Course Description and Curriculum Outline:

Being on camera and being interviewed is not something that many of us have experienced or have had an opportunity to practice and we are understandably nervous and not as at ease as we’d like to be in the beginning. My media training creates a practice and training space for you to polish your media skills from the comfort of your own home.
If you are working or have worked with a publicist, there are gaps in what they provide, for example setting up interviews without providing any kind of media training for their clients. My training covers this gap and is also for authors who are acting as their own publicist.

This class is very timely for the world we’re living in now, with everything being done virtually on Zoom and will allow you to become more confident, polished and camera ready. All videos will be sent via the free website (up to 2GB in size files) WeTransfer to UBDCreative@Hotmail.com,
