Getting closer to FAME

So it has been nearly six months since I last posted on this blog. But I have swept away the digital dust and posted something new before the end of an eventful 2011.

One of the main reasons I haven't been on here is because I have focused a lot more on FAME Magazine (see http://fameonline.co.uk/author/calum/ ) - for which I am still the Editor.

Now for those committed blog followers you may remember a long list of responsibilities that I used to have (see http://calumdilieto.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-post.html ), but since FAME has become more successful and my workload for the talent and lifestyle magazine has increased, I have dropped some of the previous responsibilities - plus the fact that most of them were linked to the university, and I am now a graduate (cue round of applause).



Sadly one of the things I miss most from university is being on Crush Radio. I managed to attend my first and last SRA award ceremony before leaving the station and even entered 'Best Male Presenter'.

Now I am going to be completely transparent I didn't get nominated due to a problem I already foresaw: a lack of good producing skills (since creating my demo these have been developed).

#HalfFullThinking though...

Firstly I was given some positive feedback from one of the anonymous judges, which read: (sic)"A solid, well-rounded presenter - Has an easy, convsersational style that draws listners in, but it would have been good to hear how listeners' comments feed into the show. - Vibrant voice, with clear delivery and good variety of tone - Good story-telling skills with an ability to build suspense - Original talking points"

Secondly I have since been on BBC Radio Three Counties representing FAME, with Black Biscuit, check it out: http://audioboo.fm/boos/584553-black-biscuit-09-12-11#t=3m0s (3mins onwards)
