TV Presenter Courses « Result #2 on Jul 19, 2003, 5:03am »
I've been receiving a lot of requests about courses for presenting television shows. Very few exist, though I have managed to find one. (The only thing I would say though is it is unlikely you'll get a job as a tv presenter straight away, so it might be advisable to have a more wholistic understanding of television production.)
Onion Media Group, Television Presenters training courses, workshops and show reel creation.
Contact: Nick Piper Base: Sydney, New South Wales Mobile: 0405 462 781
"The Courses cover all the necessary aspects of television presenting including practical tuition and exercises for better presenting, types of presenting, styles and scripting, plus looking for agents, marketing yourself, showreel production and approaching television networks."
Beginners Courses $99 in Sydney and $150 elsewhere
Project Workshops $50 This workshop will use one camera to every 2-3 people. The focus will be on shooting projects throughout the day. This type of workshop encourages on-camera performance but also creative scripting and direction. Each individual will have the opportunity to view and critique their 4-5 projects. This course provides a great opportunity to workshop ideas, collaborate with talented aspirants, spend time on camera and have the opportunity to assess other projects and presenters.
Advanced Workshops $50 Plenty of scripts and audition pieces to perform. This session caters for the individual who needs practice in a performance setting. You will be placed in performance situations as well shooting PTCs and a mini-project. You will be surrounded by people who are motivated by the same things so it is a chance to mingle with equally driven and determined.
If you find other courses, or participate in this one, please let me know. I'd love to hear how you got on.
