Presenting course in Ireland that provides you with direct coaching from the country’s leading Voice Coach, this is an unmissable opportunity to work with the very best.

“Thank you so much for the recent four day TV Presenting course. I found the course inspiring, motivating, challenging and just what I needed to take the step into the broadcasting world. So far in the 7 weeks since completing the course I have been on RTE Lyric FM’s Culture File, recorded voice overs and music programmes for Aer Lingus and Vietnam Airlines and I’m also in the process of making 8 radio programmes on the arts. I also was asked by a TV3 Midday Producer to be on their TV panel discussion which went very well and they have since asked me back! Last Friday I met with an independent Television Production Company to pitch an idea to them which I hope to present, this is now being developed further. I appreciate the time you have taken to advise me and I would strongly recommend this course for anyone who is seeking a career in Television or Radio.” Rosaleen Molloy, Broadcaster, Arts & Cultural Specialist, Wexford

Participants will be coached in their vocal and physical delivery skills both in groups and individually. They will work with autocue to deliver News, and on scripts for pieces to camera for studio, interview and ‘live’ outside broadcast situations. An invited Special Guest  from the Television Industry will offer additional valuable advice on both delivery styles and career options. With full use and access to the Irish Film Academy’s cameras and edit suites, all students who successfully complete the course will leave with their own personal broadcast-standard Show Reel, and with a contact list for work both in Ireland & the UK.

“Having tried other Presenter courses I felt unfulfilled and uninspired. Someone in RTE recommended I tried the TV Presenting course with Poll Moussoulides of Voice Coach Training. Immediately I knew I had made the right decision. The course was practical, challenging and very focused. With a small class size and lots of personal attention I was made aware of, and shown how to improve, my voice, body language and improvisational skills. Through Poll’s expertise and guidance we had to write, perform and present on demand, which is exactly how it is in reality. Continual encouragement and insightful coaching allowed me to experience what it really takes to become a TV Presenter. I was pushed hard at my own request and in a short time I was able to combine all my new skills to harness my nervous energy & adrenaline and deliver a well written and confident showreel. Working with Poll has left me with a long lasting and positive impression. I have since used his direction, training and advice in various auditions and castings and have just been offered my first television presenting job which I am very excited about. At the end of the day it’s up to you and what you put in, however everyone needs to continually up-skill from those in the know, and I can not recommend a better person than Poll to get you there as quickly as possible.” Kelly Kierans, Television Presenter and Actor
