I really enjoyed the session — the host was personable, experienced, and well-informed. I found the use of acronyms particularly helpful in remembering key concepts for interviews. The opportunity to practice, watch back, and receive real-time feedback was invaluable. I would recommend this training to anyone looking to strengthen their ability to speak to the media across both comfortable and challenging topics.

I think the first section was repetitive to those on the team who have either done multiple sessions of media training, or who have worked in the industry for a number of years, but can appreciate why the content was in there. I really enjoyed the tips around location, microphone position and slating and pausing the audio recording. The tip sheet will be useful to share with our spox and storytellers and support them through recordings.
