West-end star Robin Mills has been working with us at The Presenter Studio as he makes the move from stage to screen.

After treading the boards in loads of big shows, including Priscilla Queen of The Desert, Robin now has TV Presenting in his sights.

Having spent 2 days on our Fast Track course Robin was able to put together a brilliant tape to showcase his personality and energy which should help him achieve the next stage in his plan for world domination!

After taking delivery of his taster tape he said “the tape is super slick! I LOVE it!!! Thank you SO much for all your help with it.”

Standing ovations all night long for Robin!

We recently had the good fortune of launching a brand new Saturday night BBC 1 TV series called Pitch Battle.  It was a singing contest to find the nations best vocal group or choir.  And our very own Gareth was the Series Producer of the show - so oversaw the whole creative process from the hiring of the judges to the writing of Mel's script to the Producing of the judges.  

Gareth Malone and Kelis were hired as two of the judging panel.  This was Gareth Malone's first outing into Saturday night TV, and it was also Kelis' first time as a judge on TV.  Both were fantatsic to work with.

And Mel was a Producer's dream.  She is such a lovely and friendly presenter - passionate abot what she does and just a delight to work with.  No wonder she has done well in her career, and we are sure she will continue to do well in the future.  

Another great progression for Rylan Clark, a cleint of The Presenter Studio as he has been doing his own quiz show for ITV daytime.  

Quizes are a hard thing to get right for daytime and they can take years to develop.  But if you get it right they can run and run so for a presenter to land their own one it can be great news!  

Here's what The Sun had to say about Rylan's quiz: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2747361/babushka-rylan-clark-neal-the-chase-itv/

It's always nice to get some good news - well this week Leon managed to pick up and NTA award for Gogglebox on Channel 4. What's great is that these awards are all voted for by the public.

Awards are a nice cherry on top of things - but like we always say, the key to success in this business is hard work and getting yourself out there.

So - keep up the good work and we look forward to sharing your news soon. 

Keep an eye on the twitter for all the latest from us too - lots of excitng presenter news in the pipeline for 2017...

Our very own Gareth worked on the first 2 series of Strictly Come Dancing, and his first job on the show was the find and cast the panel of judges.  At the time The X Factor had their panel of judges - all well-known names on ITV big money deals.  So it was a tall order to find personalities for the BBC who were going to make an impact...

Ballroom dancing is not a maintream subject - until Strictly Come Dancing came along (and the movie Strictly Ballroom) and it was seen as elitist and old-fashioned.  So what Gareth wanted to do was to find new and fresh voices in the world of dance to judge the show.  Who are the good characters out there, who all share a common love - dance?  

Gareth had heard of Arlene but have never met her, and as soon as he called her in for a meeting they got on so well. She is one of the kindest and genuine people you'd meet.  She's a woman who is well-respected and feared in the dance world (as she doesn't suffer fools in the rehearsal room!) and this is what Gareth wanted to capture on TV - a woman who was passionate about her subject and anything less than your best is just not good enough. 

A panel needs light and shade to work, so we wanted to find someone with a fun personality, but someone who was also credible.  Bruno and Arlene knew each other of old, and they had an instant chemistry which is always helpful.  And so they worked well with each other.

Then next we needed to find someone who was a bit more straight talking.  Someone who will at times create a bit of a drama off the dance floor.  Craig fitted the bill, and instantly hit it off with the rest of the team.

Len is the real expert - he's the man who lives and breathes the ballroom world, and his expertise was crutial to the authenticity of the series.

Once we found our 4 judges Gareth then worked with them on finding their own voices, how to work as a team and as individuals and how to create a show within a show when Bruce went over to talk to them.  It worked and the panel are a big success.  

So who will be Len's replacement as the new Strictly Come Dancing judge?  Well we'd love to see Arlene go back, but if that doesn't happen we have an eye on a client of ours who is already the talk of the press in the UK.  Here's the showreel we did for him in our private 1 to 1 presenter training.  See what you think!  And comment below...
