I Think I'm In Love With You

Today is the second last day for my DJ Course. I feeling kinda sad as the course is ending very very soon.

This DJ Training Course is so fruitful, in a sense that not only do I learn about how the whole radio broacaster job goes, but also know many friends who share the same interest (interested in radio broacasting). Plus I get to interact a lot with the various DJ who lecture us.

Tonight's lesson is all about recording. Me and my partner (Abby) did our recording in the recording studio at Mediacorp Das II, just beside the Traffic Watch room.

The recording studio is not too big (apologies, didn't manage to take picture of the room as I was too nervous preparing for my scripts), but the recording quality that you hear from their speaker is superb.

We are split into two groups, one with Liang Peng (梁萍) and another is with Ng Chit Ling (吴洁玲). My group is under Liang Peng, and felt honour and lucky to be in this group as I overheard that the other group's recording precentation was shorten from 10 minutes to around 3 to 5 minutes. I felt it's rather unfair for the other group's classmates because everyone of us have prepared scripts that can last us for 10 minutes, and they were asked to shorten their to like 3 to 5 minutes on the day of recording. Not enough time were given to them to even re-script their ready prepared script. Just felt the unjustice for them.

Suddenly felt so lucky to be in this group. Liang Peng is a very nice and patient person, who gave a lot of good and wonderful opinion of hers on our recording to us. She correct every one of us on our recording and of course encouraged us so that we will not be nervous.

However, who will not be nervous going in to the recording studio to do their recording (for the first time). As for me, I tried my best to stay calm and not be nervous, as I know that once I'm nervous, that's the end (I will go, ee ee, aa aa, eating lots of screws).

Well, although I did ate quite some screws, but I told myself not to and stay calm. Although the whole recording may not be excellent, but I think for a first timer like me, it's a good start. (applause for myself)

Anyway, after listening to a few of the group's recording, I like a few person's voice. Their voice is so nice and soothing to listen through the mic, which I thought why don't they just audition to go be DJ straight away, they have the nice voice ready there for them, not like me, I need a lot more brush up.

Tomorrow, I will be able to receive my recording for this course. And of course, I will use this recording as a stepping stone for me to improve my vocal and my presentation, and hopefully I can work towards being a Part Time DJ. I will upload the recording here for you all to judge my first voice recording (if it's not too bad ~ I hope) and I welcome all to give me your valuable comments.

Wish me luck.
