MESSAGE FROM SHARON LYNNE

Each year I meet and train some extraordinary people...talented, passionate and determined. Some of those graduate’s names are in the ‘placed talent’ at the top of this page. It makes me very proud to see how determined many of these graduates are, as they persevere with their “send-outs” and if the conventional way won’t work….they look left of field.

Getting into TV does not necessarily mean only mainstream TV. It’s a lucky break to get any gig these days…. that is going to get your foot in the door.

I encourage you to also look outside the square for opportunities that will open bigger doors once you have gained some experience. Some of these areas are:

·        On-line presenting (plenty at the moment)

·        Corporate training videos

·        Training films

·        Export industries (Wine, tourism etc)

·        Pilot programs

·        Advertorial

·        Infomercial

·        Community TV

Be realistic and you will eventually get there…

NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR GOAL!!!

I AM ALWAYS HERE TO GUIDE AND ADVISE MY GRADUATES.

Good luck for this year………………

Sharon Lynne
