STUDENT JOURNALISTS - this one’s for you.

If you’re a senior, getting ready for graduation in May, there are some serious things to consider before getting your first on-air job:

👉Do you have a tape ready to send out?
👉Is your tape the best it can be?
👉Are you ready to day turn?

I will make your tape.
I will coach you to get the best material.
I will help you pitch those day turns.

This is a simple and affordable service that I wish was available when I was getting my start. I had no idea what I was doing at first — and struggled.

I’ll be right there to prop you up.

Your career goals are top priority and sometimes, time is of the essence.

A client needed a quick turn for her tape and had a ton of material to include — BUT NO TIME TO EDIT!

That’s why you need ReelTVTalent.com.

I had this reel done in less than a week and final approval upon arrival.

I’ll make your reel for $300. It’s as simple as uploading video.

AGENTS ARE EXPENSIVE.
They’re taking up to 10% of your salary for the length of your contract.

If you’re making $45,000 - that’s $4,500/year, gone.
If you’re making $38,000 - that’s $3,800/year, gone.

THAT’S INSANE.

My services are budget friendly.
I will coach you for $250.
I will make your tape for $300.
I’ll do both for $650.

We don’t make a lot of money in this business. Don’t spend money you shouldn’t.

💰WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU WHEN I CAN GET THIS FOR FREE?

🤑That’s a great question.

✅You might have a mentor in the business.
➡️But that person is busy.
➡️That person may not be able to get back to you right away.
➡️That person is working their own job and can’t focus on you.

🚨Truth is, you are my job.
👉You’re paying me to focus on you.
👉You’re paying me to spend hours coaching you.
👉You’re paying me to make your resumé tape shine.

💵You can take shortcuts in investment.
🤔But are you willing to take a shortcut at risk of your career?

☝🏼That sounds like an easy question to answer.

☘️ MARCH INTO A NEW JOB!

✅ Now is the time to take stock of your career.

❓Is your contract up soon?
❓Do you have the best material on your tape?
❓Have you updated your resumé?

🔥Having the best content on your resumé tape is very important. It showcases who you are as a reporter and your strengths in the field.

🤔But uncertainty can hurt your job search.

👉That’s where I come in.

🙋🏻‍♂️I will not only put your resumé tape together, I will coach you to help reach your potential.

💵My packages are simple and cost effective.

🚨This is the most important step to getting that next job, in a bigger market.

☝🏼Don’t waste an opportunity to work with a pro.

👉 SIMPLE. DESCRIPTIVE. CONERSATIONAL.

3️⃣ These are three things to keep in mind when you’re live at the scene of breaking news.

🥇Stick to the facts.
🥈Describe the scene.
🥉Talk to your viewers like you’d talk to a friend.

⏳As a reporter, you simply do not have time to get caught up in the whirlwind of whatever is happening around you. You have to remain steadfast and focused on your job.

🚨But your job isn’t just about regurgitating what “officials” tell you. That’s how you wind up talking like a police officer or a firefighter.

😑“The fire started on the number three side and there’s an exposure…”

NO.

👍🏼“The fire started in the back of the house and flames burned their way through to the house next door…”

BETTER.

🚫The word “incident” or “injuries” or “resident” SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR VOCABULARY!

⭐️I will help you make your packages and liveshots sing. All you have to do is book a consultation and we’ll be fast friends.

👀WHO DOESN’T HAVE SELF DOUBT?

🥸Imposter syndrome is a legit thing, where you don’t think you’re as good as others think you are… kind of like you’re a fraud… or people are blowing smoke.

🤔It’s good to be your worst critic. But it’s also important to act on that self doubt.

💪🏼That’s where I come in. I’ve been in this business for about 15 years. I’ve got the experience to help you work through your biggest concerns, to make you a stronger storyteller and a reliable live reporter.

✨There’s no reason to beat yourself up. There is a reason to grow and continue learning.

⭐️In our coaching sessions, you send me video. I watch it. Make notes. We go over it together. You take that feedback and implement changes before our next meeting.

💥The process continues until you’re ready to move on. It’s that simple.

💰Oh, and it’s a fraction of the cost of an agent. Just saying.

💥Breaking news happens in a flash. Are you prepared?

🤷🏻‍♂️Have you been in the situation where you are live at the scene and you’re totally overwhelmed?

🤔Who to call, where to look, why this is important and how this impacts a community are all things to keep in mind.

🧘🏻‍♂️When you first arrive it’s so important you take a deep breath — this clears your head of the adrenaline and allows you a moment to think.

👀Take a look around at the situation. Assess it for yourself. Who is there? What landmarks do you see? Where are you staged? How did you get there? What questions do you have?

🎤Answers to these questions will help in your reporting, whether it’s a package or a liveshot.

🟡I can help you improve your liveshots and breaking news reporting. Make sure you check out reeltvtalent.com

💔How many of us are burned out!?

😥That means you are mentally and physically exhausted because of excessive stress. You know, that weight of do more with less.

🤷🏻‍♂️WELCOME TO 2022, right!?!

💪🏼We’ve all been there are some point in the last two years. But now is the time to look in the mirror and say “I GOT THIS.”

✨I’m also here to help you. As your coach, I will help you reimagine your stories, rethink questions you’re asking and repair your relationship with this industry.

💥Don’t you want to feel inspired again!?! I’m here to be your guide and your mentor.

❤️All you have to do is book now and say “BE MINE!”

🎬ARE YOU ON TAKE 12 OF YOUR STAND UP?

🙅🏻‍♂️Isn’t that the worst, most frustrating feeling!? Sure they make good bloopers in the end, but it’s annoying when we can’t just nail it.

‼️This app helped me out while I was working from home… but I bet it would help in the field too.

😵I had a really long (but necessary) stand up tag that was super technical. I would never have been able to memorize this. So I didn’t even try.

🔑After importing my script, I used my external lav and was good to go. This app was easy to use — FREE — and actually looked really sharp.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

THE SUSPECT FLED ON FOOT FROM THE 1200 BLOCK OF ABNORMAL AVENUE AND THE INCIDENT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

OMG GROSS! WHO TALKS LIKE THIS!?!

The correct answer is ONLY POLICE.

We shouldn’t be reporting like that. We should be synthesizing information and reporting it in a conversational way.

If it’s the 1200 block, give your viewers a cross street or a landmark. Stop saying “### block.” It doesn’t matter to a normal person.

If the suspect “fled on foot” — just say the person took off. It’s that simple.

Also, the word “incident” is enough to drive a viewer away. What is the incident!? If it’s unclear, say that.

Transparency is key in our reporting.

I can help you keep your writing tight and clear.

🎞IS YOUR REEL THE BEST IT CAN BE?

✂️When you’re editing your reel on your own, I’m sure you’re wondering if that clip is worth including.

🤷🏻‍♂️Why are you doing this on your own?

🙋🏻‍♂️This is something I will do for you.
👉You send me clips.
👉I find the best material.
👉You get an edited reel to send out.

💪🏼It’s that simple.
💲It’s low cost and worthwhile.
