Get Free Publicity -- How To Peform Like A Star On Tv Talk Shows

By:


Judy Kerr is an author and an acting coach. She was the on-set dialogue coach for the TV Show "Seinfeld." Her book, Acting is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles," now it it's 11th edition, is the most respected book on the business of acting and getting a career.

In addition to coaching actors, Kerr teaches business people how to perform well while selling their products in commercials and while being interviewed on television talk shows. Here are a few of her insider secrets for dazzling TV talk show hosts and audiences:

1. If you can tell a great story, you'll really do well, according to Kerr. She advises practicing story telling with friends to get their feedback.

2. Be succinct and get to the point quickly. She adds that you should assume that people already know a lot bout the subject. Don't bother to give them every little detail, unless you have a relevant joke that is really great.

3. You must know the story or message you are going to tell the audience ahead of time. On the bigger shows, the talent coordinator will interview you to get to know what you are going to discuss. On smaller shows, such as cable access and other lower level shows, help them out by giving them a list of questions to ask you.

4. Kerr suggests writing out your stories and messages. "Try to get them as short, to the point, and as entertaining as possible. If it's a new product, specify all the points about what it can do," Kerr says.

5. If you become aware that the camera is doing a shot of just you, and that the audience is watching, remember that you are really talking to the host. You want to engage that person as much as you can.

6. Sometimes it is important to talk directly to the camera. At these times, it can be helpful to imagine that you are talking to single person sitting in their home. Imagine that this person is someone who knows you and cares for you. Someone who is very supportive and doesn't pass judgment, Kerr advises.
