Radio Jockey
A radio jockey (or RJ) is a person who hosts a radio talk show where the RJ
selects the music to be played, or topic of discussion, by interacting with the
audience; the interaction is often via telephone, but may also be online, or via
email. This term is primarily used by Indians who coined it from the Western
Disc Jockey. The term derives from disc jockey, denoting a person who plays
music in discotheques and Westernized radio stations.Radio jockeys may start
working for fixed salaries, but their pay increases in proportion to their
experience. Many go on to become voice-over artists, speaking in commercials or
animated shows.
Training
There are numerous media houses that have branched into radio. Because of the
high licensing fees and limited wave bands being made available, only large
corporate houses participate in the medium. This is in contrast to Western
radio, where there are many small companies involved. Further, because there are
relatively fewer radio stations and radio jockeys, jockeys tend to have a fan
following, whereby they will endorse brands or products on their show and people
will listen to only their show.
Radio Jockey Equipment
Disc jockey
A disc jockey, also known as DJ, is a person who plays recorded music for an
audience. Originally, "disc" (sometimes spelled "disk", although this is now
uncommon) referred to phonograph records, not the later Compact Discs. Today,
the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the medium.There are
several types of disc jockeys. Radio DJs or radio personalities introduce and
play music that is broadcast on AM, FM, shortwave, digital, or internet radio
stations. Club DJs select and play music in bars, nightclubs, or discothèques,
or at parties or raves, or even in stadiums. Hip hop DJs select and play music
using multiple turntables to back up one or more MCs/rappers, perform turntable
scratching to create percussive sounds, and are also often music producers who
use turntablism and sampling to create backing instrumentals for new tracks. In
reggae, the DJ (deejay) is a vocalist who raps, "toasts", or chats over pre-
recorded rhythm tracks while the individual choosing and playing them is
referred to as a selector. Mobile DJs travel with portable sound systems and
play recorded music at a variety of events. According to a 2012 study there are
approximately 1¼ million professional disk jockeys in the world.
Club DJ equipment may consist of:
Sound recordings in a DJ's preferred medium (for example, vinyl records, Compact
Discs, computer media files, etc.);
A combination of two devices (or only one, if playback is digital) to play sound
recordings, for alternating back and forth to create a continuous playback of
music (for example, record players, Compact Disc players, computer media players
such as an MP3 player, etc.);
A multiple Sequencer which can mix MIDI tracks with Digital Audio;
A sound system for amplification or broadcasting of the recordings (for example,
portable audio system, PA system) or a radio broadcasting system;
A DJ mixer, which is an (usually 2- or 4-channel) audio mixer usually equipped
with a crossfader used to smoothly go from one song to another, using two or
more playback devices;
Headphones, used to listen to one recording while the other recording is being
played to the audience, or to listen to both recordings simultaneously; and
Optionally, a microphone, so that the DJ can introduce songs and speak to the
audiences.
Other equipment could or can be added to the basic DJ setup (above), providing
unique sound manipulations. Such devices include, but are not limited to:
Electronic effects units (delay, reverb, octave, equalizer, chorus, etc.). Some
club DJs use a subharmonic synthesizer effect which either doubles low
frequencies with energy added an octave lower or synthesizes harmonics such that
the impression of a very low bass sound is added to the mix.
A computerised performance system, which can be used with vinyl emulation
software to manipulate digital files on the computer in real time.
Multi-stylus headshells, which allow a DJ to play different grooves of the same
record at the same time.
Special DJ digital controller hardware that can manipulate digital files on a PC
or laptop;
Samplers, sequencers, electronic musical keyboards (synthesizers), or drum
machines.
A Midi Controller used to trigger different aspects of DJ Software, such as
Serato Scratch Live, Virtual Dj, and Traktor.
Qualities Required For A Radio Jockey
You enjoy talking to people and have a desire to be aware.
You must be original and should have your own style.
Your other voice performance or qualities like mimicry, local dialects and
comedy or humour items helps to carry on the show.
You can't afford to have inhibitions.
You should know how to provide variations and modulation in your voice.
You should be fluent but not monotonous as this may create boredom in your
audience monotone is a surefire way of losing your audience.
Modulate your voice well and your fan following will increase and open the way
to other assignments. If you can sound different on your show, people will enjoy
listening to you.

Alison Steele, (1937-1995),a pioneering disc jockey in New York City born in
Brooklyn .She achieved her greatest recognition as a DJ on WNEW-FM, where she
spun records on the night shift, after a major change in station programming
from an all-female MOR music format to progressive rock. Alison didn't know much
about progressive rock when she started, and neither, apparently did the
management of WNEW-FM. She was basically left to her own devices and in this
process, developed her persona, The Nightbird. She also hosted pre-recorded
broadcasts for the Armed Forces Radio Network in the 1970s and 1980s.
