While working at WUMR, a jazz radio station on the University of Memphis campus, I have learned several things that have helped me get through the experience. When I first started working there I was a bit nervous to go on air, I stuttered constantly, mispronounced words, and left out bits of information altogether. I also spoke really fast because I was being timed. After working at the station I was able to feel a bit more comfortable to speak on air. I learned that when speaking slow and steady is the key. I still stutter here and there, but most people can no longer tell.
I have also learned to appreciate jazz music more and was able to find a few artist that I enjoy playing on the daily bases when I am the DJ. I was supposed to be the news reporter and ended up find something more enjoyable. That is playing music that makes people happy and gets them through their work schedule. Sometimes I could be found singing along to the songs.
I have loved working for the jazz station and will continue working there until I can find a career in the field. I am a broadcast student who wanted to work for a news station. However, I have found my new love for radio and I love music so that is why I’m going to procure a career in radio. My parents are even supportive of my new decision. So if they are happy obviously I am headed in the right direction.
