WHEN YOU SIT DOWN, LOOK OVER THE FILES FOR ACTUALITIES. THEY SHOULD
BE LINED UP TOP TO BOTTOM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE PRODUCTION – TO GET IN, GET SAT DOWN, PUT ON
HEADPHONES, CHECK LEVELS AND START RECORDING, YOU WILL HAVE NO
CREDIT FOR THE PROJECT.
Put on your headphones and be sure the channel is at a level that is good for your voice, then
play back one actuality and see that the channel is on and the level is good. **You will have to
‘ride levels’ so as each item plays back, it peaks at just below 100%.
When you’re ready – within one minute of sitting down, push the record button –
and start your newscast.
DO NOT STOP – this is ‘live to tape’—
one single ‘as if live’ radio newscast.
You will start with…
