On-air

First day of a six day week. Reporting. I am still a little shakey over the 15 seconds I was on air, and yet I can't wait to do it again. There is something about the rush of it all. It's exciting and new and...easy. At least here it is. When I remember back to the 12 hour days I was pulling at the last station this is a piece of cake. Back in Iowa, not only was it in the middle of nowhere...but I was doing 3 VOSOT's and a package. Plus I was writing and editing and shooting all of it. Now I know today was an unusual day, but everything was already done. The story was pre-shot and all I need to do is write and voice the package. I'm already done. I know that I should look back on my time in Iowa and be thankful that I was taught to work under pressure...but no one in this business should be under pressure like that.
That's why I'm thankful that this part of my life is going so smoothly right now. And as I say that, I hold my breath a little. I know that things could get rough. But I'm learning and I'm loving what I'm learning, and the people that are teaching me are probably some of the best I've seen in quite sometime.
Being on air isn't easy after being kicked off...but I got right back in there and I must say...I kicked some ass! haha
Now...I just have to figure out how to train my voice to be a little lower, I kinda sound like a little girl.
Better get back to the ten pm show!
