I Don’t Know What to Say!
Don’t worry, Spot Shyness is treatable. We’ve found that a lot of people really want to record spots, and have a lot of knowledge about music, but don’t always know what to talk about.
Here are some suggestions for how to get started recording spots:
- What do you know about your favorite artists that most people don’t know? Turn that into a trivia question that other fans of the artist might find interesting.
- Heard any gossip about a musician? Share the dirt with other SpotDJ users!
- Listen to one of your favorite songs. What’s this song about? Is there a deeper meaning? What does it mean to you? What do you think the artist was talking about?
- Put yourself in the listeners’ shoes. What would somebody listening to this song want to know? Maybe they’d like to hear a few recommendations of similar songs, maybe they’re interested in when the artist is touring. Maybe they just want to hear why other people like the song.
- If you don’t know how to start, why not use the classic Spot intro: “That was XXXX by XXXX.” The rest will come naturally!
