So ... we continue to dig into old photos. I already shed a couple of friends here, showing them their own ten years ago ... :)

Somewhere between the institute and television, there were still years of work on the radio. It was fun.

Lemon hair color is all because of the same MUZ-TV, where I served as the Swedish hockey player Tumba Johansson as a talking head

Business Wave.

This radio was on a frequency of 105.2. It was there that I "took place" as a radio host (although it was fashionable to be called a DJ)

It's not me on the photo. In the photo - Ruben Hakobyan, also an employee of Delovaya Volna. Back then, radio stations played CDs on the air. You see four stacks of disks near Ruben - this is four hours of work. Before the broadcast, the host on the playlist typed music for the first couple of hours. And then I got it during the broadcast. Rubik worked at night, it was not easy for him. By the fifth hour of the night air, the tongue is tangled and you are talking all sorts of banalities ... It got to the point that the "night lights" recorded their broadcasts on a minidisk, and after a couple of days, at four or five in the morning, they put it just to relax. Violation, of course, but what can you do ... Anyway, none of the authorities at this time is listening. And if he listens, he hears ordinary music (it is unlikely that anyone will check the playlist in the middle of the night) and neutral eyeliners about nothing.
The only entertainment was the "Magic Phone". It is for him that Rubik says in the photo. All the behind-the-scenes personal life of DJs poured out of this phone. Oddly enough, many frivolous young ladies were so fascinated by the voice from the radio that when they phoned the studio, they fell on the hook (so something, but we knew how to SPEAK!) And in the morning, some of them were ready to meet their night companion at the door of the radio station and invite you to breakfast...
Did I say "frivolous"? Not everyone. There have been all sorts. For example, Rubik's wife, who gave him a wonderful daughter, was also once a "girl from a magic phone."
What to say about me? :)
Although, that's a completely different story.
But, before I move on to it, I want to tell you one incident that made me change my surname for several years.
When I came to Business Wave just to train, I was sent to sit on the night air (as they always do with beginners), to the then night host Oleg Abramov. He seemed to me some kind of incredible broadcast guru (he was one!), and when we met, I introduced myself as "Artyom Abramov". He looked somewhere deep into my brain and said, "Choose a pseudonym for yourself, dude. ABRAMOV I'M HERE!"
What can you do? I had to become Terekhov - after my grandmother.
And Oleg and I are still close friends.

For a long time, for a short time, but all the friendly brethren from Delova migrated to the newly born then "Police Wave". This radio promised musical freedom, work without playlists (is it a thing you heard!?) and the complete absence of any Ukupniks on the air. Later we learned that there would be no money either ...

But, it was a lot of fun. It was a real radio underground. We burned the air with rock and roll, brutal liners and hungry fun. And they came up with a great program "Friday Tea Party"

What is strictly forbidden on other radio stations - food and drink on the air - was our trick. A real tea party with cakes and chatter of three good friends. Kostya Novikov, Oleg Abramov and I were the regular and permanent hosts of the Tea Party. Of course, it could not do without charms from the phone. We made up all sorts of stupid contests, and the young cheerful girl who won them (sic!) Was invited to the air next week WITH HER BAKING! Yes! All sorts of cakes and pies were brought to us for tea by the radio listeners themselves! Oh what a blessed time it was!

I am grateful to the police wave for the valuable experience of carrying a radio blizzard live and for the "girl from the magic phone" who was not afraid to go at night (!) With two strangers from the receiver (!) To swim (!) In the pond near Moscow (!) Immediately after meeting on the phone!
Many years later this girl bore me a son. But this is also a completely different story.

But working without money was still not easy. So we got out of there. Who where. Here I am again on Autoradio.

There is also a lot of grub in the photo, but this is no accident. This is New Year's Eve. Holiday, tesket. Yes, I met a couple of new years in my life on the radio.

Ah, radio, radio. It's good that I won't go back to you. Just like on TV.

Among the richest showmen in Russia, many have a linguistic education or have been studying foreign languages. Radio hosts.ru It has long been said that philologists have firmly "occupied" the radio. The better you know how to play with words and meanings, the more likely you are to arouse the sincere interest of the audience. Today our guest is the host of the morning show on "Radio 7 on 7 Hills", a teacher of Russian language and literature Ruben Hakobyan by education.

A radio host is the sum of human and professional qualities that make listeners not turn off their favorite radio station. The list of terms is large. Which one would you put first and why?

Charisma. Sexuality. Charm. Call it what you want. Although these are all slightly different things, it is their combination that makes, in my opinion, a radio host indispensable.

There are dozens of radio stations in Moscow, which, in total, employ hundreds of presenters. From which, as a rule, they are required not to stand out. Whether you like it or not, it is. At some radio stations, even intentionally, the presenters are selected in such a way that they have similar ones.

To be honest, I don't really understand what the joke is. Perhaps this is done so that whenever you turn on the radio, you have the feeling that you have not missed anything. And, most likely, this approach justifies itself. From the point of view of the radio station. But it works against the leaders. They are like dolphins for the listener - they all look the same.

Therefore, no matter how it sounds now, only the one who "hit" on the most unprotected fibers of the soul of the audience, more than others, cuts into memory.

To put it very simply, you are in the right place if the male part of the audience would not mind having a mug or two of beer with you, and the female part would "stir up".

Once upon a time you started solo as a music broadcaster. How comfortable is it to work alone or in pairs?

Well, of course, one. Tell me, how is it more comfortable to run over rough terrain, alone or with a person handcuffed to you? (laughs) No matter how well he runs, one is simply more comfortable. You can suddenly change the trajectory of running, speed, and so on.

Of course, duet has its advantages, but from the point of view of convenience, it is easier to sing a solo part. If you can sing, of course.

The profession of a radio host allows you to constantly be on the move and learn something new. What have you mastered, what have you learned lately? What other skills would you like to develop?

- (laughs) That's not how it's done. A radio operator is not a sales manager. Forgive me this pathos, but still this is an exceptionally creative profession. Here pumping skills, as they say now, is of little use.

This profession requires what comes with experience. The ability to understand people, observe them, notice their strengths and weak sides, clearly imagine what they want, in what wrapper it is best for them to serve it, and so on and so forth.

You either have a job or you don't. There is no third. As in any other profession, over time you hone the skills you already have.

And yet, lately, I managed to pump the skill of teaching, for example. For several years I taught in one of Moscow, and most recently launched the author's Academy of Radio Hosts on the SmotriUchis.ru platform, where you can study online.

In my online academy, as far as possible, without seeing the reaction of the audience, in detail and intelligibly, on the fingers, so to speak, I told about all the nuances that simply need to be known to those who work or are just going to work on the radio.

In addition to video lessons, there are tasks for working out theory and practice, and at the end of the program a certificate is issued - everything is like in a radio school, only in a convenient online format.

You have been the host of the morning show for several years, which is extremely difficult physically. What motivates you every day?

Now is the right moment to speak loudly and distinctly, looking into the distance with a drag. I know that in the morning people will wake up, turn on the radio, and I have to help them start the day on a high note. Like Filatov: "In the morning I smear a sandwich - immediately the thought is: how are the people?" (laughs).

But I'll tell the truth. This is my job. And I'm ashamed to do it badly. Although, of course, anything can happen. After the broadcast, there is a feeling that he cheated. What could have done much better. But I'm trying. I know that in the morning people will wake up, turn on the radio, and I have to help them start the day on a high note. (laughs).

Preparing the air for a good presenter is a way of life. How does this process affect you? How much time does each day take?

The question, apparently, concerns the professional, right? Considering that it takes even more time than the ether itself, naturally, all this leaves its mark.

Whatever happens around, whatever I do, I watch it a little from the side. It’s as if it doesn’t happen to me, but to the character, and in the meantime I’m trying to understand whether it will be interesting to hear it on the air tomorrow. And how to tell it so that the story "hooked" the audience.

This is quite a common split personality. Who needs a mentally healthy storyteller? So yes, it's a lifestyle. Ward number 6. In my case, number 7 (laughs).

What determines the quality of preparation and live broadcast?

What determines the quality of patient preparation for surgery and the operation itself? Or the quality of the bread dough preparation and the baking result? I repeat. Everything always depends on the level of proficiency in the profession of all those involved in the process. One cheats or messes up - everyone messes up at the exit. Radio, especially radio shows, is a team game. There is safety in numbers.

Well, you have to have a conscience. In the sense that it is a shame to hack when hundreds of thousands of people listen to you at the same time.

Whose criticism or praise can seriously affect your work on the air? Who does the morning show remarks and how often?

Well, remarks do everything (laughs). We all know how to launch rockets, treat the sick, run a country. And how to make a radio, the stump is clear. But only the boss can really influence, of course.

Radio 7 was a cult expat pop-rock radio station in the mid-90s, staffed by flamboyant radio hosts. The morning show Morning Zoo, for example, led on English language. What has remained unchanged on Radio 7 since then?

I did not catch that era of the Seven. So it's hard for me to judge. I think the only thing that hasn't changed is the name. And this is rather good.

Now I will say a banality, but it is important for understanding my point of view. Every second the human body is renewed, old cells die, new ones are activated, the skin sheds the epidermis, and so on.

As a result, our body is periodically completely renewed. And in an adequate, not inert person, as a result of new experience, consciousness also changes, ideas about what is good and what is bad change. As a result, from the person you were a few years ago, today only passport data remains.

So with the Seven, I think the same thing happened. Although many believe that everything was better before: the girls are more beautiful, and the grass is greener, and the Seven is seven (laughs).

There are no radio stations with foreign capital left on the Russian radio. Once they were the most interesting and fashionable (M-Radio, Nostalgie, Maximum, Europa Plus, etc.). How has this affected our profession?

An unexpected question. No way, probably. For a profession, no way. On the content - yes, probably influenced. Do you remember the word was: firma? Here it is, perhaps, was not enough. With rare exceptions. Take at least the same Europe Plus. In my opinion, there is still everything in order with this.

But here it's more about the audience - in our country, propaganda is so actively brainwashing that the more firm, the more suspicious. Type, mishandled Cossacks (laughs).

Seriously, I don't know. Not ready to talk about it. In any case, one thing is for sure, the audience always has what they want. If the demand for a firm increases massively, it will reappear.

Once upon a time you were fond of newfangled audio and video equipment. How cool is your home theater now, what are you watching?

You can get involved in philosophy and women (laughs), and I was looking for "my" sound. For years I changed equipment, selected components, tried different combinations, until I found something on which, as they say, my heart calmed down. In this sense, I have the coolest cinema

I just don't understand people who watch movies in fits and starts on their phones. In the subway there, or in parts in between some cases. For me, this is almost a sacred ritual. I spent several years of my life on a worthy shipment and it’s scary to remember how much money until I heard what I wanted to hear.

And I watch different things: from summer blockbusters to arthouse dramas. This is the rare area in which I am omnivorous. After all, in essence, cinema is the ability to tell stories. If the story is told with talent, then I don't care what it is about, and in what manner it is presented to me. The main thing is to pin.

It's no secret that the musical tastes of the presenter do not always coincide with the format of the radio station. How much does your playlist consist of Radio 7 tunes?

I can't answer this question (laughs). Well, it's not possible at all.

In fact, it is very secondary. You don't come to work to listen to music. Here it is important for those few hours that you are on the air, to catch the mood.

I just thought, maybe it's even better that at work you are not dealing with the music that is packed into your personal playlist. In this case, there is a higher chance that you will swim in the same emotional flow that the audience is currently in. So, you can more accurately select the intonation of your communication.

Many of today's leading commercial radio stations have been on the air for a quarter of a century or more. Why is radio so contagious?

It is a thankless task to speak for others. Everyone has their own motivation. Someone just loves their job, someone like me, for example, simply no longer imagines himself in a different capacity. When you have been doing something for so many years, it is already difficult to shed this skin from yourself.

For many, this is a showcase where you can offer yourself as a host at weddings, christenings and funerals. I rarely do this. Although the money there, as a rule, is offered quite well.

But my professional pride turns on. Well, you know, like a musician who graduated from the conservatory and worked for many years, say, at the Mariinsky or the Bolshoi, and he was offered an easy way to cut some money at a party of chanson lovers (laughs).

I know it's childish, but I can't help myself. That's how we live.

Reference. Ruben Akopyan is a Russian radio host, showman, author and host of the morning show on Radio 7 on Seven Hills, author and teacher at the Academy of Radio Hosts on the Look. Learn." Born in Yerevan. Graduated from the Faculty of Philology of Yerevan State University with a diploma of a teacher of Russian language and literature. On the radio since 1994. He worked at radio stations Radio Rocks, Open Radio, Autoradio.

Every morning, Ruben Hakobyan and Eva Korsakova, hosts of the Morning on Seven Hills morning show, wake up the city, talking about plans and relationships. They told the portal about the relationship between Ruben and Eve, dominance and submission, a miniature marriage and how to say “good afternoon” so that they listen to you to the end.

It's always interesting to learn about the origins. How did you come to Radio 7 on Seven Hills?


Ruben: Eve has a connection on the radio (laughs)


Eve: This is true. I met the program director of Radio 7 on Seven Hills, Yura Fedorov, when he worked at Radio Chocolate. But we didn’t manage to work together, because our acquaintance happened about a week before my birth. And when I gave birth, he invited me to Radio 7 in the morning show.


Being a mom was a conscious decision. And I was not very eager to work, but, having googled who hosts the morning show - and there are legends about Ruben - I realized that I want to get to know “the same Hakobyan” ...


So you were just invited as a co-host to Ruben, or was there some kind of casting?

Ruben: Casting is not the right word. We advertised that we are looking for a host for the show. Naturally fell down great amount summary from the radio workers. Out of a million applicants, 35-40 people were invited to audition. They were evaluated according to different parameters: how we sound together, how we feel and understand each other. We chose for a long time.

And everything was, as they say, not that. I did not immediately understand what the problem was. In fact, everything turned out to be simple: all the applicants were exactly the leading ones. They, as a rule, feel great in a monologue. What was needed was a person who could organically exist in a dialogue. And then Yura (program director of Radio 7 on Seven Hills) suggested that I try "one of my old acquaintances." She turned out to be Eva. She came and stayed.


Eve: I did not have the experience of a "lineman" - a presenter who exists in a monologue all the time. I am a dialogue host, I like it when someone dominates the air. I'm really very good at "second part". When Ruben lost his voice, I was alone. And to be honest, everyone laughed at me, because I will ask myself a question, answer it myself, joke myself, laugh myself and announce what I will tell later. From the category of "quietly I am talking to myself."

It's understandable why Reuben liked Eva. And how convenient was it for you to adjust to the dialogue with Ruben?


Eve: if a person is a person, then it is easy for me to work with him. If the whole image is just a planned PR, it will be hard for me ... About Ruben, I immediately realized that he is smart, well-read, with interesting baggage, that it would be interesting for me with him. This is very important, especially for the morning broadcast. Because we are together at the most stressful time. In the morning, even the closest are annoying. And here is a colleague. And I must admit that Ruben does not infuriate.

And now, of course, we are completely used to it. We learned to understand without words, to read facial expressions, moments when you should not touch each other. We know when to ask and when not to.


Ruben: In general, we have something like an on-air marriage (laughs)

Did the show about plans and relationships affect your plans and relationships?

Eve: On the second higher education I am a psychologist. Sometimes they turn to me for advice. If this is not a psychological consultation, I give life hacks from those that we gave on the air - it helps.


Ruben: I can't say that there were any revelations for me. But much of what I knew and understood before was systematized. So yes, rather, they did.

What do you and your characters on the morning show have in common?

Eve: First of all, life position. I don't like being a steam locomotive, I feel comfortable paired with someone. As for the differences, I will never say what kind of music I have on my iPad. Because our listener will be very surprised.

Ruben, what about you?

Ruben: Well, in some fundamental things, we are unanimous with him. The difference is in the details. For example, my character is less conscientious than me. I mean, he's smarter. And more active in general. If for me the ideal vacation is by the sea with a book, then it is not like that. Therefore, when traveling, I will definitely take photos upside down at some extreme height. After all, the character needs to be worked out (laughs) And then back to the book.

Eva, you said that most of your listeners would be surprised by what you listen to. So what?


Eve: Well, let's say, from foreign countries - Stromae, from ours - Birtman ... However, I did not really like his last album, which I was looking forward to. I love Ukrainian bands very much - their sound is much cooler. Let's be honest, ours don't "pump" like that. Now I am watching a girl like Nastya Kamanina. I love Olga Arefieva, Casta, Brainstorm, Igor Grigoriev

Reuben?

Ruben: Of ours - Kashin and BG. That is, I listen to a lot of things in order to be aware of what is happening in the world of music. But for the soul, for yourself, that's a different story. I only listen to those who are close to me in spirit. From not ours - a lot of everything: from Michael Jackson, Garou, Fiona Apple and Celine Dion to Stereophonics, Rag'n'Bone Man, Lenny Kravitz and Ozzy. There are so many, you can't list them all.

What are your strongest memories of the radio interview?


Ruben: I have the coolest memory associated with the owner of one of the strongest voices in the history of pop music, Michael Bolton. At one time he started in a very "heavy" rock band. Not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter. True, few people remember this now. And so, I remember, I decided that it would be cool if he sang in that “heavy” manner one of his most famous songs from a much more pop period - “When a men loves a women”. Here we are with him then annealed!


Eve: And my memory is connected with Roman Grigorievich Viktyuk. I got to rehearsals for him in the theater. I felt like a gnome: I sat in the back rows and it seemed that no one noticed me. And then, unexpectedly, Viktyuk himself sits down to me and asks: “What is superfluous on the stage?” Crossing myself internally, I say: “I think it’s a vase, I have to look at it all the time.” Roman Grigorievich turns to the stage and says loudly: “Even a girl sees that the vase is superfluous!” And what do you think, everyone came running and began to rearrange this vase. And Viktyuk continues: “I don’t know why you are here, but I see a great future awaits you.” And this phrase still warms me in any difficult situation.

I know that you are connected with the theater not only by rehearsals at Viktyuk's. Your grandmother sang in the Bolshoi.


Eve: Yes, my great-grandmother Natalya Khristoforovna Korsakova, nee Zimson, really performed at the Bolshoi Theater. She was not a prima, but she sang there. My great-grandfather was also an unusual person. Being a simple accountant, he starred in our first films. Cinematographers saw him on Mayakovsky Square and said - you have an expressive face, will you act in films? And he really starred in the film "The Nightingale Nightingale, or Dunya Kurnakova" and "Treasure Island" - bald, with a big nose - a real pirate.
My grandfather, their son, studied with Vasily Stalin in the same class, Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya (Lenin's wife) drove him to school by car and treated him with sweets. And my mother grew up with Denis Dragunsky, the one about whom Viktor Dragunsky wrote "Denis' stories". Judging by family stories, my mother was the prototype of the red-haired girl Alenka, with whom Deniska was friends.

Ruben, and your parents, as I understand it, were not connected with either the theater or the radio?


Ruben: Yes, God forbid! My parents were absolutely normal people. As far as I know, I am the first in our family to have a split personality, megalomania and total speech incontinence (laughs). An ordinary family of Soviet intellectuals. Until I showed up and ruined a decent pedigree.

As a lecturer in radio hosting and public speaking courses, what are the most important things you need to know if you want to pursue a public profession?


Ruben: I repeat: the main thing you need to know is what the audience expects. And it doesn't matter if you're standing in front of people or they hear you in receivers. In public speaking, whether it's speaking into a radio microphone or speaking at an event, it's like producing crowd scenes in a blockbuster movie where special effects specialists take a small group of extras and turn them into a huge crowd. So it is here: if you know how to make contact with one person, you can do it with the whole audience. This requires, of course, charisma, a sense of humor and emotionality. It turned out immodestly, but now what? True - it is true in Africa.
Eve A: First of all, you need to make friends with yourself. Any person has a litmus test that clearly shows whether the stage needs him or not. If he experiences some trepidation or, on the contrary, courage before going on stage - he needs it, he needs it, this is his place! if he is not nervous, but simply works out the number, he does not need a scene. If you have a physical ailment due to nerves, you need to understand what kind and “make friends” with your “physics”. There is professional incompetence - this is when a person's voice disappears due to nervousness. Everything else is fixable. Every time before the stage, I myself have the feeling of “what the hell! I’ll leave the stage, I’m without a diaper!” You should not be overwhelmed by questions: how do I put my feet, do I hold my hands correctly. When a person begins to think about it, it is noticeable. At this moment, all charm and energy disappear. It is immediately clear that a person is building something out of himself, trying to please.

What advice would you give to those who go to the radio?


Ruben: First of all, you need to clearly understand why you are going there. I always ask about this at castings, where people who want to become radio hosts come. The most common answers are “since childhood I dreamed of working on the radio” and “I have a loose tongue, everyone tells me that I need to work on the radio.” That is, from the outside it seems that being a radio host is just being able to carry nonsense 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By the way, that is why the majority of listeners, when asked what annoys them the most on the radio, name advertising in second place, and radio hosts in first place. FIRST, you know? People are already "bombed" from verbal diarrhea. I'm here today, while riding in a taxi to work, I heard another "pearl": prepare your ears, he said, presenter, now I'll put on a super hit for you. "Prepare your ears, Carl!" A radio operator is not one who speaks a lot and well, a good radio operator is like a good wife, she knows how to please. He knows when and what to say, when to remain silent so as not to irritate and not run into a conflict, etc. You need to understand what attracts people, what they want and, more importantly, what they DON'T want. And it is also important to understand how to convey it to them. By the way, a radio host, as an actor, is not a very masculine profession (smiles). From a technical point of view, a person can be taught everything - to formulate thoughts concisely and concisely, to do it beautifully, and so on and so forth. But understanding people is much more difficult. This is much more difficult to teach.


Eve: you need to prepare for the broadcast, improvisation splashes out only when there are all theses in the head or on the sheet.

And of course, you need to train your voice. So that you just say “good afternoon” and people immediately want to listen to you.
