The Performer in Mass Media: Connecting with Television and Online Audiences

The Performer in Mass Media: The Performer in Mass Media: Connecting with Television and Online Audiences, Second Edition, is a concise guide written by two individuals who have been there--under the lights and in front of the camera. Its no-nonsense approach offers readers practical advice about on-camera performance, including key aspects of voice, movement, communication and appearance. It gives them a foundation for working in the studio, in the field, and in front of an audience; it is ideal for media performers of any type, including those who work as reporters, company spokespersons, or community advocates. Recommendations include how to properly position oneself for a shot, how to improve articulation, how to deal with stress and how to best perform on the Internet. Try-It-Out exercises help students put what they learned into practice and prepare to be on camera. Key terms are bolded in the chapters and are collected in a book-end Glossary for easy reference.
