News anchoring is probably the single most teleprompter-heavy hosting gig around. If you want to have a chance in hell of getting a job, you’d better make sure you’re an expert prompter reader. You also need to be comfortable speaking directly to camera, as that’s essentially the entire role. Examples include “E! News,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” “Access Hollywood,” and “Extra.”
Many clients have no idea what level they’re performing at until an on-air expert observes and offers critiques and advice on how to improve. Whether it’s teleprompter reading, writing news or hosting scripts, voice and diction, or on-air presence, there are so many elements involved in becoming an on-camera superstar that it’s a good idea to have a professional observe and provide feedback.
