Rupin, Rupin, Rupin...
You must accept criticism. That's the only way you are going to improve - we all have to start from somewhere you know, sweety.
FIRST RULE. NEVER EVER refer to your listeners as "people". You are always doing it! DONT!
Rupin example: "Ok people, we have......"
Wrong!
You should be saying "OK, we have....."
Instead of saying "If you people want to win...."
You say
"If you want to win"
"This is the last tune people" - SAY > "This is the last tune"
So stop it! Refer to the listener as if there's just the one person listening - so use you. How are you this morning? Give me a call. If you like your smooth grooves"
Hope you get the drift there.
You also need to change your style on the air. You sound a bit monotonous with the way you talk. Put in a bit more zest and energy! Sound as if you are really interested in your music and listeners! Right now it's the total opposite and will make people turn off.
You have a few people here who already spotted your first slip up on the message board - the posting of a message by someone called "Nicole". It's very obvious that you posted the message to try and make yourself look good. Bad Mistake!
It makes you look desperate for positive comments and also look very silly. Rather like pie in the face as has happened here.
Why not allow all GENUINE comments, good or bad, in your thread? Accept them all rather than making stupid comments about their origins or authencity? Why not perhaps be professional about it? Either say "Yes I can do better, watch this space" or if you can't do something then say why.
Swallow your pride and rid the ego and start improving yourself. Eventually critics (like me!) will be gone!
Take care and hope to hear you on the radio soon.
Laura (and yes I work in the radio industry)

Laura T,
Ok, you're quite right about some of the things you say and also quite wrong about other things.
First of all I'd like to thank you for taking the time to express how you feel, I do read all the messages that refer to my show (The Groove Skool Sundays 12-2pm) and try to respond to them in an open manner. Remember I don't need to make myself look good, it just happens.
May I point out, right now that the message posted under the name of Nicole was NOT written by me. It's a shame you think it was but that's probably because you don't work in the radio industry at all.
Anyway, let's pick up on a few points made by you...
I know sometimes I might sound a bit monotonous as you say or even a bit bored but let me tell you I cirtainly am not. It's not easy sounding chirpy and up for it every Sunday no matter how you feel, sometimes I very tired from the night before or may not be feeling particularly talkative that day. I do love the music and sometimes this is what pulls me through, I think that shows when I'm on the radio. Remember I do make every effort to produce a good show every week and yes I'm always learning along the way so that I can improove.
As far as the use of the word "people" I didn't invent it's use, I suppose I picked it up listening to other shows. Personally I think it's use gives a feel of a lot of people listening, which if you listen every week, there usually is and the show is always quite busy. This speaks for itself, unless you think I also call & text myself on the show to appear more popular when I clearly don't have to.
Thanks for your comments Miss "Radio Industry" and feel free to E-mail me direct by clicking my name on this page.

Oh, look I've just noticed something about the message posted under the name Nicole...
It was written at 12:37 on Sunday 21-10-01
When I'm actually on the radio live !
So there's no way I could have wrote it.
How silly do you feel now ?
Sorry Laura Miss "Radio" there's proof that your accusation is completly unfounded.
Also I'd just like to say a big thanks to Nicole, obviously wrote her message whilst tuned in to The Groove Skool one Sunday...
