A young radio jock asked me to comment on his aircheck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A couple of my remarks might be useful to someone you know….<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong> My biggest suggestion is that you infuse your delivery with a bit more energy.<\/p>\n

I don’t mean you should sound hyped or phony, just a bit more intense.<\/p>\n

It sounds as though you’re sitting back in your chair. If so, sit up straight and then lean into the mic a bit, tensing your stomach muscles (i.e., tightening your diaphragm).<\/p>\n

That change in your physicality will increase the alertness and intensity of your voice because your body will<\/strong> be more alert.<\/p>\n

Sounding casual is good; sounding bored isn’t.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/strong> When you’re talking to a caller on-air, your voice tone should alter to reflect that of the caller.<\/p>\n

Do you use the same voice tonality when talking to your mother as when talking to your best friend, your girlfriend, or a prospective employer?<\/p>\n

Probably not.<\/p>\n

Is the caller excited, but you still sound completely laid-back? How about letting some of her excitement inform your own vocal delivery?<\/p>\n

Is the caller whispering? Maybe you should respond in a more confidential, personal tone.<\/p>\n

I’m not talking about “pretending” or “mimicking.”<\/p>\n

I’m talking about establishing rapport with your callers and thereby making the conversations more interesting to your mass audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
