Voice Technique for Radio Announcers

Hi, there. This is Eddie Matthews on behalf of Expert Village. A few tips for announcers trying to get a career in radio. In this segment, we're going to talk about sincerity and voice technique. Because this is one thing that you cannot fake at all. Sincerity is one thing that you have to have it or you don't. You can smile; you can do these little things that really enhance how you're going to sound. Especially to the listeners. It's one thing, when we're sharing a medium like television right now, but when you're communicating with someone on the radio, they're listening to you. You may be talking to a whole lot of people, but it's one at a time. And you've got to have that sincerity. The way that you address the client, you've got to know your audience. And with mic technique as well. We all want to have that big, bassy voice, but you're stuck with what you're blessed with. You can use different mics that may enhance and try to add a bit more bass to your voice. But once again, listeners don't really care too much about that. They want to hear someone that they feel comfortable listening to. Someone that has that sincerity, that friendly voice, someone that they can listen to. Because they have that friendship, they have that bond with you. They're going to listen to you for a long time. You've got to have that sincerity. Sincerity works, and that'll keep you going for years to come.
