” But there was this advertisement in the newspaper. It read “pilot of the radios,” Lance said, adding that a companion at the time, an earlier generation of Mediacorp, at Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, urged him to try it.
Lance described the Great 10 interview approach, where he was in an workplace packed with plenty of candidates. They give you a number, and you enter a room and read a text. They ca n’t see you, but someone knocks on your door and says,” OK, we’d like to get more details from you” if they like your voice.

Lance’s lifestyle may have taken a completely different path. He was offered a second career with the National Productivity Board around the same period. He also had the potential to completely withdraw from broadcasting at various points in his profession, but somehow he always managed to do so.
After his 18- month tenure at Perfect 10, he moved to television, primarily to be an entertainment producer for AM Singapore, Singapore’s second always English- language morning show on Channel 5 that launched in 1994. However, when one of the presenters was n’t remain, he was asked to co- buoy the present rather – without any Television experience.
” You’re frightened, but you were given an opportunity, and you take it. And that’s what I did”, Lance said.
He continued to work on Great 10 for three years as an alternative music producer even though he had already given up on tv.
