3. Presenting - The Basics

We cut to the chase with coaching in some of the solid basics of presenting. Not a mere list of “do’s and don’ts”, but some of the core beliefs and attitudes entirely applicable to every type and style of presenting. So valuable is this information, that many have remarked that this alone was “worth the price of admission”. Things you’ll learn include:

  • Why you sometimes feel so nervous in front of a television camera - and the answer may surprise you...
  • The little known reason why someone who may be the “life and soul” - or considers themselves to be extremely confident - goes to pieces on-camera. Once you know and understand this secret, your on-screen confidence and persona will soar.
  • Why, contrary to popular belief, if you’re an obsessive “gesticulator” or hand-mover, you mustn’t try and stifle this on-screen - as long as you stick to one simple rule...
  • Why those with acting experience are surprised to find that being a TV presenter is often much more difficult than they thought - and why radio presenters find it even harder. If it affects you, we’ll show you how to overcome it.
  • The three psychological elements that top presenters - often unknowingly - incorporate into their presentational style allowing them to appeal to more members of the viewing audience. And how you can take advantage of this information for yourself.
  • Why it’s a common myth that to be a successful presenter you must be “naturally gifted”. Yes, it’s true that many presenters - for whatever reason - take to it “like a duck to water”. But you’ll find out that in our experience, many more developed these skills by adopting one simple but specific attitude... and you’ll be surprised to discover that it’s possible to adopt this attitude within hours rather than years... as a large number of past course participants - who, after just one day with us, got their first job by leap-frogging established presenters at the audition - have demonstrated.
  • How understanding the conclusions of a little known study by Professor Albert Mehrabian can dramatically impact your on-screen persona and power.
