Becoming a Radio/ TV Presenter

    Hi All,

    I am a 17 year old Leaving Certificate student. I have a huge interest in broadcasting and aspire to be a presenter in the future. Some might say that is unusual for someone of my age to have a strong interest in politics at my age but I am fascinated by it. I am also an active sportsman playing GAA at county minor level as well as soccer and golf at a relatively high level. I believe that my interests will help me in a career in this business.

    If there is anyone out there with experience in this area I would appreciate if you could help. What should I study in college? What should I do to enhance my CV? How can I prepare for such a career?

    Thanks!

    Craol have community stations across the country, if there's one close by get in touch. They're always happy to have volunteers. A lot of the big universities have a radio station as well usually run by the students for the students. Experience is the key, get as much of it as you can in all aspects of the medium.

    Audacity is decent enough sound editing software and it's free if you want to get the ball rolling recording and editing some demo demos.

    Best of luck, it's a tough business to get into (I've been trying on and off for a while) and requires full commitment.
