Magic 899’s Junior Jock Auditions
Its every man’s dream to try radio announcing at least once in his life. Its on my top 10 list of things to do before I graduate college. As soon as I heard that magic 89.9 needed junior jocks I had to audition. It took place in Timezone, Bonifacio High Street branch, on April 4-5 at around 10am-10pm. I really wanted the job because being a DJ is almost like being a celebrity without the paparazzi and the fans but still people know you… somehow.
I waited in line from 4:30pm to 10pm, around 5 hours and 30 minutes. I got so bored. Finally I got my turn. I stepped into the makeshift booth (it was one of timezones karaoke booths) with shaking knees and cold hands. I had to act peppy and loud and excited. I think I went overboard. They threw gay jokes at me left and right and all I could do was laugh and agree because I really wanted the spot. After reading an advert on a piece of paper and trying to convince them that I wanted the JJ (junior jock) position they finally a position. They gave me a spot in boys night out (their best and most popular show not to mention the greenest radio show on air ) once a week. But with what I did in the booth I think I’d be sacrificing my dignity for fame (which is what some celebs do anyway).
I don’t know if I should take the spot?
If you’d ask me, I’d go for it.
