Course Description
Journalism for Broadcast. Imagine appearing on a network newscast as a reporter or anchor and you look as confident, poised and articulate as any childhood idol you grew up watching. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you can look and sound exactly the way you want when you are conducting interviews or anchoring a newscast?
In this On-Camera Skills for TV Reporters and News Anchors Journalism course you will learn the following:
* How to look comfortable, confident and relaxed on TV
* How to sound conversational
* How to rehearse using video, and how to critique yourself
* How to make constant on-air improvements
*How to prepare for broadcast journalism
This TV journalism course is delivered primarily through spoken lectures. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.
The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.
This TV journalism course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.
TJ Walker has been coaching and training people on their presentation and TV journalism skills for 30 years. Now, through the power of Udemy's online platform, he is able to give you the same high quality training that he gives in person to CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and Presidents of countries. Only you can now receive the training at a tiny fraction of the normal fee for in-person training.
How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future media presentations in your life.
You can begin improving your media presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your media presentation skills are not up to high standards. Please enroll today.

IT WAS EXTEREMLY DIFFICUL TO FIND THE ACTUAL COURSE. I KEEP WATCHING THE ADS. FINALLY TODAY I FOUND THE ACTUAL COURSE. IT WOULD BE BETTER TO JUST BE ABLE TO GO TO THE UDEMY PROGRAM. LOOK UP THE COURSE AND TAKE IT.
By JOHN VIANNEY JANDAYAN on 10/21/2023
It was an amazing course. However, I wish there were other tips on how to boost confidence and reading ability aside from just making oneself comfortable and relaxed. Nonetheless, it was brief but straight to the point.

I think the key to this course is to listen to what TJ has to say – there is not argument that he has the knowledge that I need to learn, he really knows his stuff. What did I get out of this course? Well, I have learned a lot and still have a lot more to learn. The course has provided me with the courage to upload my first YouTube video and yes – it’s terrible, but, as TJ says: “…the more you do it the easier it gets”, and let’s be honest – it’s better to make a start, than procrastinate on whether you’ll do it or not. The reason I took this course is more for business videos, to enable me to pass my knowledge onto others and this course has been helpful on that basis. It's also good to be able to jump back into the course when needed. Thank you very much TJ for putting this course together.

IT was a little different than what I needed (I do not use a visual aid while doing interviews and reviews). However, it had some great information that can be applied to general use and assist in growth.

As always, it is a pleasure to watch such comprehensive, exciting, and motivating videos of TJ Walker. I also had the pleasure of taking his other courses on Personal Development and Media Training. I enjoyed this course, and of course, I will be watching it repeatedly.

it was better than i imagine and what i loved most was the aspect where we were allowed to practice. what i would want to be added to this course would be a section where we can send our videos for open critic .

I was recently hired as a multimedia journalist in DC and this course has helped me appear natural on camera. I had to do a few standups and fellow reporters thought that I had a lot of experience on camera because I was "relaxed" and "natural." I had been on camera only a little bit, but this course helped me get very comfortable and do things right. I highly recommend it.
By Dan Janal on 7/8/2015
I took this course so I could get into the mind of the reporter. That's not what this course is about. It is about how to look great on camera. You'll learn valuable tips about how to use a teleprompter and look natural on TV. I'm glad I took this course. I know my YouTube videos will be much better; and when I do go on camera as a guest expert, I'll be more natural. Thanks, TJ! Dan Janal President PR LEADS
