Our practical training can help you overcome any anxiety or nervousness you may have about presenting to a camera. Many people find presenting to camera a daunting task, but with the right training, you can develop the confidence and skills needed to deliver in an engaging and effective manner. Through practice and feedback, you can overcome any initial apprehension and become a polished and confident presenter.
With hundreds of hours of experience in pre-recorded and live TV presenting, Paul will give you expert one-on-one feedback on how to improve your presenting and grow your confidence in front of the camera. All whilst identifying your unique style, and bringing that to the forefront of your presenting.
We will work with you on preparation and rehearsal, to have a clear idea of what you want to say and how you want to say it.
A significant element of the masterclass is the improvement of interview skills. Through role play and group exercises, we will work on listening techniques, probing, and skillful questioning. We will work with you on preparation and identifying focus points before entering an interview.
The biggest worries for any interviewer such as evasive interviewees or awkward silences, we will give you the techniques to navigate these tricky situations in an apparently natural and effortless way.
We use state of the art, industry quality equipment throughout this masterclass. This includes training on how to read from a teleprompter, and techniques to master pacing and tone specific to teleprompters, to avoid a monotone delivery.
Talk-back is an in-ear system that allows the crew to communicate with you as you present. This can be a new experience for many people, and our training ensures you are familiar and comfortable with it before encountering it on a set.
When working with participants who want to improve their social media presence for their business, we aim to create scripts that are engaging, informative, and memorable. We will cover the fundamentals of how to use simple language and tell a story and conclude with a call to action that is natural, not pushy.
You’ll discover the importance of tailoring your writing to different audiences, the nuances of writing for different formats such as news, documentaries, talk shows, and social media, and the best practices for writing scripts that capture and retain your viewers’ attention.
You will leave the course not only with experience, tailored advice, new contacts, and an improved skill set, but also a fully edited HD showreel.
A showreel is the multimedia element of your C.V, and the key to getting a job in the media industry. A showreel gives employers a taste of your presenting skills, style, and personality, and will get you noticed by those hiring.
Our participants leave with a professional HD showreel that is ready to include in your applications.
