WANT TO BE A TV PRESENTER?
Of all areas in the entertainment industry, TV presenting is possibly one of the most competitive fields to break into. It is certainly one of the areas where the interested but unwary can spend the most money fastest with hundreds of expensive showreel and training courses advertising on the web and in the press.
As with agents, it is not that every company offering TV training and showreel services is at best a waste of money and a worst a scam-there are some very good and respected courses and consultants out there.
However identifying the worthwhile ones from the time and money wasters can be be very difficult-and it definitely isn't the case that the ones with the flashiest websites who make the most impressive claims are necessarily the best investment.
Often making the best choice is a combination of two things. Firstly you need to know what is current and cutting edge in the TV presenting market (sadly, several courses offer good training....but only if you want to train to be a presenter in 1985!). Secondly you need to have a good idea of what your own career plan is, so you can make the right choices in what is a very diverse market.)
