If you
watch TV and think I can do that, but better! Prove it
with Telly Faces.
At Telly Faces we
specialise in providing 1 to 1
TV Presenter training and the
production of presenter show reel demos. With our 1 to 1
TV presenter coaching & filming, we can be your first step in getting a
foot hold onto the ladder to TV presentation. You've got to start
somewhere and this is it.
Most showreels can be shot in
1 day along with your TV presenter training & coaching.
With so
much "bull" and "snobbery" in the TV world, Telly Faces
says if you've got it - show it. Be happy in the
knowledge most people just talk about how good they are
to friends and family, most do nothing with their
creative flair and talent. Our TV presenter training
courses & showreels are ideal for people of all ages who
want to make a career change, full or part time.
Whatever the economical environment, TV presenters will
always be in demand.

At Telly Faces you'll learn how to be a TV Presenter
and look relaxed in front of a camera, how to interview people, also how to
talk to time and memorise lines. You'll learn how not to
look awkward. We'll also teach you how to use your voice
for TV presenting and what to do with those hands.
 |
|
We'll show you
what you can expect on film shoots and above all your
Telly Faces Director will do his best to draw out your
Unique Selling Point (USP). This is crucial for
success on TV. Having just a pretty face won't make you
a TV presenter, you'll need other talents too, including
personality. Because TV presenting requires much
personal skill we don't think it can be taught as a
"group session" so all we do is one to one under the
coaching skills of Rod Lucas. |
