Answers:
Well, I hope you are completely familiar with the station!. Sit down today and tonight and write down everything they do - and when!. That's called clocking the station!. Write down what happens and when, each hour, to get the station's "format clock!." If you keep good notes you will discover at what time in the hour they play music and when they stop the music to play commercials, traffic, contests etc!. (a "break")!. From there, know the music and artists they play!.

When you record your audition, just try to speak naturally!. Don't try for a "DJ" voice - there's really no such thing!. Just be you!. But have some good stuff to say!. If they ask you to intro a song, you'll be able to impress them with a quick bit about the artists!. They'll also be impressed that you've taken the time to get to know the station!.

If they ask you to read a news story or commercial, look over the copy first!. Don't try to do a "cold" read!. They'll expect you to want to study the copy (not for a long time, but long enough to familiarize yourself with it)!.

Dress to the expected look for someone in that position, but not sloppy!. I wouldn't wear a suit (because of the station's format), but I would be neat, clean and respectful!. You're on a job interview after all!. Perhaps after you get the job, you'll be able to loosen up a bit (look around at what the other jocks are wearing)!.

Good luck!
