PETRONIO Featured
ROMO radio announcer, began in 1939 in Concepción. Later it moved to Santiago, working at various stations, including Radio cite "Cooperative Lifetime," "New World", "National Mining Company", "O'Higgins", "Magallanes", "Bio Bio."

Moreover its special style, pleasantly convincing, led him to be the commercial broadcaster par excellence, requested by advertising agencies to record radio ads and TV spots.

PETRONIO TO THE MICROPHONE
With the recent departure of Petronio Romo, it seems appropriate to reproduce an article in the magazine "Antenna", number 3, the month of June 1949, written by Manolo del Castillo, then sound engineer for Radio National Society Mining.
transcribe verbatim:
"Petronio is without doubt one of the greatest entertainers of national radiotelephony. But he seems to ignore it when it comes striding to the Board of Broadcasters, giving a sidelong look good days to the microphone, waiting for the sounds that drive it and give it life. Because we can say the microphone has its own life and rejoices when playing witty jokes, nice voices, beautiful songs. And instead suffers and rebels against unpleasant noises, the discordant cries of the bold and outrageous actions of those who believe artists. In these cases the microphone roar, tearing sounds and sometimes dictatorial transmission.
But the microphone loves Petronio, who always treat him well known despite his personal way of acting against him. Because it's interesting to see how Romo passes and works, gestures, takes a few steps, approaches, moves away. Forget that the microphone is an accessory and personalized the talks to him, smiles, greets him and to him presents his arguments seriously, looking in interrogative or injunction. By saying the ads, tries to convince with exaggerated gestures, approaches him with all kindness and, bowing his head slightly, he shows his famous "bare."
This is, without doubt, one of the secrets of success of Petronius: the human constant communication with the listener, pictured in his imagination into the microphone, which in turn flattered, threatened, discusses convinces. Petronio "gives the whole body, can not sit still and the same agility of thought that has to tell a joke, has it in their movements within the reduced extension of the Board of Broadcasters.
For this reason, Petronio is the desperation of the audio controls. As you know, the driver must be constantly connected to the speaker. There is a special window for it - acoustically isolated - and also an intercom and a reciprocal system of rings to take the necessary signals. But this Petronius seems to ignore these systems, and uses only ... telepathy.
Control is vain to meet the eyes of Petronius, who walks fast and dreamily as the Board could do in a park without worrying about the outside world. And yet, his experience, his calm presence of mind do emerge unscathed from the worst problems radio, where many stumble, stutter, and detract from the transmission.
Petronio and microphone are great friends, "trusted friends." Interpenetrate, understand, not fear and live a life both special camaraderie, good humor and insouciance that is the charm of all auditors.
