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.

In today’s digital-first world, media opportunities can arise fast – and they don’t always happen face-to-face. Whether you’re asked to join a live podcast, a Zoom interview, or a broadcast via Teams, the ability to present yourself well on camera is vital. Our Media Training Course Online is designed to help professionals deliver clear, confident and compelling media performances from anywhere in the world.

This virtual course mirrors our in-person coaching, with one major difference: we train you in the exact environment you’ll appear in. That means practising on Zoom, learning where to look on screen, managing your setup, lighting and background, and mastering eye-line for maximum impact.

A common mistake people make online is staring at themselves on the screen, rather than the camera. We help you reposition your gaze, so you appear confident, present and trustworthy. We also teach how to manage nerves and think on your feet – essential for handling tough questions or unexpected turns.

Our online media training covers everything from messaging and key soundbites to body language, voice control and crisis comms. The format is flexible – we offer one-to-one sessions or group training depending on your needs.

Clients often say this course transforms not just how they perform on screen, but how they feel. With the right training, even the most camera-shy professionals can develop a warm, authentic and authoritative media presence – all without leaving home.

Public speaking is one of the most valuable skills in business, yet it's also one of the most feared. Our public speaking and presentation course is designed to help you overcome nerves and learn how to connect with any audience.

The fear of speaking often comes from uncertainty – what to say, how to say it, and whether people will listen. That’s why our training focuses on preparation and confidence. We help you build structure into your talk, so you always know where you’re going. We coach you to breathe well and use your voice with energy, not volume.

One useful tip is to practice your opening out loud, multiple times. Your first 30 seconds matter the most – that’s when the audience decides if they’ll pay attention. A strong start, with clarity and eye contact, sets the tone for everything that follows.

We also explore how to deal with nerves in the moment. Instead of trying to “get rid” of them, we show you how to channel nervous energy into positive performance. Confidence isn’t about pretending you’re not nervous – it’s about performing well in spite of it.

Leaders are expected to communicate vision, drive change and influence others – often with little formal training in how to actually present well. That’s where our presentation skills for leaders course comes in. It’s about more than just what you say. It’s about how you lead the room.

Great leadership starts with presence. One simple but powerful technique is to pause before you speak. It builds gravitas, shows control, and instantly makes the audience listen. We also coach leaders to be aware of posture and movement – standing still when making a key point, and using purposeful gestures to emphasise ideas.

We also explore how to structure content for maximum impact. Leaders often overwhelm people with data. Instead, we teach how to lead with the “why”, and how to use storytelling to bring strategy to life. Storytelling isn’t soft – it’s one of the most powerful leadership tools you can use.

Whether you lead a team of five or five hundred, our course will help you engage people with more clarity, connection, and confidence.

A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works when it comes to communication. That’s why our bespoke presentation skills course is designed around you – your goals, your challenges, your audience. Whether you’re presenting at a team meeting, client pitch, or industry conference, the way you show up can make all the difference.

We start by understanding your natural communication style and building from there. Our training helps you find your voice, clarify your message, and connect with authenticity. A bespoke course means you’ll get specific help where it counts – whether that’s body language, storytelling, or how to handle Q&A with ease.

One key tip we always teach is to avoid starting with slides. Build your narrative first. What’s your message? What do you want the audience to feel or do? Once you know that, visuals become a support tool, not the presentation itself.

With our tailored coaching, you’ll walk away with tools that work for your personality, not a rehearsed script. We can also give you access to filming and playback, so you can see the transformation in real time.

When you're asked to speak for thirty minutes, the goal isn’t to simply talk for thirty minutes. The goal is to deliver something of value.

One of the biggest mistakes speakers make is feeling they need to use every second they’ve been given. They go on too long. They repeat points. They fill space just for the sake of it. But audiences don’t measure the quality of a talk by its length. They remember how it made them feel. What it made them think. And whether it gave them something useful.

If you can land your message in twenty minutes instead of thirty, do it. If you can leave the audience with one great idea instead of five forgettable ones, that’s a win. Brevity shows confidence. It tells your audience you respect their time. It leaves space for questions or discussion. And it helps your key points stand out.

It also helps you stay in control. The more you ramble, the more likely you are to lose your thread or drift off course. By keeping things focused, you keep the energy in the room where it should be.

At Presenter Studio, we teach speakers how to structure talks with clarity and impact. Our training helps you make your message land – in less time, with more confidence. Take a look at the course here:  https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training

Your body is part of your message. Whether you’re standing on a stage or presenting in a meeting room, how you move and hold yourself has a huge impact on how your audience sees you.

A strong physical presence starts with having a central place. This is your home position. It’s where you deliver your core points and where you naturally return to between moments. Standing grounded in one place communicates clarity and confidence. You don’t need to pace. You don’t need to fill the space. Stillness can be powerful.

That said, movement can help if it’s intentional. You might walk to one side of the stage to make a new point or to involve a different part of the audience. You might move to the other side for contrast or to tell a story. Keep it to two or three main locations. Movement should add energy, not create distraction.

If there’s a podium, don’t feel trapped behind it. Consider standing just beside it instead. This small shift can help break down barriers and add warmth to your delivery. The podium can sometimes act as a shield. Stepping out from behind it makes you feel more present and more human.

What you want to avoid is drifting. That means wandering around without purpose or fidgeting on the spot. It breaks focus and dilutes your message. Practice using your body to support what you’re saying, not take attention away from it.

Facing a media interview can feel daunting, especially if it’s live. But with the right preparation, you can feel confident and ready to handle whatever comes your way.

The first step is to get clear on your message. Before you go into any interview, ask yourself what the takeaway should be for the audience. What do you want them to remember? What impression do you want to leave? From there, you can build short, focused answers that deliver impact.

Next, consider how your answers might sound out loud. Speak them aloud, not just in your head. Practice turning points into short, conversational soundbites. The media loves clarity and brevity. Think about examples or personal stories that support your message. People connect with stories far more than statistics.

It’s also important to anticipate the questions. Some may be easy. Others may be more probing. Think about what you’re likely to be asked and how you’ll respond. If a difficult subject comes up, stay calm. Acknowledge the point, then return to your key message.

Lastly, your tone and body language matter just as much as your words. Keep eye contact, sit with relaxed energy, and speak at a steady pace. Even on radio, your voice will reflect how you’re feeling. Calm, confident energy builds trust.

At Presenter Studio, we help clients feel media-ready, whatever the situation.

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. At Presenter Studio, we’ve coached CEOs, founders, and on-screen talent to build confidence and stay in control.

Whether you're preparing for a TV interview, a press day, or an online video, one of the biggest challenges is how to come across naturally on camera. It can feel unfamiliar. Formal. Sometimes even intimidating. But with a few simple shifts, you can take control and deliver your message with warmth, clarity, and confidence.

The first tip is to treat the camera as a friend. Instead of seeing it as a lifeless machine or a judging eye, imagine you're speaking to someone you know. Someone you like. This instantly softens your body language and helps your voice feel more conversational. The audience may be behind the lens, but if you speak as if they’re right in front of you, they’ll feel more connected to what you’re saying.

Second, look to deformalise the space. Traditional settings can sometimes make us stiff. Whether it's a corporate boardroom or a sterile studio, try to bring a sense of ease into the environment. This might be through how you sit, how you breathe, or simply the tone you use. Speak as if you’re having a conversation rather than delivering a speech. You’re not reciting lines — you’re sharing a message.

And finally, know your message, not your script. Trying to memorise word for word can trip you up and make you sound robotic. Instead, get clear on the points you want to make. If you know your message inside out, you’ll be able to adapt in the moment and sound more human.

At Presenter Studio, we’ve worked with some of the UK’s top talent to help them shine in interviews and on screen.
