So you think you can present, joke, interview and entertain at the same time as reading your lines, avoiding distractions and looking cool under pressure? This course will introduce you to vital skills in TV presenting. There will be workshops on building your confidence, training your voice and understanding performance through movement, and how all these appear to the viewer at home on the small screen. You will investigate how contemporary presenters have created their own style, and what makes someone unique so that they appeal to their audience. The course will be fun and supportive and a great introduction to the TV industry; and by the end you will have investigated your own approach to presenting with a clear goal in mind - whether news, sport, interviews or entertainment. If you have the energy, confidence, quick wit and enthusiasm, then this course will be your first step on the ladder to the fame you deserve.
