On-Camera Techniques Series
Lights, camera, action! Monday launched the start of an exciting four-part seminar series about on-camera techniques for the students to utilize in the weekly news segments. Taught by voice actor Renee Beale and former CNN correspondent Jamie McIntyre, the students had the opportunity to practice their camera techniques with professional equipment and coaching.
For the first seminar in the series, the students practiced their on-camera energy, learning techniques such as “don’t drop the last syllable” and to hold eye contact with the camera when done speaking. Renee and Jamie discussed the different means of delivering information, like audio-prompting, and taught the “set of three” technique for creating vocal interest.
We can’t wait to see what else this unique learning opportunity will bring! Special thanks to the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts and their Bright StARTS program for making this opportunity possible.
