On this week of interning I interned with Miss Marcella Jones and I must say I really love her on air voice . Its like she is two different people. When you hear Marcella on the air and hear her in person you can not tell it's the same person. That is so awesome to me. Marcella's show is very tight and tasty but of course it should be so because she is a radio professional who is also on air at Gospel Radio 1390 how awesome is that. I really do admire Marcella and if I wanted to aspire to be like anyone I would have to say it would be Miss Marcella. I just love her voice and the fact that when she is on air she commands attention just through her shining personality.
On Tuesday of course I did my usual and interned with the great Harold Lee Rush. Harold lets you observe to the fullest and he will teach you everything he knows and he is doing just that and I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn from him.
On Wednesday I interned with The great Sir Charles and he was funny and witty as always he really loves being on air and he loves pleasing his audience and I like the fact that when a caller calls in he gives them the listening ear that they want just to vent some of the daily problems and struggles that way some many of us down. He also gives them an encouraging word and plays a song to lift their spirits just awesome.
I also sat in with Shavonne and Vanzant and enjoyed their crazy personalities as they bounced off of each other they make radio fun and not so serious.
On Thursday of course I did my show and what a show it was I am really worried about Marv listening to this show because I stumbled and tripped all over my words I don't even know or understand why I get so nervous it's not like the listeners can see me right? So why do I freak out I still cant understand but I hope to get better and better.
And on my final day of the week I sat in with Wendell who is also witty and comical but his show to me is more talk show like due to the fact that he hold a lot of interviews and just talk segments. He does book reviews and he promotes artist by having them come in to the studio and talk about what they are pushing ex: book, play , movie etc... and he takes a lot of calls his show is more talk than the hits and well its works for him. I did learn from him how to hook up my own personal computer to the sound board if I want to but I think I will stick to the basics I don't want to mess up.

Week four February 14th - 17th
This week was not a good week for me I must say. I say this because I was only able to intern one day. I interned on Tuesday the 14Th with Harold Lee Rush and again I just watched how he breezes through a show and always has material he wants to talk about always together. I really admire a person that has it all together it gives me something to work towards, I always keep the person in my mind that is doing very well due to the fact that I strive to be great just as they are. So in paying attention to Harold's detail in work I will start two days in advance collecting and gathering materials for my show and I will go over and rehearse to myself exactly what I would like to say on air. Hopefully my nerves won't get the best of me and I stutter and trip over words. But as Mr. Marv Dyson says if you are not nervous you are to cocky nervousness is a good thing so I must embrace my sweaty palms and talk to the listeners as if they were my best friend.

Week three February 7th - 11th
On week two of my intership I worked with Harold Lee Rush again and was soaking up more of his easy going spirit and the fact that its nothing to it but to do it. Trial and error is the olny way you learn is his motto and is now becoming mine.
On day two of my internship I sat in again with Sir Charles and helped him find hot topics to bring up and I edited his phone calls on the voxpro machine. I can actually say I have mastered voxpro, this is a device I always found a challenge to use but I did really well with it this time. On Shavonn and Vanzant's show I again found odd and interesting stories for them to talk about on their show and I edited all their phone calls on the Voxpro machine.
On day three of my internship I actually took calls on my show edited them on the voxpro and played them back live on my show. This is something I have never done before and I found it to be a fun and interesting challenge.
On day four of my intership Vaughnell had me to completly run the board by myself and handle all the phonecalls. Those duties included answering the call, editing the call, and playing it back live on air using the voxpro machine. So now I can confidently say I am a master at voxpro it is a device I have come to love.
On day five of my internship I decided to sit in a few hours with radio personality Wendell who is on air every Saturday here at the College. He also has a lively and bubbly personality and he has a totally different method of how he runs the board and I decided to stick to my method because it works for me. Wendells methjod was really complicated he uses his personal computer and hooks it up to the board so he can have his own special sound effects. I will stick to the basics because I am just now getting that.

Week one and two January 24th - February 4th
On my first day of interning which was Tuesday I interned with the great Harold Lee Rush And I kind of just sat back and watched how a professional runs the board tight and tasty with no errors. It can be somewhat intimidating when it comes to running the board. I watched Harold and he flowed so smooth with each touch of the board. I can't wait till I get it effortlessly. I want the board to be as easy as tieing shoes. The one thing I know I must master is Running the AP News. I have trouble understanding The exact timing with that, but Harold put my mind at ease and told me its only as hard as I make it. He told me to just relax and carry out the motion.
On day two I interned with Sir Charles and he has a hyper energy that I really admire. He seems fearless and he loves his on air time. He loves it so much he wants to be hired by the school and taken on as a permanent personality. Charles inspires me to find that wild and crazy person inside of myself that's unstoppable. I love his personality and how he runs his show he takes control of all situations good or bad that occur during his show.I was actually sad his show came to an end for the day I cant wait until next week.
Also on day two of my internship I interned with Shavonn and Vanzant for their 2-5pm show. This duo is so dynamic to me. They work so well together . This team of two showed me how partners personalities should blend. They are so in sync with each other it is really amazing. They both have funny, goofy personalities that go so well together. They inspired me to blend better with my partner Vaughnell French. We have a show that takes place every Friday and I want our show to blend and be more like Shavonn and Vanzant's show.
On day three of my internship I have my very own show on Thursday from 10am - 2pm and everything that I learned from watching my other radio friends I tried to apply those concepts to my own show. I was actually quite pleased with my show. I still get so nervous when I cut the mic on and its time to talk because people can hear me but I learned the key is to just pretend you are having a conversation with a friend and keep it simple. Now in my nervousness I tend to trip over words because I am so worried about accurate pronounciation and Marv makes me nervous too because he puts the pressure on. Marv makes me nervous because after each show he receives a copy of my show which is an air check and he catches every flaw every mistake but he makes you better because he tells you how you goofed up and how to not do it again. He improves me on a weekly bases.
On day four of interning I have a radio show with Vaughnell French from 2pm-5pm and with this show I decided to apply the skills I learned with Shavonn and Vanzant's show and make mine the best it could be. I found ways to blend my co-host interest into mine and I actually had more fun with him than I ever have before.I never became board of him and I decided to be more of a team than just make it about me. I learned a lot this week just from other radio host personalities and I will use these skills I acquired from them on a day to day bases, especially concerning my internship.
