It is a media based course that concentrates on preparing students for the professional TV Broadcasting arena. We are enrolling a high calibre of student , including many on air presenters who are utilizing the advanced course for either a brush-up or a platform to experiment with other styles to enhance versatility.

We encourage students from all walks of life who have excellent communication skills , a charismatic personality and are well spoken to apply for this course. …We are casting for all programs: from finance, sport and travel programs to lifestyle, kids and arts programs.

‘SPECIALTY PRESENTING’
Your expertise and experience is what the producers require to qualify you for a casting. (For example: Landscaping for gardening pgms or Veterinary science for animal prgms).So, whatever your background, taking that information and experience to the screen, is what we specialize in. Our training courses will hone your broadcasting skills and develop your style in front of the camera for a professional casting.

Show reels:


Once you have completed your training, we offer to design and produce your show reel. (Your portfolio). Our show reels are versatile and competitive, incorporating a variety of styles to exhibit your flexibility and full potential as a presenter. Over the years we have surveyed many producers and in doing so have fine-tuned our reels to suit their requirements. This is one of the main reasons our presenters are getting work in this industry. Our reels are shot with top of the range Panasonic cameras, Sennheiser lapel microphones and experienced directors, camera operators and editors.

Each student will be allocated an individual shoot time approx:4-5 hours. A full day is sometimes required for specialty reels. All venues and locations are arranged prior to shoot. For a quote please contact info@tvproglobal.com

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR: SHARON LYNNE


It has been such an exciting year for our graduates. In fact this year we saw the highest placement rate amongst out students EVER!…. The good news is that next year is also shaping up to be a great year with loads of new programs/opportunities surfacing as well as the arrival of new online channels which we all know attract the ‘new presenter’….

Yes, it is a competitive industry but as my graduates know… if you look in unusual places, things will happen… as long as you use your plan of action that each of my graduates receive from their training… Once the momentum kicks in… and you run with it (as Charly Duffy has proven recently)… then you won’t look back. I printed her testimonial in last month’s letter… here is a snippet:

…Just wanted to let you know I have just won the lotto presenter role with Channel 7 and have been booked for a regular spot on On Display. None of this could have happened without your tips, support and encouragement and Im just so grateful. Charly Duffy

This is a perfect time to get yourself ready for “casting season” starting up in January 2012 …Remember to take the good with the bad.. because that’s the industry… and if you are prepared to take the knocks and stand up tall afterwards and continue to promote yourself with confidence, … YOU WILL EVENTUALLY FIND YOUR BREAK INTO THIS AMAZING INDUSTRY!!

Here’s to a fun and SAFE festive season …..and a successful new year
