Broadcast Host / Presenter
Be the voice in front
Radio, podcasts, television and live events all need hosts and presenters who can think, talk and hold an audience in real time. If you are at home in front of people and quick on your feet, presenting turns those instincts into a public craft of its own.

what you would need to build
Presenting craft and a way in: on-air and on-stage technique, interviewing live, building a reel and a profile, and the persistence to break into a small, competitive field.
How to get there
- Get reps: host events, a podcast, anything live, and study presenters you admire.
- Build a reel that shows you can carry a room or a mic.
- Get close to production: radio, podcast networks, event hosting, and pitch yourself.
