ON THE AIR: TURN ON THE MICROPHONES, IT'S TIME TO MAKE RADIO

Being the director of CinemArtes Al Aire, one of the most listened to programs on the university station, has been one of my great joys. Thanks to the whole team and of course the radio itself for so much power.

Throughout my school life I listened to the radio at five in the morning, because while my mother made breakfast, she put on the community station or the National Radio of Colombia. I liked some songs or just helped him pick up the signal on certain occasions (we have a Panasonic recorder from 95 and you have to be patient with it).

"I started in LIVE programs (in fact my 'pilot' was Live) and I soaked up the film world, the friendships, the sections, the voices, the music, the microphone."

In addition, in the 'upa' years, my mother used to do the parish radio program on the community radio station with her co-workers; until recently he told me that they locked themselves in a room to record the voices as clean as possible and that they lasted until eleven at night: repeat a section, balance this song, 'edit' the program. In another of our talks, he told me that he had recorded my voice 'reading' the Little Red Hood story on a cassette. From there I was curious to listen to the radio; Fortunately, my parents have cassettes of all kinds: children's rounds, poems by Pablo Neruda and, of course, my voice as a child that invented the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

For a while, I ignored the radio. It had become part of my routine and I didn't dare record my voice or even think about it. I entered the university and was given the opportunity.

-Ana, do you want to be part of CinemArtes Al Aire?

CinemArtes appeared in my life at a time when, first of all, I didn't think much about the movies (I had seen several movies and again, at home, we bought 3x5 thousand), much less thought about the radio. However, I took a chance. I started in LIVE programs (in fact my 'pilot' was Live) and I soaked up the world of cinema, friendships, sections, voices, music, the microphone.

Today, I have been the director of the CinemArtes Al Aire team for two years and I have been fortunate to have wonderful people; delighted with communication, doing radio, watching movies, creating bumpers, covering festivals.
