John McQuiston has conducted seminars, done individual coaching and tape critiques for more than a decade. Now when you order John's DVD A Reporter's Guide to the Art of Television Storytelling, you'll also get a free critique of your work. People whose tapes John has critiqued have told him that his feedback helped them sharpen their skills, improve their tapes and find new jobs.

Even better, you can wait a full year after you order the DVD before redeeming your critique. That way you can practice the the techniques John shows you in the DVD before he looks at your work.

ANCHORS

  • We'll look at how well you communicate through the camera and suggest ways to improve your performance.
  • You'll see how your movements, mannerisms and voice affect how well you connect and communicate with viewers.
  • We'll discuss how to overcome any obstacles preventing you from establishing command on the set and communicating effectively on camera.

REPORTERS

  • We examine aspects of your storytelling including story structure, writing, pacing, content and story focus.
  • We'll discuss how to make your story interesting to someone who ordinarily wouldn't care about its subject.
  • You'll get ideas on improving your voice and on-camera delivery, making your standups stronger and doing more lively live shots.

You'll also get a critique of how well you present your skills on your résumé tape and how you can structure it to best capture a news director's attention and keep it for the length of your tape.
