Getting your TV Presenter Showreel right is crucial to your success.

Showreels have such a bad reputation in our industry with people going on generic courses and they give you a DVD of you ‘pretending to be a TV Presenter’.  These showreels go straight in the bin and unfortunately while you might have had a fun day out you will find it very difficult to get mainstream TV Presenting work.

Here’s our top tips to getting yourself a good reel in 2012.

1.  WHO AM I?  Ask yourself what makes you different and why?

2.  WHAT IS MY BRAND? Once you’ve worked out what’s different about you think about how you can accentuate it and play around with it.

3.  WHAT IS MY MARKET?  Narrow down your options.  Think what type of show or genre do I want to present in, or am I best suited to and go for that one.  Narrowing down your options will open doors!

4.  IMAGE.  Your look is key.  Make sure your look matches your brand and market but has a personal twist to it.

5.  GET A TALENT TASTER TAPE.  You need an industry based reel that sells you and your brand.  We are the only company to offer this product.  We’ve worked in TV now for over 16 years and know the industry inside out.  We’ve helped launch the careers of countless presenters on TV so you can 100% trust us in what we do.
