Let Floyd Gibbons show you how to capitalize your hidden talents! Xo matter how much latent ability you possess — it is useless in Radio unless you know the technique of Broadcastins. Unless you know how to get a try-out. How to confront the microphone. How to lend color, personality, sincerity and clearness to your voice. Merely the ability to sing is not sufficient. It must be coupled with the art of knowing how to get the most out of your voice for broadcasting purposes. Merely the knack of knowing how to write will not bring success as a radio dramatist.
