I had to contact a caller for a special sports version of the 'gone in 60 seconds' segment.
I went over link training with Downsy, where he taught me the 3 stages to making a radio link. It is a lot harder than how DJ's make it seem. Each link consists of an intro which includes the station name and frequency as well as the show and presenter name. It then moves on to the main part of it which could be a live reading, observation, competition or interview etc. Then the final part of the link is all about making sure the listener stays. You do this with either a hook or a tease. For example "We have music from 50 cent, Wiz Khalif and Devlin coming up, also we'll be telling you how you could win a cash jackpot".
I then practiced my links, making significant improvement on last time although my speech sped up as I tried to add more dynamic to my voice, it really is a balancing act between the 2.
As regards to my project it was all about the final planning parts. I confirmed the outline of the documentary. I also made contact with 2 interviewees and am in process of sorting out a time to conduct a phone interview with them.
