Joanne's Take on Radio

With a background in radio, here are three tips I can give you on doing radio interviews:

1. Speak up

2. Be energetic

3. Be mindful of time and breaks.

Doing radio interviews can be so much fun but there are things to keep in mind when doing so.

If you have ever been in a school or church choir, then you know about using the diaphram. Use it during radio interviews and speak up.

Remember, from the moment you open your mouth, you need to project energy. Then up that by 10%. Really!

Knowing the length of the interview and whether or not there will be commercial breaks is critical. Knowing whether an interview is 5 minutes or 35 minutes will give you a very good idea how long your answers should be and how many stories you will be able to tell to demonstrate each point you want to make.

Radio interviews are a fantastic way to promote your book. Be mindful of these three tips and you will be off to an excellent start.

Oh, and tip #4: Have fun!
