The Media Training Workshop Series wraps up with the last session On-Camera Interview Techniques, a quick, down and dirty (or lean and clean) introspection into the art of giving a great media interview.
PR professional Audra Boltion will lead this workshop in capturing the attention of your audience to benefit your cause or project with a few simple, yet important steps in this fun, hands-on session. Attendees will learn how to pull off all interviews, even tricky ones, with grace and efficiency, complete with guidelines for creating talking points and mock q&a sessions.
Prerequisite: Attendees are asked to have a specific project that they want to practice promoting. Some interviews will be recorded and critiqued by the class.
