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.
