Question

Does the type of speaking voice matter in a radio show host?

Community Answer

You can have any sort of speaking voice to host a radio show, as long as you speak slowly and clearly in such away that all listeners can understand you. Some people have naturally more animated or varied ways of speaking which can better grasp their audience's attention, but this is a quality that anyone can achieve with practice.

Question

Are jingles an important part of radio shows?

Community Answer

The short, catchy tunes referred to as "jingles" that you hear on the radio are more typically used in radio advertising. The idea is that these jingles will get stuck in listeners' heads and help them identify or recall the product or service later. While these are a staple of advertising, you could also create a jingle for your radio show if you can and want to, in attempt to have the same earworm effect.

Question

I want to start a music radio show. Do I have to pay for copyrights to every artist?

Community Answer

If the songs are royalty-free, it's fine. However, if you don't know, don't play the songs or buy the copyright, It's better to find out and be certain than to play the song anyway and violate copyright laws.
