I deejayed informally at family parties, and then got myself hired by a party deejay company that trained you to use the equipment and to emcee at weddings ( introduce bridal parties, first dances, boquet tosses, cake cuttings,all of that stuff).

Did that for 10 years before I volunteered to produce a radio show for a little public access station. I miss the audience, and packing the dance floor when Im in the studio-though i like doing that too.

I did get some training for party deejaying, and did get to watch some veterans deejays do their thing before trying it myself. But I had to emcee four hour weddings (introduce the bridal party etc). And did practice using the equipment at home. But I was an oldies person, and had to learn the younger generations music as well. Alot of work, but somehow I did it and survived.

For just one hour you can do it. Just relax and have fun with it.


Thanks NaturalPlastic.
