TRAINING
The training course that TV Pro Global is offering is an
intense weekend certificate
course, which is both challenging and exhilarating. It is held in almost
all states
throughout Australia
as well as New Zealand and the results speak for themselves (see above placements).
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. We also cast for corporate training videos, advertorials
and on-line TV, all of which the new presenter can apply for. ***Please note that journalism is required for
news reporting

‘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.
Jasmine Richwol is a professional
chef extraordinaire
with her specialty in “kids cooking” where she cooks & interacts with kids in the kitchen.
Jasmine has just finished her training and specialty showreel with TV Pro Global and is presently being marketed and promoted
to the TV industry.
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

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
