On Camera

This industry veteran is finally sharing with wide audiences her best-kept secrets and tips for presenting on-camera for television. After teaching for two decades and developing a popular on-camera skills class at The New School in New York City, Nan Reardon is now teaching on-camera skills to students through her book, On-Camera Presentation.

This book teaches you how to be at ease, whether doing an interview or reporting in the field, or whether reading copy from a teleprompter or giving a presentation. It provides the basic nuts and bolts of how to do the job of anchoring, reporting and interviewing once you get in front of the camera in the studio, or out on location. This book provides the techniques, exercises, tricks of the trade and some true stories from the business--of value to novices with no experience in front of the camera and more experienced presenters working in small markets or seeking to work at bigger stations. The book will also help you if you need to brush up on your presentation skills. Presenting is not limited to television, as media professionals need to be able to comfortably present live, on video conference, as well as live and recorded video to large and small groups.
