The price of a poor host costs far more than any day rate.
A poor host costs you:
- video views
- connection with your audience
- reputation
- time
everyone has a good reel…
Producers and media outlets rely on a strong on-camera host to carry their content and capture an audience. Unfortunately, many make their decision solely based off a reel, overlooking some of the most important traits of a great host.
Here are the Top Eight Pitfalls A Reel Can't Show You:
· Preparation. A poor host lacks preparation and research skills to find accurate and up-to-date information on celebrities and event attendees.
· Rapport. A poor host can struggle to build rapport quickly with an interviewee or their team, and pivot questioning when needed.
· Poise. A poor host can flounder when things go awry, causing uncomfortable, if not painful, moments.
· Punctuality. A poor host shows up late, if at all, hopefully dressed presentably, but more often may be donning a look incongruous with your outlet.
· Relationships. A poor host can hurt relationships with event coordinators, publicists, and celebrities, which may keep your outlet from being invited back.
· Experience. A poor host won’t understand the framing of the shot, how to speak and work with the camera crew, and what to do when the weather, lighting, or lineup positioning are not in your favor.
· Production. A poor host won’t fully understand the scope of post-production goals, and therefore hurt the final outcome.
· Reputation. A bad on-camera host can leave a sour association with your outlet at an event, or worse, ruin your company’s reputation in the area.
