Let's become radio journalists
Did you listen to the BBC Worldclass News Bulletin?
Don't worry. You don't have to understand everything, just listen to the way the person speaks!
To broadcast means 'to send out a radio programme'. Speaking as if you were on the radio is easier than we think. You don't have to be afraid, even if you think you don't have a 'radio voice'. What you say and how you say it is very individual. However, here you have some reading aloud tips which can help you:
Sound effects and music
They make your story more interesting and help the listener understand the content. The editor/presenter of your group will pre-select some options.
You can use:
a) Background effects for your individual scripts. They recreate the atmosphere of the place where the story can take place.
b) Jingles for the bulletin, which become part of the story. They keep your work alive and give continuity. You can make different versions of the jingle to start and finish and probably use some short adapted versions (2-3 seconds) in between. They can be played at intervals, separating the news.
