I have always wanted to be a disc jockey. I think it would be cool to play music for people.
Yes! It would be awesome to play music to a live audience in a nightclub or dance club.
I wonder how hard it is to learn to use the equipment. I think some use turntables for special effects.
Definitely a lot of skill needed. I think it's pretty cool how they do the scratching, or scrubbing, on the turntable.
So that is what it is called. The sounds they make are really interesting. It seems like they are doing a lot of things at once.
Yes, they're pretty versatile. They even have scratching competitions at the DMC World DJ Championship and other places. Have you done any DJing yourself?
That sounds like a fun competition. I haven't done any DJing. The closest thing I did is make some mix tapes that I played for my friend.
Oh cool, can you tell me more about the tapes you made?
Sure, I used to record music when it was played on the radio since I didn't have money to buy it. I remember I recorded a lot of Michael Jackson and Rolling Stones.
That's fun, I used to do that too. It was annoying when the host talked over the start of the music :) I like the Rolling Stones, I quite like British rock.
