Name: Robert Dale McCubbins
Position: Program Director / Production Manager
History: I've been in radio 23 years, however, I've had several radio and TV
gigs concurrently, TV during the day, radio nights and weekends, so if you add
all those up, I've got nearly 45 years experience... don't I wish it counted
that way with retirement!

My motivation to be a part of this business was
pretty simple. I just had some weird left turn tangents, that swung me around to
what I really enjoyed doing ... like, when I was a kid, I pretended to DJ the
radio that I'd listen to... but going through jr & sr high, and college, I
got away from that idea. I love talking to people... and I love music ... and
God literally led me to where I am today ... because, initially, I'd wanted to
be a concert classical guitarist in college.
My initial advice to you as an up and coming talent: PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE!
Find a small station close to a burger or pizza joint and get a job to pay for
your addiction, and volunteer to get your fix... you may be lucky ( or unlucky!)
enough to start out and actually get paid to be in a small (real small!) radio
station... but with corporate ownerships taking over, you'll really have to
convince Mom & Pop that you can do what they want and need. If it is really
in your heart to be a part of this business, you will find a way. If your young
and want to know what you can do to prepare for this
business,
READ OUT LOUD!!!
start
by reading these 10 sure ways to help you prepare for a career in Radio
Broadcasting
* Tell stories to younger siblings or cousins, volunteer at the library for
story time, get in front of people and READ ...... because you have to make it
interesting, everything you say, voice inflections, tone, emotion.
* Take speech, debate or theatre at high school or the public theater.
* Offer to read bulletins in church announcements...
* LISTEN!!! listen to actors, speech makers news-weather-sports-casters.
* Get audio speeches from the library, get audio recordings of Wolfman Jack,
Larry Lujack, Scott Shannon, etc. listen to the DJ on air...
* ALWAYS READ & WRITE!!! whatever you prepare to say... write it down, and
try to make it more concise.... The best book I've read in a long time for radio
and I HIGHLY recommend it... Milo Frank's "How to get your point across in
30 seconds or less"
* PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE... get a tape recorder / video recorder and
practice...
* Know what you sound like, work with your high school speech teacher and ask
for help with pronunciation.
* Get into school plays, volunteer to read announcements over the intercom... to
quote Nike just do it!.
* Once you get your first job, repeat this list throughout your entire career !
