As someone who started reporting on Dirty Water Media / NESN's Dirty Water TV with no prior experience, it was a little daunting showing up on my first day of filming!
Looking back, there’s so much I’ve learned throughout my process of starting as an on camera reporter and host.
Let’s be honest though, if you have the itch to do it, that’s the first step to success.
There can be so many things going on showing up to a shoot, like noise, crowds, and drunk people asking you what you’re filming for. So being relaxed is super important when getting my head in the game.
Some key steps I remember when going into a shoot include…
🎤Doing any prior research or script reading before showing up! Sometimes this isn’t always an option but does help.
🎤Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, professional, and confident!
🎤LISTEN to the other person. It’s always nice to have questions in your head for what you might ask next, but most of the time that comes with working off of the person you’re speaking to.
🎤Ask all of the questions prior, it’s never dumb to clarify something.
🎤When in doubt, smile, take a breath, and keep going! This allows you to chill out and get your head where it needs to be.
What helps you when you’re about to get in front of people? Maybe a camera, or do something out of your comfort zone?
