Creating Powerful Radio
Media Trainer John Beaupre' author of The Broadcast Voice
says,"Valerie Geller has trained and inspired a generation of broadcasters. It
may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she invented talk radio, but
clearly, there are few people in the world who can make as strong a claim to
shaping, forming, and producing what has come to be known as personality talk radio programming."
Geller consults and trains talent for news, talk and personality and works with radio and production at stations throughout the world. She's worked with the BBC stations (2005, 2006, 2007) the RCS in Singapore, presented "Creating Powerful Radio" seminars for the KBP in The Philippines, and for the ABC Australia, (1999–present) as well as across the U.S., Canada and Europe. The book "Creating Powerful Radio has been translated to and is available in Bulgarian and Albanian language editions.
Media Trainer John Beaupre' continues: "What Valerie brings to any
discussion of radio is not only her encyclopedic knowledge of the medium and her
sound, practical advice, but also her inspirational and motivational approach for creative people to learn new skills and move to the next level as broadcasters."
