Being a new hn9 presenter

So, January 21 and 22 we will be seeing many auditions from some of you who want to be hectic presenters so I thought I'd give you guys some advice and tips seeing as I was you about a year and a half ago...

 

1) The most important thing I have learned about tv presenting is that you should always be yourself and NEVER fake a character. TV doesn't lie and it's very obvious if you are trying to hard.

2) be humble. Being a presenter is not about making a lot of noise and being a deva. The panel will want to see that you truly can do the job well and not that you can outshine someone else.

3) Be nice to the people you meet - you never know who they might be in the audition process - they could put in a good word for you.

4) Be calm. Yes, it may be stressful to audition and it may be your first audition for some of you, but just be calm - the nerves will give you the excitement you need to make it.

5) Smile! A good smile can make some people's day and being a presenter is about making people happy. The panel also wants to see your pearly whites.

6) come prepared. Know what you are going to say and be confident about it.

7) don't be shy.

8) Dress your best for the show. After all I am not the best dressed person but people will look to you for their fashion tips.

9) breeeeaaath! Don't hyperventilate and collapse. We don't bite.

10) finally, trust that you have what it takes and bring your best shot! I was a young radio DJ who knew nothing and I made it, so trust that you have what it Takes, because chances are that you DO!

 

Good luck to all of you who are auditioning. I will be there supporting you all so come say hello first to calm the nerves.

 

Till my next blog, 

 

Peace out!

That list can go on forever... I am inspired by all things Africa! Music makes me happy, Humour and laughter get me excited, one of the biggest things is people- I am energised and given all inspiration from people and I love the contact, God also keeps me grounded and is my inspiration, and finally talking, dancing and meeting interesting people inspires me...
