I have a radio audition in 8 hours!
I'm so very excited! This would be a great opportunity for me. It would be one night a week on one of the most popular stations in town. I know most of the DJs and they are all cool as hell! I'm really excited, but I'm a little nervous too. I don't even have a 'radio' name yet. :D Wish me luck!!!

1. Too cool!!! I did radio for a few years.
Think wild thoughts before you sleep, and drink lemon water or lemon tea in the morning (it 'crispifies' your voice). Remember that UNIQUE is the key!!!

GOOD LUCK!!B-) :7 :party:

7. Pure cranberry also works well - if you have a tendancy to
get a 'sticky mouth'. None of the lemon/cranberry will matter if you 'HAVE IT' personality-wise. Good Luck, and GO TO SLEEP !!!

8. Wish I could!
I'm stuck at work for 5 more hours. :(

I'm hoping my personality shines through, I've always had to make it better than others since I didn't have the looks to fill. :D

13. Nothing wrong w/ that-but I'm sure you are better lookin' than you think !
A person's personality is all that is seen by 'more than shallow' people... and they should be the only ones you care about!

3. Do they have an opening for the Midnight Storm?
I think I know someone who could fit right in

10. Thanks!
Don't want to tell the exact station. :) But it's not a rap one. And what do you want to know as far as format goes?

11. I mean, what kind of music.
Is it the river? I loved that station, but I heard it got taken over by a big corporation and their format changed after I left.

14. Nope, but I love that station!
:) I keep forgetting you know the stations around here. The format of the station I'm auditioning for is... unique. And I think that the River has gotten better.

19. Hmmm....it isn't one that used to
broadcast out of a trailer is it? PM me if you don't mind. I'm just curious.

Its hard to imagine the river getting better. The fact that they had local DJ's who played a lot of different styles of good music that you rarely hear on the radio is what I loved about it. I've never found another station that plays Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams and the White Stripes. Syndicated big corporate radio stations don't do that too well.

20. Almost positive it's not that one.
How about I PM you once I know whether or not I get the job? :) I don't want to jinx it!

They still play a big mixture of things (especially not all main stream artists). Another good local station here is 93.1 the Point.

21. Hehe...
Yeah, when you have some free time, I'd suggest going through all the e-mails one day -- from bottom to top (the order they went online). There's always a bunch of inside jokes and easter eggs in many of the e-mails.

Homestarrunner.com has a *huge* following. :)

23. I had never even heard of it!
It's amazing some of the things you're missing out on! It's so funny because that whole personality/actual appearance is the damn truth!

16. Get some sleep
The voice and mind perform well when they have had plenty of rest.

B-)
