Wednesday June 3

Banana Time

Introduction:  Good, you have a good rapport and are well organised.

Back announce by Naomi is excellent but try not to ‘put on’ the voice, talk naturally.

So far I  like the choice of music – it is contemporary but accessible. Arrested Development was a good choice.

Back announce. Jacob, the term ‘faggoty pop’ might be offensive. Why ask people to ‘come down’ – do you really want them to come to the studio?

This link between songs is a little long, should be abbreviated. Naomi’s intro to Hilltop Hoods is good and relevant.

Back announce: Naomi’s back announcement is very good, confident. Jeremy’s level is too low at first.

Back announcement and intro to Jacob was good. Naomi, you try to put some character into your voice. Jacob speaks fluently and voice is good.

Good choice of ‘heavy metal’ music – still accessible.

Back announce: Naomi don’t whoop! Good brief discussion before next track by Nightwish.

Back announce: this is a bit messy until Jacob takes over. Naomi, don’t ‘Whooo!’

Song: Avenge – a little too heavy. Four heavy songs in a row is too much!

Back announce: What’s with the reference to ‘gay’ – you have to be careful here. Enthusiastic presentation which is good.

Back announce: Lively discussion which is good but the level needs to be up for the song. Note: level of songs played on computer is often low! Turn up gain. Jeremy, your voice is good (you sound a little like Hamish or Andy).

Jeremy’s song choice is good – quite catchy and accessible. Actually, the music programming has been very good.

Jeremy’s story – re. Celine Dion – is okay but not compelling. This bit rambles on too much. You need to be focussed at all times and this is not.

Overall, an excellent, upbeat, music program. You all relate well together and sound as though you have planned the program. Plus you must enjoy it because you have gone 10 minutes over-time!

Nathan, Mitchell, Sarah

Back announce: Nathan, you um and hesiitate a little, Mitch sounds confidemt. This segment was short and to the point.

Song ‘How Far We’ve Come”:  Back announce. Mitch’s ‘Lights, Camera, Action’ is good, well-delivered, confident. You say, ‘Gordon Ramsey is coming home to Melbourne? However, overall, an excellent segment.

Song: Pink/303

Back announce: Mitchell – good. Introduces discussion. Mitch – you repeat yourself. Then dead air before Bon Jovi!

Sarah does not get much of a chance to say anything. Did you discuss the roles before the show? You got to intro Beyonce and do well.
