Working on radio always has been appealing to me, cause i get to talk haha. It really wasnt how i expected it to be like, it was better and was really just heaps fun environment to be working in i think.
I gained alot of skills and knowledge that have really helped me see what i want in a career and helped me understand the industry of radio a whole lot more, and see it from a different perspective. I think just really learning alot of the basics in editing and just the way i can use my voice in different ways were the main focus of skills learnt but just the knowledge of how a community radio station works and runs even though it faces some of the hardest hurdles and relies so much on the goodness of the community and listeners.
I received a bit of feedback, mostly just regarding how i use my voice on air, and some pointers on what to fix up and the projection of my voice, but it all comes in time and alot of practice but it got heaps better as we went on and still is better yet now, listening from the first night we aired to now we are ten times better.
It really also impacted what i though of a career and my goals, i think someone my age usually is still searching and looking for the right career path, but working on radio really helped me to cement that idea in my head and put it into reality. It was great and hopefully ill continue with my studies at Uni next year and in the near future as well as begin to get the experience under my belt and hopefully finally find somewhere i can put all that together and make a career out of it.
I have gained alot, and learned alot, and i think by doing work experience and work placement really gives people that direction in what they really want to do, and it enables people to try new and different things in career paths. It was great fun and cant wait to see what radio in the future for me will be like.
