Television is one of the world’s most popular forms of entertainment and sources of information and caters to a wide range of interests by offering content that ranges from daily news and cooking to travel and children's shows. The demand for talented TV presenters is thus high and competition for these positions can be fierce. A great presenter can be the face of a show that makes the difference between staying on the air and swift cancellation. However, becoming a great TV anchor takes more than just showing up in front of the camera. Anchoring or hosting a show on television is an art that requires that you master the ability to talk into the cameras, conduct engaging interviews and read from an autocue while maintaining your poise under any situation. Are you ready to take your first step towards becoming a successful TV presenter? This course takes you through the steps taken to launch a career on the small screen.

The first step to becoming a television presenter is to acquire the relevant qualifications and experience. We introduce you to the different fields of Media Studies and describe the kind of internships that can help you get your foot in the door via entry-level jobs in broadcasting. TV presenters also need to understand their responsibilities and the course covers the roles, attributes and daily duties of a presenter. We cover all aspects of on-camera presentation, including speaking techniques, wardrobe and colour selection, nonverbal communication and how to apply makeup to ensure a polished and professional appearance. Interviewing is one of the most common responsibilities of a TV presenter so knowing how to prepare for interviews is vital. The course explains how to prepare for and conduct engaging interviews that captivate your audience. We show you how to choose interview questions, conduct research and prepare scripts for a show.

The course then takes you through the steps of making a fantastic showreel that demonstrates your talent and skills to prospective employers. We then examine the role of the equipment used in the broadcast industry, including the in-ear talkback, teleprompter and different cameras and teach you basic camera techniques. Working in television is very exciting but demanding and suits people who are driven, charismatic and passionate and who thrive while working under pressure in high-energy environments. All you need is determination, persistence and practice in front of the camera. Are you still wondering if you’re cut out for the profession? Do you think you can succeed on camera and become a TV personality? Take this course and learn everything you need to know to become a television presenter.
