Sharon, thank you so much for the excellent training, you said we would all get jobs within the following year and it's true!
I am reading the daily finance news report for an online TV channel which is a fantastic start and they are happy with me which is a relief! Your autocue tips have been very, very useful, I would have had no idea otherwise, and would certainly not have the job without your direction.

Hello Sharon,
THANK YOU for the weekend.
It was a pleasure to be taught by you.
YOU are a wonderful and talented person and I admired the care and attention that you gave to each and every one of us on the course. You have a great ability to connect with all types of people and understand and strengthen individuals' attributes.
The techniques and feedback that you gave to me will be invaluable in life in general and I now feel much more relaxed and excited about the possibility of being involved in a documentary. I will let you know what happens.
So thank you again for a great and challenging weekend and the gifts you have given to me.
With gratitude and deep respect

Hi Sharon,
You will also be pleased to hear that shortly after I uploaded them and revamped my CV I went for an audition and have been offered a position as a presenter for a new show called The Surgery!!!!!
It's a health show broadcasts on the Asian network and I will anchor it on my own and be presenting different health issues/topics each week and interviewing various guests and specialists and I am soooo excited I can’t even speak!!!
I just received my contract so will be going through it tonight and have been asked to come up next week to shoot a promo for the show :)
It hasn’t quite hit me that I've landed this yet but I am so happy and so glad that to have met you because I really don’t think I would've had the courage and confidence to chase this as hard as I have without your belief in me especially after I moved and completely lost my path!
Thanks again for your help and understanding and most of all your encouragement as that was definitely the push I needed!
I will keep you posted on what happens, and just to add, the producer was very impressed with my reels so much so he asked when did I go to LA (the music segment!)
Thanks again Sharon, you are a godsend :)
Take care,

Hello Sharon,
I wanted to give you an update on where I am at. I have been volunteering at Ch31 on a show called 360 as a presenter and floor manager since February and it has been great experience. I made the short list for a presenter competition for Omni TV made the top 10 out of 100 nationally, got interviews for snow reporting for Thredbo and Mt Buller. I made the short list for these 2 as well. Thredbo said I am next in line should anything happen to a staff member this year. Mt Buller rang on Tuesday and offered me a Lodge Managers position and in my spare time I will get work experience with the snow reporting team and help out if they need it. So my foot is in the door there. I have also helped out as an AD on a TV series and some commercials. I am persisting although is up and down I am determined.
Hope you are well and still singing your heart out.
Kind Regards

Hi Sharon.
Thankyou so much. I thoroughly enjoyed your intensive 2 day hosting and presenting course last weekend in Melbourne. My head is in a spin! What a fantastic course absolutely jam packed with information and ideas. I was very impressed with your industry insight and thankyou for all the 'inside information' and tips you so generously shared with us. I would like to commend you on your attention to detail and professionalism and I particularly enjoyed the small class size and individual direction you gave me when working in front of the camera. Can't wait to get working in this exciting industry.
Talk to you next week,
Thanks again,

Hi Sharon. I have learnt so much, and am so glad I did your course, you brought out the best in me and found talent and strengths that I didn't even know I had.
SO A MASSIVE THANKYOU FOR THAT!
I have decided I definitely will go ahead with the show reel. It's an investment into my future.
I've also given a young guy at my work some info to encourage him to do the course when you are back later in the year, I just know he will do well.

I have been working in the industry for a couple of years now and I decided to do the program to gain technical skills specific to the industry, gain constructive feedback relating to my current presenting style and to explore various TV genres to assist me realize the genres that I would like to focus on going forward. Sharon Lynne is a brilliant trainer and from both a presenters and producers perspective, provided industry tips and constructive feedback that will definitely assist any budding or experienced TV presenters to polish their skills.
