Great job guys. I think you both have potential for this. Best advice I can give, is learn the art of speaking articulately. Broadcast journalism, being an anchorperson, a radio talk show host, all require a skill with verbal articulation. The biggest flaw I have seen, and the difference between amateur and professional skill level is enunciation. If you listen to the pro's you'll notice they are practiced in enunciating every word spoken. When they speak, they speak very clearly. If you were to ask a professional, I would wager enunciation to be the number one difference with inflection (tonal and pitch modulation) and projection being tied for a close second.

Practice these skills, and listen to the pros and emulate them. Model your style loosely after some of the best in the field and practice reading news articles out loud, with proper enunciation, tonal and voice inflection. Doing so will develop the compelling delivery necessary to intrigue and captivate an audience.
