Issue #128 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Radio Connection student Mary Mau is getting the inside 411 on what it takes to work in radio, straight from her mentor DJ Maleko, digital program director and on-air personality at Star 101.9 (Honolulu, HI): “I’m very excited to be working with Maleko…He has a very calm and clear demeanor while still being lighthearted which made it easy to communicate…He said ‘Unlike others who apply at the radio [station] for a job, I’m going to help you learn how to use the equipment and control and harness your voice so you will have experience which will help you land a job’ which made me feel more confident about my future voice work under his leadership. I’m excited to see how far I can propel myself into the radio community of Honolulu!”
Just weeks into the program, Recording Connection student Khori Brown, apprentice at ACME Recording Company (Rochester, NY) shares a bit of the perspective he’s gained when it comes to setting up and establishing the right tone in the room: “Today I had a sit in at the studio my mentor, he was recording a new song for a group…I watched as my mentor warmly welcomed all of the artists as they came into the studio. I felt that was very valuable for me to see how the engineer sets the mood and gets everyone ready to work…Can’t wait to get back!”
