At the end of r-:'training, she had to pertorm and compete againstthree professic-eDJs. She had to convince the judges that she wasn't a fake.

For a month, Sian stayed with top DJ, Anne. When Sian first m:.her, she felttotally out of place. She said,'She is so glamorous.lwas really quite scared atfirst.'Almost as soon as she arrived,however, Sian starled her training. She had lessons in 'mixing'th=music on Anne's record decks.

To make -=-look right, she had new clothes, a new haircut and even dancinglessons. lt wasn't only lessons, however. She also practised. Shepractised ever6hing, but mostly the 'mixing'. She was on the dec, .for at least five hours a day.

At the end of the month, Sian and three other professional DJsperformed in front of the judges. Their job was to pick the 'fake'.None of them picked Sian. ln fact, they couldn't believe it when tt-=,were told. She was professional and confident, due mostly toenormous amounts of dedicated practice. lmmediately after theprogramme, she was offered a job as a professional DJ in a topnightclub. So, perhaps it's true that 'practice makes perfect'!
