Are you able to become a TV host?

The right features, a Hollywood smile, a convincing voice and the manners of a star. The halo of secrecy, which almost constantly surrounds the leading TV, on the one hand gives them a charm of mystery. On the other, it causes stereotypes. Friends and friends of those who flashes in the frame, - leads news, talk shows, popular science programs, - they know well: TV stars are ordinary people. It's just that fate has prepared such a path for them.

What needs to be done so that fate directs you along this path?

Well, first, you need at least to be a competent and erudite person. It is necessary. This is necessary even for someone who reads in the frame of news written by someone else's hand. It is hardly worth explaining that only after fully understanding WHAT it reads, the facilitator will understand HOW to read.

Charm is also necessary. The viewer must believe the leader. This charm does not mean an endless parade of smiles. You need to be able to smile to the place, where it is necessary.

Education. Yes, it does not hurt, it still did not bother anyone. And in order to successfully work in the frame, it is not necessary (albeit desirable) to finish the school of television journalism. The history of domestic TV knows many examples, when mathematicians, geographers, and physicists became very successful masters. For example, Vladimir Posner is a biologist.

In general, work in journalism (and the presenter is the same journalist as, for example, correspondent) assumes the existence of some life experience, a base from which the presenter is able to push off. Abroad, only a person who has already received higher education can become a journalist. A man is formed and already mature enough. There is a common opinion that teaching journalism right after school is ineffective. And this opinion among the journalists themselves is very much adherents.

Appearance. The statement that the TV presenter should be ideally beautiful is fundamentally not true. Undoubtedly, the form of the presenter on the screen should not cause rejection. But those who take the leaders to work, very often avoid being put in the frame of just beautiful people. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. The facilitator is a person whose task is simple, interesting and accessible to tell the viewer about something specific. And too bright appearance will distract all the attention of the viewer, which he must devote to the proposed material.

Correct clear diction. Quality, the importance of which for the presenter is very, well, VERY difficult to overestimate. Will you at least one minute listen to what you do not understand? Hardly. Therefore, a person "with a porridge in his mouth" on the screen is definitely not the place. However, often a bad diction - a fixable thing. Months of hard training - and now you read the texts no worse than Katie Andreeva or Maria Sittel ... But still worse!

Why? But because there is one more quality. The material must be properly presented. That is, do not just read it loud and clear. This must be done so that the viewer is by no means indifferent. The characterization of HOW is read, on journalistic slang is called "pitch". It happens sincere, aggressive, soft, tough, playful ... There are hundreds of epithets. And how and what to feed depends on what is served. To make it easier: the presentation of the presenter, relevant in the news program, under no circumstances will suit the leading program of "Good Night, Kids" or vice versa.

Feeling of taste, style. Yes, without him, too, anywhere. But believe me, any self-respecting channel, almost any broadcast, can not do without the help of make-up artists and stylists. So even the most unfashionable individual will soon be shining in clothes with needles and with a good hairdo. Another thing is how to carry all this on yourself. But this can be taught to anyone.

Conclusion: almost any of you under certain efforts could just like the Parfenov, the Brewers, Malyshev or Fedorov work in the frame. None of the above is not unattainable. Some qualities are inherent in all of us, and they only need to be developed. Some drawbacks are present for everyone. And we can get rid of them. The main thing to want. And with a certain share of luck in just a year or two or several months - who knows? it is you who will read us news from Ostankino.
