Big congratulations to Twist and Pulse who won Britain's Got Talent:  The Champions.  The guys are so talented and deserve all their success.  They are also aspiring TV presenters - and they are really very good!  They came and trained with us a few years ago, adn we really hope this new found success will open up even more doors for them.  

Here is the presenter showreel we did for them:  https://youtu.be/SGp5vGyhf3c They came on the award-winning fast track TV presenter training course, where they worked alongside 3 other clients across 2 days.  

This is what they had to say about working with us too:  

"What an incredible inspiring course.  Most definitely the best presenting course out there for up and coming presenters.  Gareth and Leon both take the time to get to know you and your personality as much as possible to benefit yourself.  Passion, fun and hard work all rolled into one - just how we like to work!"

Well done guys - super proud of you and all the great things you do!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PRESENTER?

Don’t be generic!  Too many presenters try and appeal to everyone, whereas you actually need to find out your USP.   

 

Find your own style of presenting – from your scripts, to how you stand etc.  There are actually no one-size-fits-all rules to how to be a good presenter – so work on your own brand.  But make sure you brand yourself according to the area of work you want to work in…

 

All the genres of TV are very different to each other, and it’s very rare for a presenter to work across them all.

The main genres are:

Entertainment

Factual Entertainment

Features

News 

 

All of our training is specific to the genre of work we think you are best suited to.  So it pays to be different and it also pays to know where you’d fit in!  

So if you want to find out where we think you’re best suited to come and work with us.  Take a look around the site www.presenterstudio.comat our training programmes or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

FRANCESCA MARTINEZ ON QUESTION TIME

Did you watch Francesca Martinez on Question Time?   

 

Her impassioned answer to Fiona Bruce’s question has gone viral.  So why did her answer engage and touch so many of us?  The reason is it was ‘personal’.  So many debates and speeches lack personal content – we all know people buy people, so where is there so much corporate jargon?  

 

Francesca’s personal story brings a problem to life.  All of a sudden what she has to say can’t be ignored as we can see and hear from someone who is part of the problem, and this makes it all the more real.  But it wasn’t just what Francesca said on the BBC’s Question Time that connected with people, it was how she said it.  She spoke from the heart.  Her answer was passionate, and passion goes a long way.  If you are passionate about something it’s hard for the viewer not to be too.  

 

Her passion made her message so much more engaging, and you instantly felt a connection and an understanding of what Francesca was saying.   

 

We should all learn something from Francesca’s time on Question Time – not only from what she said, but how she made a forgotten problem now a big topical issue – from being personal and passionate.  

 

Well done Francesca….

We set up The Presenter Studio over 11 years ago out of pure frustration in the lack of new presenting talent coming into our industry.  And so we want everyone who comes to work with us to do well.  And so much work goes on behind the scenes here to promote everyone...

Everyone who comes on either our Fast Track presenter training programme or the 1-to-1 advanced presenter training programme and gets the edit of their Talent Taster Tape done, will win a place on our Talent Database.  This is our database that TV channels, TV companies and agents can access when they contact us looking for presenters.  

In 2024 we also joined forces with the UK's top presenter agent Arlington.  They now have first option to sign any of our clients.  A priceless opportunoty and a powerful collaboration.  

We are well known in TV and are contacted by TV channels, agents and production companies the whole time, asking who have we recently worked with that we like.  

We’ve got presenters work on TV - CBBC, BBC 1, Channel 4, E4, Channel FIVE, TV commercials, corporate videos, QVC, and work with amazing brands like Starbucks, Google, Amazon, and event hosting jobs and we have also helped our presenters get agents.

We have held free networking events and also hold ‘meet the agent’ days for our clients when agents come in to see what talent we have got.  

All we ask is that you keep in contact with us after you have trained with us – help us to help you.  

For the jobs we get our cleints we don’t act as a formal agent for you so you can go and find an agent too.  Our support comes from a need in TV for new talent and for our passion to help everyone who comes through our doors as best we can.  

We never promise anyone a job, as we can never predict what work will come in and what programmes are going to be made.  But we passionate about what we do, and we are here to help.

Media Training Main Content

HOW WE WORKWHO WE WORK WITHTestimonialsCase Study

If you want media training that is current, dynamic and gets the best out of you, we are the place to come.  

We are the UK's leading media training company and offer something extra special and personal in the all too sterile and out-of-date world of media training.  

You'll work with BAFTA winning TV Producers, media coaches and former BBC NEWS journalists that have worked with some of the biggest names in broadcasting.

We will design a media training programme based on your goals and our own intensive research on your business.

Clients come to us for coaching for TV, radio, corporate videos, and social media content for instagram, YouTube and TikTok - our training is bespoke to your needs.

We are the only company to develop your 'personal brand' helping you find your own presenting style - one that works with the brand of your business.   

We’ll teach you our secrets, and expert tips and tricks that we have developed in over 20 years in the media business.

So if you want to maximise your media opportunity we can help you realise your true potential.   

A BESPOKE MEDIA TRAINING PACKAGE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS:

Everything is bespoke to you, and the type of media work you wil be doing, ensuring we get exceptional results.  

The length of our sessions are also bespoke to your needs.  So we can discuss the various options:  

- 1-to-1 two hour coaching sessions in person or online.

- 1-to-1 full day(s) or half day coaching in person or online.  

- Group coaching sessions in person or online.  

PRIOR TO YOUR MEDIA TRAINING SESSION - WE WILL RESEARCH YOU, YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR NEEDS:

In advance of our media training session we’ll send you a form to fill in where we can start to get to know you, your business and your needs.  We'll then undertake detailed research into your business, brand, and customer – from looking at your website to social media to any previous media work.

DEVELOP YOUR 'PERSONAL BRAND AND CREATE CONTENT THAT IS ON MESSAGE AND AUTHENTIC:

Our media training programmes are personality driven as your personality is the key to your success.  Audiences are wise to and turned off by people who have been ‘media trained’.  

If you want to be successful you need to come across as natural, authentic and honest so that your audience can connect and identify with you - it's what we call finding your personal brand.  And we'll ensure your personal brand works with the brand of your business. 

You'll develop your own style, find your own voice and ensure that your message feels authentic. 

We are also real creatives so if you want to create content for your social media we can come up with scripts, ideas and a strategy for you.

We have produced TV’s biggest programmes from BBC NEWS to entertainment shows like Strictly Come Dancing to Documentaries to Features.  

A Producer is hired to ‘produce’ the Presenter – writing their scripts and giving them direction.  

We are seasoned experts in content creation and in making 'you' look good - from perfecting your message, your script and how to deliver it.  

HOW TO CRAFT A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT HAS IMPACT: 

We'll also look at your messaging, scripts and content as without a clear message everything else falls down.  

We are experts in script writing and content creation and will reveal our tricks on how to write and structure your content to ensure your message authentic, engaging and impactful.  

HOW TO MASTER THE RULES OF THE MEDIA:

If you are to be working in TV or Radio our media training courses are bespoke to you and the areas we look to include are: 

- How to think about your media interview.  

- How and what to prepare.

- How to master an interview and answer difficult questions.

- How to get your message across.

- How to talk to time. 

- How to present with impact.  

- How to be your authentic self.

CASE STUDY 1

Client: NIKE

BRIEF:

To train 100 of their social media influencers from all around the world in one session in London.

THE PROCESS:

NIKE asked us to coach 100 EKINS (social media influencer team – NIKE spelt backwards) to help them come across on brand, natural and engaging for all their social media and video content.

After initial conversations we wrote them a bespoke training programme that was both practical and informative, working with the scripts and type of work NIKE were doing.

THE TRAINING DAY:

We had 3 hours to coach 100 clients flown from all over the world to work with us. Clients worked in teams and received individual coaching around various exercises.

WHAT NIKE SAID:

“Big shout out for putting together an awesome run of show and quickly learning and understanding the group’s needs. The tone of voice of how the session was great too, very casual and informal, the best way EKINs respond! The Team expressed how fun, engaging, practical and ultimately useful they found the session.”
NIKE

CASE STUDY 2

Here's one example of how a client had a bespoke media training day that also combined presentation skills coaching.  

CLIENT: SAGE

BRIEF:

A one day bespoke training session for 4 people, to include media training and presentation skills coaching.

BEFORE THE DAY:

Each attendee is sent a form, where they can tell us about their business, their role, their needs and want to get out of their time with us.  

A BESPOKE TRAINING PROGRAMME:

We tailor-make the programme to suit each individual’s needs, and those of the department that asked us to do the training.

A DAY OF TWO HALVES - AM: MEDIA TRAINING. PM: PRESENTATION SKILLS:

The morning focussed on media training, and the afternoon on presentation skills.

We started by taking a step back, looking at the brand of the business, their customer, the ambition of the business and the purpose of their video content. This ‘re-group’ really helps the clients to revaluate, refocus and puts everything we do into context.

DEVELOPING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND:

We discuss the importance of finding your own voice, but one that works within the voice of the business – and that is the core purpose of the whole day – to explore, develop and establish each individual’s presenting style.

OUR DO’S AND DON’TS:

There are no general rules to how to be a good presenter – as each person is different. So we chat you through our checklist of things to think about when it comes to being ‘you’ and ‘believable’ on camera.

ON CAMERA WORK:

We worked with the clients in lots of different ways, with and without scripts - putting the clients in scenarios that reflect the media work they will have to do.  Each exercise is also about building their personal brand, with detailed coaching from us.

SCRIPTS AND DEALING WITH INFORMATION/TAKE-OUT:

Scripts play a big part in what we do – the foundation to a good presenter is understanding what makes a good script, how to make it your own, and how to deal with any information you might need to get across.

PRESENTATION SKILLS:

The afternoon was spent looking at presentation skills. We started off with our do’s and dont’s, before giving feedback on the scripts they had previously written.

Much time was then spent rewriting scripts, before we worked with each person individually on delivering their new presentation in front of the room.

THEIR PERSONAL BRANDS:

We end the day discussing their personal brands, bringing together all the work we have done.
