THE POWER OF BEING NICE

Bit of invaluable Monday inspiration for you.  And it’s all about the value and power of being nice….

TV is all about teamwork.  As a presenter you need to be able to work as part of a team, take direction, be able to be produced, bring someone else’s script to life.   So when we are looking for presenters for programmes we always look for someone who is nice.   Someone we like.  And therefore someone the audience will warm to.
 
In the office we often day to each other - what are they like to work with?  What is that presenter like to produce?
 
So it’s important on so many levels to be nice!
 
Have a great week everyone and feel free to share your experiences and comment below.

BAFTA WINNING EXECUTIVE TV PRODUCER

HUGE congratulations to our co-MD Leon Campbell who has won a BAFTA for his work as the co-Executive Producer on Gogglebox.  It's an amazing achievement and we are all so proud of him here.  The team have worked so hard over the pandemic and kept the show on air, and now have won a BAFTA for best Factual Entertainment Series.  We are so proud to offer you presenter training with Producers who work in TV, and now we are even more proud to offer you presenter training and presenter courses by BAFTA winning TV Producers!  

So if you want the best out of a presenter course come and work with us.  And you may even get a photo with our BAFTA±  

He's gone and done it again! Our co-MD has been working as a Talent Executive for the BBC and this is his latest project - The Great Home Transformation which starts on Channel 4 tonight at 2000. Gareth had to find the new on-screen experts for the show - and cast the amazing interior designer Alexandria Dauley and the fabulous Tim Hitchens all presented by the lovely Emnma Willis and Nick Grimshaw.  

Gareth has a huge passion for new talent - hence @thepresenterstudio - and has been responsible for everything from casting the original line up of the Strictly Come Dancing judges Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli, Arlene Phillips and Len Goodman to channel 4 documentaries. 

So give the show a watch tonight. 

Join in our support for new talent. And see how fantastic the team all are! 

We can't wait! 


It’s been another fabulous week here at The Presenter Studio with clients winning awards, being nominated for awards (ourselves included - BAFTA Baby!) and we wanted to wrap things up with a shout out to Emma Lightbown who started a dream job as a fashion expert on QVC today. 

She joins a long list of our clients who now present on the channel!   Emma came on our award-winning Fast Track Presenter Training Programme.  

So big congrats Emma - keep up the good work - and happy Friday everyone!

EDINBURGH TV FESTIVAL NOMINATED

Big congrats to our client SALINA ZAHER who is nominated for the Future Presenter Award for the Edinburgh TV Festival brought to you by Screen Scotland. It's a great achievement in such a short amount of time. We are hugely passionate about new talent here at The Presenter Studio - TV thrives on new, but we do very little to develop new talent. There's a lot of support for new talent off screen but not enough industry support for on-screen.  

Salina came and trained with us and did the 2 day Fast Track Programme and then the 1 to 1 programme.  

We are super proud!

We talk a lot to our clients about presenting with warmth. You want to be relatable for your audience - giving information in an accessible way.
 
Too often we concentrate on the 'professional' rather than simply coming across as someone 'relatable'.
 
We love this clip of Lady Gaga at the Academy Awards presenting with Liza Minnelli - it's a great example of how warmth can make an audience connect.

Public Speaker

Our co-CEO Gareth Davies spoke at International Confex last week.  He gave a presentation on How to be a Great Event Presenter...

And he received some incredible feedback on LinkedIn.  So we thought it would be nice to share some of the comments Gareth received about his presentation.  

"It was the best presentation I have ever seen, incredibly valuable." 

"You gave the best presentaion I have probably seen in years." 

"It was quite something." 

"It was a masterclass in presenting."

Gareth has worked in TV and broadcasting for over 20 years, working as a producer and a presenter.  

So if you are looking for an event host, speaker or presenter you may want to give him a try so see what all the fuss is about!    

Here's Gareth's showreel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PieMrWEdNU0

Enjoy!

New Talent Found for Channel 4 Series

This is our latest TV project for Channel 4 with BBC Studios - #greathometransformation where I worked as a Talent Executive and cast the two fabulous on-screen experts who are the faces of the show alongside the fabulous Emma Willis and Nick Grimshaw.  

Alexandria Dauley is the interior designer - a fabulous Welsh talent and Tim Hitchens is the carpenter.   I found both, pitched them to Channel 4, and they are now fronting their own new series.  

We are much more than a presenter agent here.  We are TV Producers who can put our names to new talent and get them on screen.  

Finding and developing new talent for TV is what I love to do. And I've got a great track record from casting the #strictlycomedancing judges to working with Rylan to finding new documentary voices for Channel4 - you name it I have done it!  

This series is out in the Spring and I can't wait to see how the team got on!
