quarter in hopes of eventually getting my own show next quarter.
So far everyone associated with the radio station who I've met have all been warm and welcoming, patient, and willing to help. I'm very much looking forward to this experience as it unfolds and enjoying it every minute.
Do you get to be on the air? :-)
yes, well... er, that's the point of it all really. =P
But seriously, yes, the idea is that a DJ in training works his way up through shadowing a regular DJ until he is able to go it on his own, performing a whole hour live demo on air. So I expect that each week I will become increasingly more involved as I learn what to do, and taking on more responsibilities.
So if you can, tune in and listen to me make a complete arse of me-self! =)
