ABSTRACT

Being a visual storyteller sometimes requires making yourself visible. On-camera reporters may appear on screen daily, and anchors report both from the studio and field. Even folks who commonly work off camera or behind it—whether photographers, producers, or even writers—sometimes conduct interviews, cut voice-over tracks, and occasionally appear on-camera. No matter your responsibilities, this chapter can help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera and microphone, more appealing to your managers and viewers, and perceived as a more polished and professional communicator. Ultimately, such qualities can help make you a better communicator and accelerate your career.
