On February 27th, our MSCM 2400 class had a class meeting in the NCCU tv studio. This visit to the TV studio was probably one of my favorite moments in the course. I remember specifically when I changed my major from business administration to mass communications how excited I was that I would get the chance to work in the tv studio. I didn’t expect to go to the studio my sophomore year, but I’m glad that I got the opportunity to see it. The staff that worked in the recording studio were very professional, yet passionate about their craft.
This visit to the studio inspired me, and I felt like I was where I was supposed to be. I actually got a chance to be an anchor when we visited the studio. I’ve always been more interested in the “talent” side of broadcasting, because I have a lot of experience with acting and that’s where I feel as though I have the most transferable skills. Getting to be an anchor for like 20 minutes was really cool and it was something that I could see myself doing in the future. Following our class visit to the production studio, I went again the next week. When we were there, we (the students) were told that we could come by the studio any day during the week if we were interested in learning more.
I didn’t know before that we were allowed to come by the studio whenever we wanted, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity. Once I got back to my dorm following the visit to the studio, I said that I would come by the studio every Friday, because that’s the day that I have no classes. Therefore, I actually went the next week and I got to work in the sound room. I planned on going back again, but the next week was the Friday before spring break so I had already left town. Following that, we were unable to come back to campus because of this COVID-19 situation. Therefore, I wasn’t able to visit the tv studio again, but I plan on going again when we move back on campus in the fall.
