If there’s one mistake people consistently make in media interviews, it’s this: they forget their message.

Under pressure, it’s easy to go off on a tangent, give long-winded answers, or try to say too much. But the most successful interviews are the ones where the speaker is focused, clear, and in control of what they want the audience to remember.

That’s where media training comes in. It helps you identify your key messages — the core points you want to land — and shows you how to weave them naturally into conversation. No matter what question you’re asked, you’ll learn how to bridge back to what matters.

This doesn’t mean ignoring the question. It means answering it in a way that still delivers value to your audience and reinforces your message. It’s about balance — being authentic while staying strategic.

So if you’re ever in a situation where you need to represent yourself or your company in the media, remember this: preparation beats improvisation. Know your message, practise your delivery, and you’ll come across as confident and credible.

In today’s fast-moving digital world, the media can be your greatest opportunity — or your biggest risk. That’s why media training is no longer just for celebrities or politicians. It’s a vital skill for anyone representing a brand or business.

When you're being interviewed, how you say something matters just as much as what you say. Media training helps you learn how to deliver your message clearly, confidently, and with purpose — whether it's on camera, in print, or across social media.

It also prepares you for pressure. Interviews can be unpredictable, and without the right tools, it’s easy to get thrown off track. Media training teaches you how to stay calm, avoid being misquoted, and handle difficult questions with professionalism.

Most importantly, it helps you speak like a real person. Audiences connect with authenticity — not jargon or rehearsed statements. Great media interviews feel conversational, natural, and honest.

If you're a business leader, spokesperson, or expert in your field, media training should be part of your professional toolkit. It's about protecting your brand, owning your story, and making your voice count.

When it comes to media training, people often focus on what they say. But how you say it is just as important. And that’s where energy comes in.

Energy isn’t about being loud or over the top—it’s about showing that you care. When your voice has life, your eyes are engaged, and you’re actively involved in the conversation, the audience is far more likely to trust and believe you.

TV and radio have a way of flattening everything. So the energy you feel on the inside often doesn’t come across unless you deliberately turn it up a notch. That’s why media training sessions often feel like performance coaching. You need to lift your delivery, bring pace and contrast, and make sure your enthusiasm shines through.

This is especially true if the topic is serious or technical. Energy is what cuts through. It makes people want to listen. And crucially, it makes you feel more confident too.

So next time you’re prepping for an interview, don’t just script your message. Rehearse how you’re going to deliver it—with the energy it deserves.

In media appearances, how you look matters – not just in terms of style, but in terms of story. Your clothes send a message. They say something before you’ve even opened your mouth. So what are they saying about your brand?

At The Presenter Studio, one of the first things we ask clients is: Does what you’re wearing reflect the tone and feel of your business? For example, if you’re a relaxed, creative founder, a stiff suit might make you look out of step with your brand identity. Equally, if you’re representing a high-end corporate firm, a casual t-shirt might feel off-brand or unprepared.

Your appearance should support – not contradict – your message. It’s not about fashion. It’s about consistency. Colour, texture, formality, accessories – all these elements help create a visual impression that needs to align with how you want to be perceived.

And it’s not just about the brand. It’s about you, too. You need to feel comfortable and confident. Clothes that feel unfamiliar or awkward will impact how you move, how you sit, how you speak. The best on-camera looks are those that make you feel like the best version of yourself.

In our media training at The Presenter Studio, we offer advice not just on performance, but on styling – what works on camera, what to avoid, and how to find the sweet spot between your brand and your personality. Whether it’s a big studio interview or a social media video, we help you look the part and own the room.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in interviews – whether on TV, radio or online – is trying to say too much. In an effort to be thorough, they waffle. They lose focus. And ultimately, their main point gets lost in a sea of words.

That’s why a cornerstone of great media training at The Presenter Studio is helping clients identify and deliver their key messages. What do you want your audience to remember? What is the one thing you'd say if you only had 20 seconds?

The media doesn’t give you long. A live radio interview might last five minutes, a TV clip might be just 30 seconds. So your job is to edit yourself – to go in prepared with sharp, relevant, and memorable points.

Think of it like packing for a short trip: only take what you absolutely need. The rest is just extra weight. Great communicators don’t ramble – they distil.

To get started, write down three things you want your audience to remember. Then practise saying each one in a single sentence. That’s your foundation. From there, you can add supporting examples, stats or stories if time allows – but you’ve already done the hard part.

Our media training sessions at The Presenter Studio are designed to sharpen your message and help you deliver it with clarity and confidence. We simulate real media environments, offer tailored feedback, and help you learn to stay on track under pressure.

Facing a camera can feel unnatural. There's no eye contact, no nodding head, no visible reaction – just a black lens staring back at you. It's no wonder many people freeze, overthink their delivery, or come across as wooden on screen. But here’s one of the most effective – and surprisingly simple – techniques we teach at The Presenter Studio: treat the camera as if it were a real person.

Imagine the camera is your best client, your most engaged colleague, or your most supportive friend. The goal is to create a genuine connection. When you shift your mindset away from ‘broadcasting’ and toward ‘communicating’, your tone naturally becomes warmer, your delivery more relaxed, and your performance more authentic.

Why does this matter? Because viewers can instantly tell when something feels rehearsed or robotic. The magic of great on-camera presence lies in making the audience feel like you’re speaking directly to them, not just delivering a message. Eye-line, tone, and intention all improve when you stop seeing the lens as a threat and start seeing it as a human.

At The Presenter Studio, our clients often find that this one mental shift unlocks a whole new level of confidence. We use practical exercises and personalised coaching to help them come across as natural and connected – even when the red light is on.

When it comes to high-pressure media appearances, good intentions aren’t enough. You need training that’s grounded in real-world experience, tailored to your role, and focused on results. Our Best Media Training Course is trusted by CEOs, spokespeople, experts and creatives across the UK and beyond.

We don’t believe in formulaic training. Every course is led by award-winning producers and media experts with a background in national TV and news. You’ll learn how the media really works – from the inside – and how to use interviews to your advantage.

A standout tip from our course: never go into an interview “to inform.” You go in to influence. That means identifying your key messages in advance, preparing memorable soundbites, and bridging from questions to answers with control and authenticity.

We teach a technique called "message sandwiching" – starting with a confident statement, giving a short supporting example, then repeating your key point. It helps you stay on track and gives the journalist exactly what they need – clean, concise quotes.

We also cover crisis communication – how to protect your reputation when the story turns negative. This includes how to stay calm under pressure, avoid being misquoted, and communicate transparency without exposing your organisation to unnecessary risk.

Whether it’s a primetime broadcast, podcast guest spot or internal media piece, our course prepares you to speak with clarity, credibility and composure.

Media training is about learning how to communicate well in the spotlight. It’s not just for celebrities or politicians. In fact, it’s increasingly important for business leaders, brand spokespeople, and anyone who might need to represent their company in the media.

At its heart, media training is about helping you speak with clarity, confidence, and control. That could be during a TV appearance, a radio interview, a podcast, or even a live social media stream. It helps you understand what journalists want, how to frame your message, and how to stay composed under pressure.

A good media trainer will help you prepare for different types of questions — from the friendly to the challenging. You’ll learn how to keep answers concise, how to land key points, and how to avoid common pitfalls that can derail your message.

It’s not about learning a script. It’s about knowing how to speak in your own voice, while staying on message. The best media appearances are the ones that feel authentic. And that takes practice.

If you're representing your brand or business in public, media training can give you the tools to do it with impact and authority.
