In radio, strong speaking skills alone are not enough to become an effective DJ. One of the most important qualities is the ability to control emotions despite personal challenges.

In the second episode of Expert's Opinion with DJ Sam and DJ Rico Panyero, they emphasized the importance of a high emotional quotient (EQ) because personal problems outside work are unavoidable. However, programs must still be delivered properly, as listeners expect positive energy and entertainment from the station.

They also shared that even when feeling hurt or stressed, DJs must set aside their emotions once they are on air. Once the program begins, the principle of “the show must go on” applies, requiring DJs to remain professional and engaging.

In addition, the ability to recover from mistakes and lighten situations is important in the industry. Instead of being discouraged by errors, DJs use them as part of the entertainment to keep listeners connected.

Ultimately, the experience of DJs shows that true excellence is not only about voice or talent, but also self-discipline. Maintaining emotional control improves performance and ensures a continuous connection with the audience.
