Becoming a DJ these days is not as difficult as it used to be. If you want to become a wedding DJ there are some important tips you need to know.
A wedding DJ has a slightly different set of skills than any other DJ that you will find at a club. With a wedding DJ, you need to have the skill of bringing together very diverse people together so that they can all enjoy the event. This is often the case because at a wedding, you will find everyone from, young kids to old men and women and everyone in-between. As experience has shown us, there is very little in terms of music that can bring these people together. This does not mean that there is no music at all that can appeal to this diverse group. On the contrary, there is quite a lot of music to bring these people together to have some fun. What is important is that the DJ who presents this music needs to have a special ear for what appeals to the people at the wedding event. With a club DJ, you will usually find that the people at the club, by and large, have the same tastes and this problem therefore doesn’t present itself. Below are some of the other special skills that a wedding DJ should have in order to be good at their job.
Wedding DJs in Melbourne and everywhere else that you can think of will tell you that you need to have an eclectic collection of music that you can tap into for almost every crowd that you meet. This simply means that if you have an ear for music that is universally acceptable by a wide generation of people then you will be in a great position to become a great wedding DJ. In essence, you need to be very observant to the needs of all generations and you will therefore need to interact with all sorts of people in order to learn what appeals to them. One way to get your eclectic collection of music up to scratch is to learn what other wedding DJs have used over the years. This is because you will find that the type of music that will appeal to all these different people has been played before by other DJs. If you feel that the music that is being played by most DJs is already too old for the current generation, you can still learn from what has been played before so that you will have an ear for what to look for.
Any wedding DJ in Melbourne will also tell you that you need to have a strong command of any crowd if you want to be a good wedding DJ. This simply means that you should not be shy to direct the audience and encourage them to have a great time. If this comes in the form of having games that you can use to encourage everyone to have some fun or whether you need to talk and tell some good stories in-between different times in the wedding event, then you need to learn how to do this.
