Tips for Radio Broadcasters
It's hard to maintain composure when you are unexpectedly struck by a fit of the giggles.
Jeremy Jacobs proposes these four ideas that will help muffle inappropriate laughter as well as potentially save your job!
How to Stop Laughing
1. Focus on the task in hand.
2. Bite your lip or the inside of your mouth. The minor pain takes your mind off other matters.
3. If you’re able to, think of something else. Pink elephants are my favourite.
4. Take deep breaths.
