What Makes A Good Presenter?
You should be confident and able to think quickly on your feet.You should have a relaxed manner on the radio and must be able to work well under pressure, as you are working to strict times and deadline. It is also
important that you have an interest in people, the college and the community. Radio broadcasters need to have clear speech and an expressive voice.

The courses that could help you get there are listed below, as are links to previous students that have made it into the very difficult radio industry by combining their determination with the great opportunities we have given them here at Blast1386.
