Do You Want to be a TV Host? Do You Have an Idea for a Great New Show?

Our TV Hosting Connection Weekend Intensive is the best way to gain on-camera hosting & communication skills that merge solid traditional on-air training with today's cutting edge hosting skills and connect with the movers & shakers in the Hosting & Programming world.

You'll have TWO full days to polish your hosting skills, think on your feet, learn how to work with bullet points, Teleprompter, how to bring out your point of view, and put your personal stamp on your communication & story telling skills. You also learn how to improve your audition skills to book TV hosting jobs. You'll come up with your own show or segment concept and our training will help prepare you to bring it to life on Sunday in front of some of NY's top Hosting Agents, Casting Directors and a Producer/ Content Developer who helps create and pitch shows to networks.

Taught by the best-of-the-best from the East Coast TV Hosting Industry, Patricia Stark and Todd Miller will mentor you with their extensive knowledge and unique coaching styles. They will focus on the essentials of hosting such as how to nail the audition, branding yourself, improving your read, how to create and polish your demo reel, mastering the teleprompter/ear prompter and how to get the representation that best suits you!

There will also be man on the street exercises, improv interviews, copy exercises and audition simulations. This exclusive on-camera workshop offers a unique experience for hosts to network with other hosts, perfect their craft in a positive, supportive environment and be seen and coached by an actual casting director-Todd Miller, and a media coach & established host who has worked on over 25 different television shows-Patricia Stark.

The weekend will finish with a final showcase to FOUR Top NY Hosting Agents, Casting Directors and the Producer/Content Developer. The format will begin with Q & A where you'll have YOUR chance to ask specific questions all about the TV hosting/broadcast industry. After the Q & A, you will showcase your work ON CAMERA in front of the panel.

Plus you'll walk away with your digital takes from the showcase that will be emailed to you.

***Your final work will be recorded as a digital file. Within one week after this intensive, you will receive an email with the file to watch and view your work.***
