“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death.”
Our company is a media-training, coaching and video production company based here in Las Vegas. We have a combined forty (40) years of broadcast television producing and directing experience in major television markets across the country. Our primary clients are on-air personalities, corporate executives, spokespeople and celebrities who appear on television and radio.
We offer training and coaching for those people representing your company or association. We work with top executives from Fortune 500 companies nationwide, as well as local companies and personalities and actors here in Las Vegas.
Polished delivery of your message, performance or sales pitch is critical to properly illustrate the correct message, product or services. Too often, the people out front, who deal with all types of media, can do more damage than good if they are not properly prepared and trained to handle reporters during taped or live interviews. This is especially true for LIVE interviews and AMBUSH questions.
We train and coach those people in a variety of areas including speaking skills, voice and pace control, acting techniques, critical thinking, projection, poise, confidence, connecting with the audience and camera presence, attire, hair and make-up, just to name a few. Every client is assessed and video-taped during our sessions, after our initial free consultation to determine specific needs and training modules, which are individually designed. IMAGE IS EVERYTHING.
