Aussie Radio Man looking for fulltime work in Singapore

[DJPhilK]

I am a radio announcer with 11 years experience in commercial radio in Australia. I am also a Spruker with 13 years experience. I want to move to Singapore but am finding it nearly impossible to make contact with Radio stations and Media companies. I am a hard worker, team player and have a happy bubbly personality. If anyone can help me out with a job, advice or some contact details I would be extremely greatful. My e-mail is Phil@radio4lg.com.au and have a air check mp3 demo avalible.

Thanks for your time

Your Sincerely

Phil Kennedy

the standard of Broadcasting here is very high...when I drive to work the dudes and class 95 have me in stitches...the flying dutchman is so funny !! be warned competition here is fierce

[maybe so]

Competition may be fierce....but oh soooo boring.

For boradcast work you only have 3 possible employers:

Mediacorp, by far the largest and almost a monopoly, employs several expats in the front line and beind the scenes.

Singapore Press Holdings has two radio stations, one in English and one in Chinese. SPH's focus is on newspapers and magazines so their broadcast units are small.

SAFRA Radio (Singapore Armed Forces RadiO) also has two stations in English and Chinese.

You will need to google them to get their websites 'cos if I post them here they'll get deleted. Your likelihood of getting a job in these stations is quite low to be frank. Part time work may be possible.

Another possible alternative is to explore opportunites at the larger audio production houses like Song Zu or Yellow Box. (Again, you'll need to google 'em to get the websites.) At the very least they are always on the look out for decent VO talent. But you won't make much of a living out of this at first. The freelance VO talents/presenters who are doing okay here all have flexible day jobs that allow them the flexibility to pursue this kind of work.

I'm curious - how easy or difficult is it to get VO work in Singapore?  Is there a preference for accent?

Thanks

I worked in Singapore radio for a while....

But when you say you're a 'radio announcer', what do you mean? You're a DJ? A talkshow host? Something else?

Thanks for the reply, I'm a radio announcer, I do a breakfast show on comercial station 5 days a week and I'm a production manager, producing commercials.  It would be great if you could help with some contacts and just some advice.  I have submitted my resume to Mediacorp but there is no way to submit a aircheck mp3.

[give them a cd]

send over a cd

[Flying crapman funny???]

Nuff said.
