Intro:
Voice 1
Hey, so do you love music so much that you will die if you have to spend an hour without your Ipod? Do you constantly know what is “in” and not in the music industry? Do you know the lyrics to every song played on the radio? Is there not enough room for more music on your 80gb Ipod? If so, stay tuned.
Song: Giash & Til Yali - My Little Lady Birds (Remix) [Minimal] (plays for 15 sec, then fades in and out)
Voice 1
So, how do you turn your love for music into a hobby and maybe a job?
Voice 2
Well, you might want to become a DJ.
(pause) 5 seconds
Voice 2
Many DJs out there have a passion for music, and their passion and hobby help them make extra cash on the side. Although it is possible to make a living out of DJ’ing, most Djs also have a day time job.
(pause) 5 seconds
Voice 1: So how do I get started?
Voice 2
Well, you have to first start taking baby steps. There are many DJ’s out there who are booked with events and they can not attend them all at the same time, so this leads them to look for people who would be interested in DJ’ing.
Voice 1
Are there any special skills that I will need?
Song: Deadmau5- Sometimes things get complicated
Voice 2
Well, you do need some basic skills. However, a lot of the DJ’s that hire you will teach you these. Seeing that you are handling expensive equipment, you will also need to know the basics of how to set up the equipment, connect all the cords and how to run it. With being a mobile DJ you will often have to drive out to the venue, set up, play, and then tear down, so it is essential to know how to set up quickly, safely and effectively.
The next thing that you will need to know is how to read the crowd and what to play at what time. As soon as you have this down, which usually doesn’t take long, you will begig your career long journey on perfecting your ability to beat match. Beat matching is being able to switch from song to song without the crowd really noticing, and as the name suggest, keeping the music flowing all throughout the night without any abrupt changes or stops. Depending on how good you can beat match is pretty much how good of a DJ you are, and even pros are not always perfect.
(pause), Song. Frederico Franchi-cream
12 second break.
Voice 1: That sounds like a difficult job, is there a fun part to it?
Voice 2: Hahaha, well yea, of course. After you get the basics down, its all about having a good time and being relaxed. You just go with the flow of the night, and there is nothing more rewarding then seeing a crowd go crazy just because you threw their favorite song on.
Song:
Wamdue Project - King Of My Castle (sander van doorn rmx)
Voice 1. So is there any progress in the job, can I start my own DJ’ing company?
Voice 2:
Yea, of crouse. There really is not much holding you back from just going solo and starting up your own firm, however, there are some difficulties. The main thing is money, Dj equipment is not cheap, and you need good equipment if you plan on doing large events and doing a good job. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is not always easy to find customers, so getting your name out there can also be a challenge.
