You will be given unedited files of your work.
What will we cover?
- Recording equipment for vlogging/Youtube - Overcoming nerves - Presenting to camera - Iinterviewing.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
• Present confidently to camera. • Conduct an interview/be interviewed. • Record yourself presenting to camera at home or on location.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This is a fast-paced course beginners/general standard. Some experience or knowledge of presenting/performance//TV Production would be helpful but is not essential.
In order to get the most from the course you will be able to: • Speak English fluently and clearly • Understand instructions and be able to work to a brief • Take direction, be adaptive, take notes • Receive constructive feedback.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Your tutor will teach though a variety of techniques during this online course. Practical exercises will be recorded on camera and played back with individual feedback. There may be some weekly prep such as viewing and preparing scripts. 'So You Want to be a TV Presenter' published by Nick Hern Books, and 'The TV Presenter’s Career Handbook' published by Focal Press will be very useful, both written by the tutor.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
None. Bring notepad and pen.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Consider TV presenting to develop your on camera experience. A course in improvisation to develop 'thinking on your feet' skills and a voice course would be useful.
