PROFESSIONAL LISTENING AND SPEAKING
PREPARING TO BE A RADIO ANNOUNCER

 You must have specific goals

 Ensure you are well researched and well-prepared
 Be personable and genuine
 Tell powerful stories
 Don’t take yourself too seriously
 Share your life
 Be courteous and polite
 Engage with your audience
 Be comfortable with social media
PRO TIP
If you want to improve your live broadcasts,
record them and listen to them back. You are then
able to see what you did well and things that you
can improve upon instead of trying to remember
what you said during your live event and guessing
what went well and what went poorly.
