Introduction

1. TALK SHOW AS A GENRE OF MODERN MASS CULTURE

Talk show is one of the types of television or radio programs, the name of which, translated into Russian, means “conversational performance”. As a rule, the following people take part in a talk show: the host (or hosts), specially invited people (politicians, artists, experts, etc.) and viewers. The fashion for pro-Western talk shows came from the West during the period of perestroika and new thinking. Talk shows have become an indispensable part of television broadcasting on many channels and have gained great popularity. The main task of a talk show is to “capture” the viewer and instill in him the idea of ​​involvement in solving important government problems (political talk shows), everyday, cultural, musical or other issues. Talk shows often speculate on human instincts and feelings, such as: curiosity, excitement, aggression, etc. During the talk show process, various means of manipulating public opinion are actively used.

The talk show genre reveals themes of love and hate, power and money, victory and defeat, and, ultimately, life and death, that are understandable to any viewer. The persuasiveness and ambiguity of the characters, the realism of the plot - this is what ensured the talk show's incredible popularity. A talk show is a kind of template for situations and their solutions that arise with us.

The talk show genre is more entertaining than informational, and in the absence of audience monitoring is fraught with boredom and loss of focus. It should be noted that in some cases the term “talk show” refers to any “conversational” program, “for example, a round table conversation or a simple interview in the studio. Talk shows are distinguished by their extraordinary thematic and functional breadth of the genre variety.

Talk shows are always focused not only on communication, but also on therapy. It is assumed that in each program some, at least intermediate, solution to the problem posed will be proposed. Such programs have the potential to help break down common cultural fears and biases.

A characteristic feature of talk shows is that problems, regardless of their volume and complexity, are viewed as solvable. All situations in which a person finds himself have a way out. Sometimes this involves downplaying the seriousness of the issue, but this is not always the case. Talk shows tend to be didactic. They indicate moral guidelines, “good” and “evil” are spelled out quite clearly, and there is no doubt that in the end justice will triumph and vice will be punished.

2. TECHNOLOGY OF CONDUCTING A TALK SHOW

The direct form of a talk show is a debate, a discussion of any issue, in which invited specialists and random viewers take part. We can say that hosting any talk show requires:

* the presence of a current or relevant problem that sets the content of the conversation (questions and answers);

* talk show participants (hosts, talk show characters, viewers, experts);

* designing the venue for the event (art and music);

* rules of discussion (determining the time and methods of organizing communication, expressed in the existing scenario);

* logistics necessary for the implementation of the talk show.

Preparation includes the following steps:

1. Identification of the problem.

The survey reveals the difficulties experienced by the show's participants. A group of analysts identifies common problems.

2. Formulation of questions representing various aspects of the problem.

It is carried out in the form of a “brainstorming”.

3. Identifying polar points of view.

Conducted in the form of a public opinion poll among participants.

4. Identifying presenters and working with them to prepare the discussion.

5. Search for arguments.

A few days before the talk show, the hosts are tasked with selecting material (facts from life experience, literature, the media) that confirm their position.

6.Designing the audience.

Design options are preliminarily discussed, and the plan is implemented, which has received the approval of the majority.

Talk show technology.

1. Introducing participants to the topic of the talk show.

2. Repetition of the rules of discussion.

3. Identification of the problem of discussion.

4. Discussion of the problem based on previously formulated questions.

5. Summing up the discussion.

A solution to the problem cannot always be found, but the discussion will prompt the show participants and viewers to think and search for the truth.

6. Conducting reflection.

3. THE SKILL OF A TALK SHOW HOST

Among the roles involved in talk shows, a special place, of course, belongs to the host. As a rule, this is a well-known “media” person, whose individual style largely determines the image of the program. The dramaturgy of the show depends on it - the psychological atmosphere, escalating and defusing the situation, controlling the emotions of the audience. It sets the framework within which the conversation takes place: whether it will be a confidential conversation, a provocative show or an intellectual discussion. Hence the masks of the presenters: “showman”, “intellectual” or “empathetic”.

Talk shows that focus on discussing life stories appeal to the image of an “understanding” host who listens carefully to the guests' stories, demonstrates compassion, and encourages viewers to do so. More often these are women who communicate predominantly with a female audience. They strive to establish a confidential distance with viewers and turn television into a means of “personal” communication. The success and failure of a talk show often depends on how organically the program format and the host's image are combined. An indicator that these are, indeed, different types of talk shows can be served, in particular, by the speech behavior of the host, on which the intrigue and dynamics of the development of the storyline largely depend. It is the presenter who determines the form, quality and logic of the sequence of questions on the basis of which the discussion unfolds, sets the temperature of passions, and monitors order in the studio. Therefore, the communication strategies and tactics used by TV presenters are of particular interest for research.

Researchers believe that a talk show combines the essential features of interviews, discussions, games, and also centers around the personality of the host. The interaction between the form and its creator is primarily facilitated by the necessary personal qualities of the presenter: intelligence, resourcefulness, charm, humor, the ability to listen with interest, move plastically, etc. External circumstances are also significant: a specific place and strictly observed cyclicity, that is, regular repetition in the program, designed to arouse in the minds of the mass viewer a state of “impatiently waiting for a meeting.” The dramaturgy of a talk show is closely related to the question-and-answer basis of this genre. It is the form, quality, appearance and logic of the sequence of questions that determine the intrigue and dynamics of the development of the program’s storyline. The main questions are asked by the host, and different categories of talk show participants (heroes, experts, viewers, etc.) answer them. Depending on the task that the presenter sets at different stages of the program, he uses different types of questions.

The indispensable “components” of a talk show, in addition to the host, are the guests (“heroes”) - people who have become famous for something or are simply interesting for their actions, thoughts, and lifestyle. The presence of several dozen spectators in the studio is mandatory, and the presence of competent experts is also possible. Spectators are not always involved in the conversation; sometimes their participation is limited to applause, laughter, and exclamations of surprise - this creates a special atmosphere of publicity.

4. Script for the talk show “Talk about the main thing” on the topic: “Healthy lifestyle”

talk show host skill

Topic: "Healthy lifestyle"

Goal: to popularize a healthy lifestyle.

· use specific examples to explain the concept of “healthy lifestyle”.

· Promote sports activities.

Participants: students of the fourth, fifth, ninth and eleventh grades, school teachers, parents, guests.

Time: 50-60 minutes.

Progress of the event

The show's theme music plays. The presenter comes out.

I. Opening remarks:

Hello, dear friends: guys, dear parents, guests. Let's start the talk show "Talk about the main thing."

Humanity, knowing that each of us is given only one opportunity to live our life on planet Earth, has long been solving the problem of how to best live this life. Some make discoveries, others sing the best songs, others spend their entire lives alone with TV... And everyone is happy in their own way... as long as they are healthy. “Healthy lifestyle” - this phrase has been heard very often lately. We decided to talk about this too, choosing the topic for the talk show “Talking about the Main Thing.”

The heroes of our program are fourth grade children. We think that it is important for them to understand what a “Healthy Lifestyle” is: firstly, they are on the verge of a sharp change in school life: the transition to high school, and secondly, the most difficult, longest quarter of the year has just begun - III quarter.

A musical theme plays.

Presenter: Let’s find out the opinion of the children and the administration of our school, what is a “healthy lifestyle”?

II. A video with answers from students of different classes and the school principal is watched.

III. Performance by a class 4A folklore group.

Host: Our talk show was continued by a folklore group of fourth-graders. The great doctors of Ancient Rome considered gymnastics, walks, games, hardening with water and sun, diet, music and even loud reading to be the main means of strengthening human health. With this in mind, I would like to talk to the members of the folklore group:

· Do your classes make you feel good?

· Who at home continues to sing these songs?

· Who else has time to attend other leisure activities? Why do you manage to do everything?

Conclusion: any useful, interesting activity organizes a person, makes his life full and meaningful.

IV. Musical screensaver.

Host: The first heroine of the talk show will be an interesting person, a music teacher at our school and the leader of the folklore group A.V. Gorkunov. (Invited to the stage)

Question: What do you think is the connection between the words “music” and “health”? (We are talking about spiritual health)

Host: There are guys who combine two schools: educational and music.

I address my question to the mother of a student at our school, whose time is scheduled literally by the minute.

Question: Dear Elena Ivanovna, what gives such a rhythm to your daughter’s life?

Host: Katya Badak also studies at a music school. She will show what she has learned (a piece of music is performed on the piano).

Question: Can you call your life interesting and healthy?

Working with the hall:

Guys, raise the balloons and flags, those who attend music, art, and sports schools; mugs at the Palace of Creativity, who collects? Who has a hobby? Who finds their life interesting?

Are an interesting life and a healthy life similar concepts? Why?

Presenter: (Approaching the teacher in the hall)

Victoria Gennadievna, a primary school teacher, has almost no free time. She devotes all her time to her daughter’s hobby - classes at an art school.

Question: Victoria Gennadievna, maybe the whole family shouldn’t adapt to their daughter’s hobby? When do you manage to think about your own healthy lifestyle?

Conclusion: when a family is engaged in a common interesting activity, it becomes stronger and more friendly, and strong, healthy relationships are established in it.

V. Surprise from girls of class 4B (eco-fashion show).

Host: Yes, a hobby can be like that, the main thing is that it is fun, organizes, fills life with meaning, and distracts from the bad.

VI. Musical screensaver.

Host: Today we saw people who are happy to do something. But there are also families where they force their children to take up music, dancing, and sports to the detriment of the child’s health and studies. We will ask our school psychologist T.A. Tolmachev to express his opinion on this issue. (speech by a psychologist).

Host: When a person has a lot of free time, he tries to fill it as best he can: with TV, computer; Tempting bad habits appear.

Presenter (addressing the audience):

What are these habits?

What is their harm?

Conclusion: Before the talk show, a questionnaire about bad habits was administered to elementary school students. According to the results of the questionnaires, the children of our school, fortunately, did not try this, and we hope they will never try.

VII. Watching a video with a speech by T.G. Znamenshchikova, Deputy Director for Legal Affairs. (speech about maladapted school children).

Host: All the guys that Tamara Grigorievna spoke about, at your age, probably didn’t even think that they would be called “difficult”, “dysfunctional”. But they chose this life themselves, as did their families (these guys have problems in their families too). This is the easiest path in life, but also the most terrible and senseless.

VIII. Host: Keeping a healthy lifestyle in mind, it’s time to relax. I invite the guys from grade 4B to have a fun, active break with the audience.

IX. Host: What improves health more than physical education and sports? The benefits of active physical activity were first scientifically proven by scientist Sechenov in 1903, more than a hundred years ago.

A striking example of a passion for sports is the life of wonderful people:

· L.N. Even at the age of 82, Tolstoy did gymnastics every day, rode a horse every day for up to 20 km, skated in winter, and at the age of 70 overtook young people on ice. At the age of 65 he learned to ride a bicycle.

· A.S. Pushkin was perfectly built, with well-developed muscles, was an excellent gymnast, speed skater, boxer, shooter, chess player, and was considered the best fencer. Pushkin became the best swimmer in St. Petersburg. Following the example of commander Suvorov, he took cold baths and rubbed himself with snow in winter.

X. Musical screensaver.

Host: The next guest began hardening her son from early childhood. Natalya Nikolaevna, a primary school teacher, believes that hardening is the path to a healthy lifestyle (Natalya Nikolaevna’s story about hardening her son).

Presenter: We wish your baby and the whole family to be healthy.

XI. Musical screensaver.

Host: In the Vysochin family, everyone is an athlete. Their life is movement, sports, competitions, victories. The head of the family is Tatyana Vladimirovna, a physical education teacher.

Questions for the family:

· What did sport give to your family?

· Sergey, Nadya, what sport do you play? For what?

Sergei and Nadya Vysochin conduct a short physical exercise for the kids in the audience.

XII. Presenter (approaches the guest in the hall): Svetlana Nikolaevna Byalkovskaya had a passion for sports, and, in my opinion, the biggest mark on her life was left not by the sport itself, but by the coach - a bright personality. And this is also very important, since a good coach develops not only physical health, but also spiritual health.

Svetlana Nikolaevna, what sport did you play?

How many years?

What are your most vivid memories?

What wishes do you guys have?

Presenter: For the first year, the children of our school connected their lives with sports, playing in the basketball section.

Conversation with the guys:

Has your life changed?

Are you going to continue playing sports in the future?

XIII. Musical screensaver.

Host: The last hero of our talk show, or rather, heroes, is a family for which sport is life in the most literal sense of the word. In this family, most of the time you can hear conversations about the next relay race, about the right start, about training before important competitions. This is the Berestnev family. For them, sport is a professional activity, not a hobby.

The last hero of "Conversation about the Main Thing" is Alexander Berestnev.

If you look back, would you have started your sports life again?

Is it worth dedicating your life to sports?

What would you like to wish the guys?

XIV. Performance by the theatrical propaganda team "The Adventures of Kolobok".

XV. Musical screensaver.

Presenter's summary:

Socrates was once asked: “What is most valuable and important for a person in life - wealth or fame?” The great sage replied: “Neither wealth nor fame makes a person happy. A healthy beggar is happier than a sick king!”

Good health is one of the main sources of a person’s happiness and joy, his invaluable wealth, which accumulates slowly and with difficulty, but which can be quickly and easily lost.

Accumulate and take care of your health, learn this from the people around you; do what you love, spend every minute of your life wisely, for the benefit of yourself and others!

Our talk show is over. Thank you to all guests and participants!

Conclusion

The rapid growth in demand and prevalence of talk shows makes many people think about the reasons and prerequisites for its appearance, content features, and possible trends in the development of this genre. During the research, a definition of the concept of “talk show” was given. Talk shows combine elements of the usual relationship between a person and media with new ways of dealing with the virtual environment (interactivity, ease of entry into the virtual space, continuity of communication). They consolidate traditional ways of defining the norm, but at the same time they test freer styles of life and pose new problems, one of which is the blurring of the boundaries between what is private and what is publicly visible.

In this lesson we will talk about the skill of the presenter who will be in the frame of your film. To become a high-level presenter, like those we see on television, is, of course, quite difficult. It all depends only on you: there are no ready-made template recipes on how to make a successful career as a presenter for yourself. For some, it is enough to learn a little, perhaps even take our courses, while others will have to study a lot, study and study. To become a presenter, you need three main qualities: basic knowledge, which you can take from these courses; a lot of perseverance and work, work on oneself and, of course, luck. But even this is not enough; add additional requirements for the presenter. You must be able to make films or stories from different areas: historical, political, sports, etc. Therefore, you must be: a) erudite and, of course, it is very desirable, have an appropriate education; b) the presenter must have the skills of such professions as a journalist, psychologist, artist; c) the presenter must be relaxed, resourceful, decisive, curious, energetic, have a good memory, be able to improvise, be able to control his emotions, have a good artistic memory, with the help of which he must be able to hold the attention of the audience, and also have a good sense of humor. It’s not for nothing that most TV programs are hosted by former KVN team players. The presenter’s responsibilities also include the ability to interview some real hero. But more on this in the next lessons.

To all the above qualities of the presenter, one more thing must be added - this is a photo- and cinematic appearance. Therefore, if you don’t have one, don’t immediately fall into despair: go to the hairdresser, go to a clothing store, it wouldn’t hurt to go to some fitness club. If you speak the text behind the scenes, then you may not need photo- and film-genicity. But in this case, you will have increased demands on the pronunciation that we talked about, and you will also need a clearer and more attractive voice timbre.

The most important thing is that you must know (whether you are on- or off-screen) that the presenter is the face of any film in the eyes of the viewer. It is by the skill of the presenter that the viewer can evaluate your film even more than by the informational or directorial part of the film. The main thing that is required of a novice presenter is to learn to deal with their fears of a video camera and even a microphone. Don't be afraid to act, don't think that someone thinks badly of you. We always have plenty of incompetent critics who have achieved nothing in their own lives. But in order to stop being afraid of the camera, you must be able to clearly speak the text in advance, understand the topic of your film in advance, in general, be completely prepared in everything, even if you are filming in a studio or doing a report in some other place. Of course, in the future, with hard work you will gain experience, you will easily be adapted to both video shooting and sound recording.

This concludes the lesson, see you in the next one.

Zoya Smirnova, 36 years old.
Deputy head of a bank division: It has become easier for me to communicate with people and understand myself

All her life Zoya lived in the world of numbers - she graduated from a physics and mathematics school, then from the Faculty of Cybernetics at MEPhI. Zoya's job, although prestigious, is quite boring. Meanwhile, this creative girl dreamed of trying herself at a theater school.

She had two goals: to learn not to be afraid to speak in public (to relieve tension) and to communicate with new interesting people. Zoya often has to speak in public at work. And she decided to seriously improve this skill at the Benefis theater school. And meeting people from a creative environment was necessary for her.

“I received a huge cloud of positive emotions. It became easier for me to communicate with people and understand myself. However, now I can’t calmly watch films and plays. I always evaluate the actors’ performances from a different angle. It inspired me to communicate more openly with others, that’s for sure,” - Zoya admits.

In addition, she became friends with all the students in the group and the teacher. So, Zoya achieved her goal and even managed to realize a little more than planned.

Elizaveta Fedkina, 20 years old.
Designer (artist).

All her life she loves to be the center of attention, she has always participated in all sorts of school skits. Friends tell her very often: “Well, you’re an actress!” “I thought I’d go for fun and forget it, and as a result I’ll go to theater school this year, because nothing gives me so much pleasure and doesn’t inspire me,” says Lisa.

What happened to Elizabeth in "Benefit"? “I feel more confident, I love to brag about the fact that I go to the Studio. My friends were delighted with our graduation performance, they still remember my homeless person. The classes seem to be held in a playful way, but at the same time the majority of the group is making obvious progress,” here Lisa has these impressions.

Ivan Zharikov, 25 years old.
Marketer.

Why did you decide to come to study at Benefis?

In general, I really like going to the movies and theaters. I always admired the performances of good actors, and at one point I became incredibly interested in what it was like to be on stage and perform. Will I be able to? I immediately decided to find out and went to study. I didn’t expect that it would captivate me so much, now I can’t stop and don’t want to!)

What did you learn at Benefit?

The most important thing I learned was to express my emotions, feel them, control them. And this skill allows you to live much brighter and enjoy it!

How has your life changed after taking acting classes? What inspired you to do acting?

Acting inspired me to be my authentic self. No matter how strange it may sound, playing on stage, playing roles, and actions that are not typical for ordinary life help me better understand and feel myself and other people.

It’s no secret that without constant training in sports, music, and, in general, in any field, you cannot achieve much success. And the profession of a presenter is no exception. I suggest sharing your experience of how he trains himself before going out to the audience, what exercises he uses to improve his professional skills. Here)

Personally, I am interested in the language apparatus) clarity of speech, well-produced voice, etc. It is clear that teachers do this and that many people study this for years, but there is not enough time for additional training. So I would like to know who can tell you what) thanks in advance!

Kozhevnikov Alexey Expert

I go to the gym to keep in shape and train my legs. You have to run a lot around the site during the festival, and the next day your legs hurt. In addition, I read the classics in search of interesting sayings, aphorisms, poems, thoughts. That is, I train my head.

Petrushevsky Konstantin Professional

At any stage of development and professionalism, you definitely need to use the simplest and most well-known exercises: tongue twisters, rhymes, complex sentences, chants, etc. In any case, they are necessary! Having worked on radio for more than five years and on stage for more than fifteen years, I use these techniques!

Petrushevsky Konstantin Professional

Observing your colleagues also helps a lot! Any levels! I always watch with interest the work of other presenters at various events! Insanely interesting and entertaining! Especially when you like the work!

Didenko Mikhail Expert

Let's look at the word "leading". The presenter is the person who leads people either according to the holiday scenario or to a bright future. Those. the leader must be such a person. who people would trust, a respected and authoritative person, interesting and competent, knowledgeable, a good psychologist and an excellent improviser who knows how to play out different situations, etc. So what skills and knowledge are needed? It seems to me like a whole complex. And if we also turn to the etymology of the word: “Leading” is the root of the “Vedas”. There is a very interesting book of the Veda - what knowledge means. Hence the words - knowledgeable - knowledgeable, sorcerer - an expert, leading - a knowledgeable person, taste - to know the taste or something, taste, tell - tell, righteous - living according to the Vedas, and the like. So - the presenter is not just a conversational artist. I would bring this profession into a separate caste - actors-psychologists - whose name is the hosts of events. So what should you learn? Let's begin. I will list them out of order. 1. Speech scene, 2. Acting skills, 3. Psychology of communication, 4. NLP techniques 5. Musical education, desirable mastery of a musical instrument (including voice) 6. Philological education - knowledge of the rules of the Russian language and impeccable command of it, reading books to develop vocabulary and correct construction of phrases 7. Rhetoric This is the minimum that is necessary. All this literature is there. You can read a book by the good GITIS teacher Kokorin about the Stanislavsky system, you can read Khabard and Carnegie, the textbook Logic of the Speech Scene and a textbook on rhetoric, etc. Good luck.

If you have never performed on stage or hosted an event before, then it’s not easy to become an event host right away, but if you really want it, you’ll be able to do it over time. Necessarily it will work! In the meantime, I offer a few rules that will help you get closer to your goal:

1. Learn from the experience of other presenters! Watch and remember how other presenters work at weddings, at conferences and on TV. If you live in a big city, try to get to the filming of TV programs and concerts where TV filming is taking place. If this is not possible, watch TV programs in which the hosts work, such as concerts, music awards, talk shows, game shows, quizzes, etc. Choose presenters, famous or not, whose style of presentation you like, and at first try to work in the same manner. But be sure to develop and develop your style as soon as you feel more confident on stage;
2. Read and re-read (!) literature that will help you. I have not yet found a full-fledged textbook for leading events in Russian, but there are several in English, I like this one, by two Australian authors: Pete Miller and Ron Tacchi, “Upfront in Control”. I also recommend checking out these books: Dan Rosenberg, “The Book on Hosting How. Not to Suck as an Emcee!” (English.); Nina Zvereva, “I speak - they listen to me. Lessons of practical rhetoric"; Alexander Shumovich, “Great events. Technology and practice of event management"; Sergey Volchuk, “Corporate Holiday”; Veronica Dupre, “How to Become an Actor”; Sergey Rebrik, “Presentation”; Malcolm Kushner, “Public Speaking for Dummies”; Radislav Gandapas, “101 tips for the speaker”; Victor Billevich, “School of wit or how to learn to joke”; B.D. Gaimakova and others, “The Mastery of Broadcast Performance.” I would be grateful if you recommend other books to me.
3. Be sure to prepare for every performance! Find out as much as possible about the customer, about the people with whom you will work, this will be very useful to you. Prepare and work with a script or script plan. If the customer did not provide a scenario plan, prepare a scenario plan yourself. During a meeting with a customer, simply draw up a schedule for the time of the event, indicating what the presenter does and says, and what event occurs at the event - this is the scenario plan. Usually a script plan is quite enough, but at the beginning of your career it makes sense to write out the entire script with all the words, but it is advisable not to read everything “on paper”, but to use the script only as a hint. Be sure to rehearse, always at home and, and this is very desirable or even mandatory, on the site before the start of the event in the presence of at least a small audience. But not the guests of the event, but the organizers, restaurant employees, technicians, artists, etc.
4. Gain personal experience! Start training at every opportunity: host whatever you can - weddings, birthdays, other family holidays, perform in amateur performances, just tell jokes and stories to friends during feasts and meetings. Gradually move on to professional event management (work for money) if you have an interest in becoming a professional;
5. Carry out quality control! Record yourself on video (ask friends and acquaintances, ask the organizers for recordings, in the end, hire a video operator yourself) and be sure to watch how you performed, let your friends and relatives watch, listen to the comments and do better next time.

Dan Rosenberg in the book “Textbook of Entertaining. How to avoid failure as an event host!” (Dan Rosenberg, “The Book on Hosting. How Not to Suck as an Emcee!”) reminds that “you have to remember one thing every time you go on stage: you are not the star of the show! You are the most important part of the show, but you are not the star!”

“Public speaking for dummies”

• The audience wishes you success...
• You have knowledge that is valuable to your audience. ...
• The audience does not know about your fears. ...
• Before you are individuals who are no worse than you.” This is true! As a rule, the audience perceives you better than you perceive yourself, and your excitement may simply not be noticeable.

“I speak - they listen to me. Lessons in practical rhetoric"

Nina Zvereva in her book correctly notes the importance of self-confidence for any presenter or person speaking in public: “For politicians and showmen, self-confidence is normal!”

Here are some tips from Radislav Gandapas on overcoming the fear of public speaking from the book:

1. “Visit the performance venue in advance, get used to it,” “Come to the audience before those you will perform in front of,” I recommend just going to the venue in advance to catch your breath and rehearse;
2. “Hold the talking points in your hands or pocket...”, as a rule, the presenter can use a tablet with a script or script plan. But it is important to use such a lifesaver correctly: try not to read everything word for word (this does not apply to the positions and surnames of those you represent) and not shield yourself from the audience with a tablet;
3. “Find a way to get as much information as possible about the composition of the audience,” this can and should be done both before and during the event;
4. “Place good friends in the hall or get to know one of the participants before the performance,” that is, it makes sense to be open and talk with the participants of the event, those with whom you have met can help you in your work;
5. “Rehearse at least three times,” preferably already on the site where you will perform;
6. “Before the performance, move actively,” “Watch your breathing, it should be deep, rhythmic and calm,” it’s easier to normalize breathing with calm, deep inhalations and exhalations, and if there is no room to actively move, just tense and relax the muscles several times, especially the neck and shoulders;
7. “Never use alcohol or sedatives.”

“For the sake of the radio. How to become a popular presenter"

Natalya Yartseva in her book gives several recommendations on how to “become a good event host”:

1. Write a script. “To do this, you need to meet with customers, find out what they expect from the holiday, their tastes and ideas”;
2. Rehearse your speech. “Exercises in front of a mirror are as old as the hills, but that doesn’t make them any less effective. Instead of a mirror, you can use your grandmother, brothers and even pets...”;
3. Before the event, get acquainted with several employees of the company in which you are holding the event, so that later you do not “feel embarrassed in front of a new audience”;
4. Don't take the action too seriously;
5. Maintain visual contact with the audience;
6. Be confident. “To do this, control your posture, stand straight.” It is advisable to exclude “fussiness, nervousness, shifting eyes and shallow, rapid breathing”;
7. Present only verified facts. “It is better to clarify the name of the head of the transport department seven times in order to announce his speech, than to make a mistake once”;
8. Don't go overboard with competitions;
9. Never announce a joke;
10. Avoid familiarity.

How to become a TV presenter(s) and/or radio presenter(s)?

Nobody can answer this question for you for sure. At a minimum, start going to castings for any roles in television projects (you can start searching for castings on the Internet, then try acting agencies and companies producing TV programs), and look for a job on television in any position to gain experience. Collect a portfolio (video!) and never be afraid of rejections (there will be a lot of them, but you need them just survive!), persistently pursue your goal, especially if you are sure that being on television is your destiny! Television presenters are often TV and radio journalists, film and theater actors, professional models, and sometimes graduates of television schools, of which there are now several in Moscow alone. I don't know anything about radio. In both cases, I recommend looking at these books: B.D. Gaimakova and others, “The Mastery of Broadcast Performance”; Evgeny Enin “The Tao of the Conversation Program”; Konstantin Gavrilov “How to make a news story”; Natalya Yartseva “For the sake of the radio. How to become a popular presenter"; S.A. Muratov, “Television communication in and behind the scenes”; L.D. Azarkh, “Keys to the air 2. Fundamentals of mastery: Experience, practical advice.” And in English: Janet Trewin, “Presenting on TV and Radio: An insider’s guide.”
