I LOVE HOW THE CONTENTS ARE BEING SO SIMPLE AND THE FACTS THAT THE VIDEOS ARE SO BRIEF AND SHORT
By Mark Gunston on 2/21/2024
So far it all seems like good common sense. However, the tutor presents very clearly and is a good role model.
By Christiaan Oranje on 1/5/2024
I love it, it's inspiring, and it is encouraging that the video clips are each sooo short. Talking about sound bites ... Thanks TJ.
By Olivier Fontaine on 5/10/2023
No any text, not enough dynamic and usefull. I followed more than 15 Udemy formation and thiq one is really a bad one.
By Joe Santiago on 6/11/2022
I really enjoyed this course. The program in media offered me momentum to continue studies in this field. I would like to see more of TJ's videos and share his expertise: Announcing, how to refine one's voice, what to practice with voice training. How to write a script. Where can I obtain script examples? Also I am interested in podcasting. Will TJ cover some topics on podcasting? Thank you so much!

Excellent trainer and expert of the field, T.J. Walker is powerful and great in passing enthusiasm for excercise and you see immediate results if you do what he asks. Excellent indeed, highly recommended. Thanks T.J. your time is really valuable.
By Daryl Pillay on 2/18/2020
TJ Walker's training is really good. I am a radio presenter and even though this course seemed to be more focused on a person going for an interview there are tips that will definitely improve my presentation skills
By Mechele on 12/14/2019
This is a course specifically for someone who is going to do an interview or be on a radio show.
By Maia KoZ on 8/1/2016
I'm sorry, but this was way more basic than the topic titles suggested. I was looking for real tools of the trade. This was more of a "So you wanna be on radio? Here's a glimpse!" I don't mean to be glib about it. It's just that I have books that say the same thing. Most people with a heart for radio -whether they've done it before or not - picked up most of what was said here, just by being an avid listener - to radio and people. - Sorry.
