As we are thrust into an age of digital communication technologies, opportunities are becoming endless for people to perform in front of the cameras either on television or the Internet. Executives representing their companies or students aspiring to work in the broadcast field are often intimidated by the thought of going on camera. One of the reasons for these fears is that there are so few resources to aid in educating people about broadcast performing expectations.

Detailed "how to" for appearing on TV and the 'Net,
By
This review is from: Sound and Look Professional on TV and the Internet (Paperback)
"Sound and Look Professional" provides the on-camera television novice with myriad tips on looking and sound one's best when appearing on a medium that often offers little feedback in terms of audience. The authors give sound (literally) advice for the beginning reporter, host, and guest, running the gamut from how to sound good to how to (and very important for a visual medium) look good. The reader learns about the various positions in the television studio, how to read cues on the set, and very detailed information on the presentation of the self in terms of make-up, clothing, and hairstyle. These all contribute to the credibility of anyone appearing on TV. Also provided are some scripts from "real life" TV news stories and commercials, and helpful ideas about constructing the resume for careers in the broadcast industry. Especially notable is the authors' point that just as important, if not more, for credibility than appearance is the voice, the on-camera talent's true "tool" for effective presentation. This book, written by industry insiders, aims to give the best advice to those wishing to enhance credibility.

This review is from: Sound and Look Professional on TV and the Internet (Paperback)
This book is VERY helpful to those wishing to be on TV. I had the opportunity to take a Broadcast Voice class with Michelle McCoy and it was absolutly the best thing I have ever been to. If you ever get a chance to meet her take the opportunity. She provides a wealth of knowledge for a variety of topics in broadcasting.
