What makes a good radio producer? Learn to use technology and distinguish between good and bad sounds; But here are some other skills I think you need. The ability to listen well - both when you are conducting an interview, for example, and when you are listening again to edit. The ability to imagine what the other person does not know and should know. You may know what the acronym CDC stands for, but does anyone in your audience know? Include the full name in your essay. The same skill applies when conducting an interview - don't show the interviewer about your own knowledge - the interview word refers to your role between the interviewer and the audience. ears. Strong knowledge of English grammar, vocabulary and cadence or the language you produce. You have to use few words because time on the radio is limited. Being able to recognize how an essay can be short and clear. A feeling of flow from the question. There's a term we use in radio, and that's segue (pronounced SEH-gway). It's how you move from one part of a story or advertisement to another. Writing for radio is very different from print. In print articles, you put a lot of information at the beginning and less important things at the end, because it can be cut off. In live circles, all the speaker bios can be gathered at the beginning, and maybe all the speakers have a name tag in front of them, or you can look at the schedule. But radio listeners can't go all the way to find their message without paying attention to the beginning - in fact, they may be listening after the beginning. And they can't tell who's talking by sign. For the best listening experience, you want to guide the listener as the speaker briefly explains why, close to when they're speaking - if it's a long speech, then both before and when, and sometimes in between. Yet, while each part of the film should stand on its own, there is also skill in constructing the message so that the audience can learn as the story unfolds - just like when a teacher gives Students message in order to make it better. teaching experience. Not only is there information going on, but there are also emotions. Radio is definitely more intimate, I would say more emotional than television or print. You are not distracted by separate thoughts and images - the voice goes directly to your ears. How we feel is a big factor in how we listen. I was a poet who performed in front of a live audience, and it was a valuable experience to get into radio later. Television often relies on shock value to attract attention. So this story is all about train wrecks, fires and gunfire. Radio can be used, unfortunately, to incite anger and hatred; but it has a wonderful ability to make people feel sympathy, empathy, happiness, love, dispassion, or intelligence. It's good to tell a story. If you choose your interlocutors well, this program will be almost self-sufficient. That brings me to the last thing I will write in this answer. You need a strong sense of honesty, integrity and integrity. These days, photos and videos can be altered and tampered with - we don't know what to believe. But radio has had this ability for a long time. Deleting the word 'won't' can completely change what someone said on the record. When someone gives you an interview, they trust you more than they think. Don't undermine that trust by misrepresenting their intentions - for example, choosing something that isn't right will make it look bad. Try to understand the subject you are working on and have your audience do the same. But understand the difference between explaining and giving ideas. Research the facts carefully, write and edit, and keep your opinions to yourself.
