Video Jockey Overview

Have you been called a chatter box by people? Are you good looking? Do you have a wacky sense of humour? Then get ready for a life laced with loads of money, fame and glamour. All this when you are barely 25.

 

A VJ is a Video Jockey. One who hosts music shows on a television channel. In this age of competition and remote controls it is very difficult to retain loyal viewers. Your main responsibility will be to keep millions of viewers glued to the channel. You have to generate a group of loyal viewers who will not move from the channel during the programme. How do you do this?

 

The success of a music show depends on how interactive it is. So it is your responsibility as a video jockey to interact with the viewers through telephone, email and fax. The more the people want to interact with you, the more successful is your programme. In short you will carry the show on your shoulders. 

 

In fact a few channels are known purely by its VJs.  Take Cyrus 'bakra' Broacha or VJ Anusha for instance. They have an amazing fan following and all their shows have high ratings. In fact, no music show can now be stand-alone. The songs have to be peppered with perky conversation, jokes and celebrity appearances among other things, to sustain viewer interest. 

 

Your job as a video jockey is certainly very glamourous. Be prepared to be recognised on the streets! A certain celebrity status goes with the job, once the viewership ratings jump. The flip side, however, throws up long and erratic hours of work and frequent travelling.

 

As a video jockey  you will not just play music but also take part in programme planning, research, script writing, selection of songs to be played according to the theme of programme, promotion of the programme or the channel (they work for) in general, attending road shows, and so on. If you need more information on this profile please feel free to contact us Now.
