American Broadcast
Talent is dedicated in assisting individuals in making resume tapes. No matter
if it is news anchoring, reporting, weather, sports anchoring or
entertainment reporting, we can customize a tape for you.
We assist inexperienced and
experienced tv broadcasters.Most
clients that attend have some
previous formal education or some
introduction to the broadcasting
industry. American Broadcast
Talent does not consider itself a
college or higher learning institution.
Since
2001, our
goal is to help each person create a professional
resume tape that can help secure
employment.This is done with a
combination of classroom, studio
and field work.
Depending on your
tape needs,
(news, weather or sports and entertainment) you will
be instructed by those that carefully
know what
you need
on your
resume tape to help secure future
employment.
Some things to consider about a
resume tape:
Your
resume tape is essential in finding a reporter job, anchor job,
weather job, entertainment job or sports job. Journalism is a
very competitive field. And getting that first TV job can be
tough.
But
broadcast journalism has always been difficult to get into unless your
understand the industry. There are hundreds of people with
demo tapes searching for the same jobs in journalism. Just
being a great journalist is not enough in finding media jobs.
You must have a great news resume tape or entertainment resume tape
depending on you area of specialization.
Remember,
the hiring source does not know you, they only know what they see on
the resume tape. Broadcast jobs in broadcast journalism
require a solid anchor resume tape, news tape, weather resume tape,
news resume tape, media resume tape, reporting resume tape, media
file or whatever you want to call a tape or DVD that represents your
on-air talents. It is very unlikely you will just be able to
"talk your way" into a real on-air position with out a resume tape.
And
you must think about your area of specialization. Reporter
jobs requires a reporter resume tape. A sports job calls for a
sports resume tape. A weather job you need a weather resume
tape or a meteorologist resume tape. A on air anchor job
requires a anchor resume tape. And an entertainment job calls
for that special entertainment resume tape. So knowing what
you want to do for a career is just as important as the news tape
itself. Putting a "little bit of everything" on you demo tape
will actually hurt your chances of landing a job.
Not
everyone has the opportunity to go to a top journalism school or
broadcasting school in order to get on-air television job.
And attending elite broadcasting schools is no guarantee of a on-air
tv job. TV jobs require more than just "book smarts."
TV positions require the "hands on skills" to do it all. This
means knowing how to write, edit, shoot, report, produce in
television journalism. If you have these skills, and have a
great resume tape, journalism jobs and other related communications
jobs will be much easier to find.
