Production Roles

Creative Producer oversees the making of a radio show and creates sounds and audio. They also can be board operator/technical operator who may operate the controls for the person who is on the air. They are often in a separate control room which is separated by a window so they can see each other but the noises don't travel into the studio. Some examples of a creative producer's work is jingles or commercial-like audio clips.

Recording Engineer is concerned with the recording, manipulation, mixing and reproduction of sound. Many audio engineers creatively use technologies to produce sound for radio. The recording engineer need to make sure there is sound being broadcast. They must be qualified and understand how to mix music, edit tracks, fade in and fade out the DJ and the music. The recording engineer will have a lots of equipment such as a mixing console and microphones.

A Radio Copywriter writes scripts for radio and they need to know and understand about how people listen and respond to radio shows. They need to know what attracts the listeners. Good Radio Copywriters often have a background in radio production. Sometimes they are both copywriter and producer.

Voice-over Artists is a production technique where a voice that is not part of the narrative is used in a radio show. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere. In radio, voice-overs are an integral part of the creation of the radio programme. The voice-over artist might be used to remind listeners of the station name or as characters to enhance or develop show content.
