TPRD-230 - Speaking on TV

3 credits

This class is similar to a speech class, but emphasizes the techniques needed to speak effectively and communicate to an audience through the camera. Proper professional on-camera behavior will also be covered. The student is introduced to various speaking styles and techniques and then practices those techniques in taped studio settings. This course is concurrent with TPRD-210 - Advanced Television Writing. The students will perform the written material completed in TPRD 210 in this course. Formats such as individual editorial, commercial, corporate and host/interview will be covered. The students will also act as a production crew for each other, so stated prerequisites must be completed.
