In today’s digital media age it is all about content, and a great deal of it is now recorded from a desk rather than a studio.

Being comfortable communicating online is integral to career progression. Whether you are hosting, being interviewed, or presenting to a camera on your own laptop, the skills are learnable and the difference is obvious to an audience.

Sessions cover what to say and how to say it, so your podcasts and video calls are on message, on brand and worth sharing. They also cover the practical side: framing, eyeline, lighting and sound, none of which need expensive equipment to get right.

Formats

  • Podcast interview training, for hosting or for being the guest
  • Presenting to camera, with detailed playback and feedback
  • Video call and webinar presence for senior executives
  • Setting up a laptop so you look and sound like you meant it

What you gain

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions about podcast and on screen communication training.

What is podcast and on screen communication training?

Coaching for the formats that are recorded rather than performed in a room: podcast appearances, presenting to camera, video calls and webinars. It covers message and delivery, and the practical setup around them.

Do you cover being a guest as well as hosting?

Yes. Hosting and guesting are different jobs. Sessions are built around whichever one you are actually doing.

Will I get on-camera practice?

Yes. Training includes presenting to camera, with playback and feedback on what to say and how to say it.

Do I need a proper studio or special equipment?

No. Most of the difference comes from framing, eyeline, lighting and sound, and all four can be sorted out on an ordinary laptop in an ordinary room.

Is this useful for internal video calls, not just podcasts?

Yes. The same skills apply to a board update over video as to a recorded interview, and for most people the video calls are the more frequent test.
