Broadcast Interviews
Whether in the radio or television studio, the broadcast interview provides you with the opportunity to deliver your message to millions. This is the glamour side of the media, but is not always as easy as it seems.
Our expert broadcast trainers are all highly experienced presenters and will ensure you are ready to face the bright lights of the television studio as well as the intimate radio environment.
Television Interview Training
With the proliferation of 24-hour news channels and web video it is now more likely than ever that you will be invited into the television studios to represent your organisation. It might look simple, but we have all seen people melt before the bright lights and cameras. Appearing on television is, in many ways, not an alien experience. It might not feel real, but what you say and how you appear is. You can make or break your reputation in just one short interview.
At parsleymedia our broadcast experts take you through the processes and techniques of the television interview, using a range of practical exercises to ensure you feel comfortable in front of the cameras.
Get Your Point Across
You are likely to have just a short amount of time make your point, so being clear on what you want to say is more important than ever. We teach you the techniques to ensure you get that all important message across, no matter what the questions thrown at you.
Our journalists will review your performances with you and provide practical advice and tips on any issues that arise.
Got The Look?
You might have your messages and exactly what you want to say thoroughly prepared, but what you say might not matter if your appearance is not right. It’s not merely about what you wear, but you also need to appear relaxed and in control.
It seems odd, but you have to be prepared to look as natural as possible. Our trainers will take you through the dos and don’ts of appearing on screen and ensure the audience sees your point of view, not your sweaty brow.
The Sound Bite
An average news item is one minute and 30 seconds long. During this short period there are several components and you may be required for a single short comment. This means distilling your message into just 15 seconds, the length of the typical sound bite. That is a mere 45 words and our broadcasting courses will show you just how much you can say and how much impact you can make with just 15 seconds.
In The Radio Studio
There are more radio stations in the UK than ever. The introduction of digital services and the growth in internet radio means you can reach your audience like never before.
Our team of radio experts will put you right in the heart of the studio and demonstrate how intimate the medium is. What you say on radio is even more important than what you say on television because you are talking to people who are often doing other things like driving to work. This means your message has to be compelling to grab and retain the interest of listeners.
We will show you how to talk with great examples, creating word pictures that spark the listeners’ imagination. Done well, radio can be one of the most enjoyable media experiences. It is one of the best opportunities you can have to get your message across and make a real positive impact for you and your organisation.
